Balancing a Microphone Channel
When adjusting Mic levels, it is recommended to do so in this order:
1. First adjust the MIC VOLUME control to approximately 50%. (Shown on Fig. 1)
2. Then balance the LOW, MID and HIGH controls to approximately 40-60%. (Shown on Fig. 2)
3. Start background music with the MUSIC VOLUME set at approximately 50%. (Shown on Fig. 3)
4. Fine-tune each MIC CHANNEL as necessary till you get a clean balanced mix
5. Remember to compensate if the background music has striking volume changes. To do this, you can utilize the -20dB GAIN PAD.
The -20dB Gain Pad toggles between a current volume level and reduced gain volume level. This control can be used to immedi-
ately go from one volume level to another by a quick push of the button.
6. Once all the settings are complete, do a complete song for complete balancing success.
Balancing the Music Channel
When adjusting the music levels follow the same procedure as seen above for Mic levels.
Balancing the Music with the Vocals
The DA-3700 Pro has MASTER, HIGH, MID and LOW controls for both the music and the microphone levels, which enables you to
adjust your mix levels with precision, resulting in a professional-sounding mix. If you find that the music is too loud, simply adjust the
MUSIC VOLUME control. Also, keep in mind that HIGH, MID and LOW levels also affect the overall “sound” and can be adjusted to
correct sound balancing problems. Excessive high (treble) frequencies can lead to feedback, so be careful when adjusting them.
