How to use

Connect your microphone to the VoiceTone T1 input and run its output to a mixer, PA system or audio interface. Use the front-panel control to set the amount of dynamizing and harmonic enhancement while monitoring through stage monitors or headphones.

Recommendations

For live use, set a conservative effect amount and refine while listening through the house mix to preserve natural vocal character. In studio tracking, try slightly higher settings for presence and then fine-tune with EQ and compression during mixing. Regularly check gain levels to prevent unwanted distortion when switching between different singers or microphone types.
