Setting up
Instead of jumping directly into a whole bunch of
descriptions of parameters and fine tuning con-
trols, now is a good time to back up a bit and ap-
proach VoiceLive 3 from a “Let’s use this thing!”
perspective.
First, if you haven’t read through the Quick Start
Guide that came in the box, we suggest you do
so now.
The minimum gear you will need from here is:
► Your VoiceLive 3
► A microphone – either
► Dynamic (e.g. a TC-Helicon MP-75 or MP-
76, SM58, or OM5)
► Condenser (e.g. a Beta 87A or enCore 300)
► An XLR cable (microphone cable) to connect
your microphone to VoiceLive 3
► A guitar or MIDI keyboard, if applicable
► Headphones
► The Guitar/Headphone cable that came with
your VoiceLive 3.
If you would prefer to use VoiceLive 3 via your
PA, you will need one or two additional XLR ca-
bles to connect VoiceLive 3’s XLR outputs to in-
puts at your mixer.
A lot of PAs are mono and only require one XLR
connection. If you have a stereo PA, you will want
to connect both VoiceLive 3 XLR outputs to your
mixer.
Connecting VoiceLive 3
to your mixer/PA
► Determine whether your mixer/PA is stereo or
mono.
► Connect the appropriate number of cables
from VoiceLive 3’s XLR outputs to the mixer/
PA inputs (1 for mono, 2 for stereo).
! If your P.A. is Stereo, you will need to pan one
channel left and the other one right in order to
receive the benefits of VoiceLive 3’s stereo ef-
fects.
