Music Controls:
Use MUSIC VOL control to adjust the overall volume of music. Stereo left-right panning
can be adjusted with BALANCE control. Use MUSIC LOW control, MID control and HI
control to adjust low, middle and high frequency characteristics of the music.
BBE- BBE is a sound enhancement technology designed to eliminate undesirable phase
shifting between high and low frequencies, increasing sound clarity and transparency.
It also boosts the very high and low frequencies for added brilliance and richness.
To turn BBE ON, press the BBE button and the BBE indicator light should illuminate.
Press the BBE button again to turn BBE OFF.
Microphone Controls:
Use MIC MASTER VOL control to collectively adjust the overall volume output for all three
microphone channels. Individual microphone volume can be adjusted using the MIC 1 VOL,
MIC 2 VOL, and MIC 3 VOL controls. To adjust individual microphone high middle and low
frequency characteristics, use MIC 1,2,3, LOW, MID and HI controls.
BALANCE control- Stereo left-right panning can be adjusted.
ECHO control- Adjusts the intensity (loudness of ECHO) of the echo effect for the
microphone channels. Turn counter clockwise to decrease intensity and clockwise to
increase intensity.
Echo Features:
Use ECHO MASTER VOL control to collectively adjust the overall echo output for all three
microphone channels.
Use DELAY control and REPEAT control to make microphone echo effect adjustments.
DELAY control- Adjusts the delay time interval (frequency of ECHO) on the echo effect for
the microphone channels. Turn counter clockwise for a shorter delay time and clockwise
for a longer delay time.
REPEAT control- Adjusts the ECHO delay time (number of ECHO) of the echo effect for the
microphone channels. Turn counter clockwise to decrease delay time and clockwise to
increase delay time.
To adjust individual echo high, middle, and low frequency characteristics, use LOW, MID
and HI controls.
