VocoPro GIG-STAR - Manual (Page 9)

Microphone/Instrument Input Connection
After making your main system connections, it is time to get your microphones and instruments connected and ready
for performing. Before you get started with your connections we recommend that you take the following tips into
consideration:
• When connecting instruments, refrain from using defective cables as they can cause significant noise and
loud pops, posing a threat to system speakers.
• When using effects devices for instruments, such as pedals/stomp boxes, use caution when connecting
a chain of multiple effects devices as the output voltage may change and possibly overload the GIG STAR’s
input channel.
• When connecting a guitar, longer cables are recommended to prevent guitar feedback from occurring
The GIG STAR has one guitar (1/4”), one keyboard (1/4”) and two microphone (1/4”/XLR) inputs. Remember that
both the XLR and ¼” cannot be used simultaneously.
AC Device Connections
The GIG STAR has an AC power outlet on the rear panel to provide power to a connecting device. Please note
that a device with a power consumption rating over 200W should not be connected as that exceeds the
allowable power feed. Doing so may cause serious damage to both devices and may void your warranty.
Getting Connected
• To connect a KEYBOARD, con-
nect a ¼” instrument cable from the
KEYBOARD’s ¼” output to the GIG
STAR’s ¼” KEYBOARD input.
• To connect a GUITAR, connect a ¼” instru-
ment cable from the GUITAR’s ¼” output to the
GIG STAR’s ¼” GUITAR input.
• To connect MICROPHONES via ¼” mic cables,
connect the XLR-end of the cable into the MICRO-
PHONE until it locks into place and connect the ¼”
plug into either of the MIC 1 or 2 jacks on the GIG
STAR.
• To connect MICROPHONES via XLR mic cables,
connect the XLR-F end of the cable into the
MICROPHONE until it locks into place and connect
the XLR-M end into either of the BALANCED MIC
1 or 2 jacks on the GIG STAR’s rear panel.
