TALK OVER
PA-223 is equipped with 2 voice priorities: 1 for the 1st MIC/Line input, the 2nd for the wireless sys-
tem.
This function allows to speak while music is playing > Priority of speech over

as soon as the mic is open. The voice priority for the MIC/Line input overrides
external music through the AUX1 input.
VOLUME CONTROLS
PA-223 is equipped with 5 independent volume controls: MIC/Line1, MIC/Line2, Aux1, Aux2 and
the master volume control. It is the general volume control output. This setting allows to balance
the different levels of each input.
TONE ADJUSTMENTS
PA-223 is equipped with 3 highly performing tone adjustments.
1 bass frequency tone control on 100 Hz with +/- 12 dB efficiency.
1 treble frequency tone control on 10000 Hz with +/- 12 dB efficiency.
1 voice adjustment especially designed for use in medium frequency which allows for a sharp
increase of voice presence on the mic inputs.
To avoid the larsen effect when you switch on mics, do not turn the gain if you are
not far from PA-223. ADVICE : We strongly recommend that you switch off the mic,
adjust the volume of the PA-223 to the desired volume, then be a few meters away
before switching on the mic again.
