Configuring and using TORPEDO VB-101
7.2 Speaker and Mic
You have access to more than 45 different cabinets, and each cabinet can be miked with 1 of
the 8 available microphones. Please refer to Part 7 to discover the microphone and cabinet library.
• Speaker: Determine which speaker cabinet model to use for
the simulation.
• Mic: Determine which microphone model to use for the sim-
ulation.
Scroll to select first your A then your B cabinet and microphone combination. A and B can be
different or identical.
7.3 User
• User: Determine which impulse response (IR) file to use for
the simulation. The "U" label indicates that the impulse has
been measured (with the TORPEDO Capture software) by the
user.
The "W" label indicates that the impulse has been converted from a wave (or aiff) file. You do not
have access to the microphone positioning options when using the User impulses (both "U" and "W").
You have access to the "Overload" parameters only for the "U" impulse responses.
8 MIKING
In the "MIKING" menu, you take the place of the
sound engineer. This is where you will find the
"sweet spot", the perfect microphone position. You
will also be able to control speaker saturation and
balance between simulated and non-simulated
tones. The first two parameters determine the mi-
crophone’s position. You can move the micro-
phone around inside a trapezoidal plane that the
TORPEDO Remote software lets you visualize.
8.1 Distance
• Determine the distance between the simulated cabinet and
microphone. Placing a microphone close to the cabinet will
result in a precise sound with a large amount of proximity
effect (dependent on the chosen model of microphone).
