What Does Roomsense Do For Me?
VoiceLive Play has stereo condenser mics built into the sides of the case, which we call
“RoomSense”. There are three features that you can select by pressing Setup and
adjusting the RoomSense parameter:
Ambient: Mixes the ambient sound of the room into your headphones and USB output.
Set RoomSense level in the Mix screen.
Auto Key: Any music that RoomSense can hear is used to set Harmony and HardTune key
automatically. Make sure the music is louder or closer to RoomSense than you, the singer.
Vocal: RoomSense replaces the XLR mic input. This is great for auditioning presets and
practicing without using a handheld mic. This feature only works with
the headphone and USB outputs.
Note: RoomSense is not available when a device is connected to the Aux input.
Optional Accessories:

3-button footswitch
