Behringer V-TONE ACOUSTIC ADI21 User manual

BEHRINGER V-TONE ACOUSTIC ADI21
WELCOME TO BEHRINGER
Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing
the V-TONE ACOUSTIC A I21. This high-quality acoustic guitar
driver is designed for all acoustic guitar players who are looking
for more sounds to reach maximum flexibility and creativity.
Thanks to its high-performance EQ section (including parametric
mids) and the integrated Tube/Microphone Emulation, the A I21
gives your guitar natural sound with smooth saturation, just as if
it were being miked. In addition, the A I21 functions as a standard
ultra-transparent direct injection box when used in bypass mode.
A I ( irect Injection) box allows you to send a signal directly
from an unbalanced, high-impedance output (like an electric guitar)
and connect it directly to the balanced mic input of a mixing
console.
Whether for stage, recording, rehearsal or warm-up,
BEHRINGERs V-TONE ACOUSTIC A I21 is a natural choice for
those who are seeking great tone with a simple set-up.
CONTROL ELEMENTS
Control elements
The TREBLE control governs the high-frequency range of
the signal (+/-12 dB).
The BASS control allows you to boost/cut the low-
frequency range (+/-12 dB).
Use the MID control to boost or cut the mid-range
frequencies (+/-12 dB). The MID FREQ control lets you
select the middle frequency (170 Hz to 3.5 kHz) that will be
boost/cut.
The LEVEL control adjusts the output level of the A I21.
The BLEND control activates the integrated tube/
microphone emulation circuitry. In most cases, you will
probably set it to maximum (100%). If you want to hear
some of the distinct timbre of a piezo pickup or reduce the
amount of compression, simply turn the control
counterclockwise.
When activated, the GND LIFT disconnects the ground
connection between input and output. epending on the
grounding of the connected equipment, this can eliminate
hum or ground loops.
The -20 dB PAD switch attenuates the output level of the
BAL OUT (see ) by -20 dB. It should be activated
when the output level is too high for the microphone input
of the mixer channel.
+Before using the PAD switch, be sure that it is the
mic preamp on the mixing console that is clipping
and not the ADI21. You should onl attenuate the
output signal via the PAD switch if the CLIP LED of
the mic channel lights up frequentl or remains
lit.
Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate all the tone
functions (EQ, microphone/tube emulation). When
deactivated, the A I21 functions solely as a standard
transparent I box.
This LE illuminates when the effect is activated (see ).
Connectors
Use this 1/4" TS INP T connector to plug in the instrument
cable of your acoustic guitar or other instruments.
BAL O T is the A I21s balanced mic level output. Use a
high-quality, balanced XLR (microphone) cable to connect
the driver to a mixing console.
The unbalanced 1/4" TS O T connector sends the signal
to your guitar amp.
Bottom of the ADI21
SERIAL N MBER. The serial number of the A I21 is
located on the bottom.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT. Open the lid to install or
replace the 9 V battery (see also chapter POWER
REQUIREMENTS).
+The ADI21 is powered as soon ou insert a plug
into the INPUT. The batter is disconnected when
the plug is removed. For this reason, the ADI21 has
no on/off switch. To prolong batter life, alwa s
disconnect the input when the driver is not in use.

APPLICATIONS
Use with other instruments
The A I21 is not only for acoustic guitars. You can try it with
other instruments (e. g. bass/electric guitars, keyboards etc.) to
create new sounds and enhance your music. Please make sure
that the input level is not too high to avoid overloading the A I21.
Direct to a mixing console
For live and studio applications you can connect the balanced
XLR BAL OUT directly to a mic input of a mixing console. Be sure
not to overload the input by using the gain control of the respective
channel. For further information please refer to the users manual
of your mixing console.
Use without instruments
You can use the A I21 without an instrument as an outboard
processor connected to an insert or an effect path (aux send/
return) of your mixing console to affect the signal of a particular
channel. This way you can enhance existing tracks during
mixdown. For further information please refer to the users manual
of your mixing console.
