Introduction Welcome to VoiceSoloXT The TC-Helicon VoiceSoloXT VSM range of near field live monitoring speakers is a new concept in personal monitoring. TC-Helicon strives for excellence in all things related to vocals, and the VSM range builds upon the success and worldwide reputation of TC-Helicon's vocal expertise. If you can't hear yourself correctly in a live situation, it's hard to produce a good performance.
Introduction Preliminary Recommendations The VoiceSoloXT VSM series of monitors are capable of very high sound pressure levels (SPLs) especially at the close range when integrated onto a microphone stand. They were designed this way to be able to be loud enough to compete with live acoustic drum kits. In situations where high monitoring volumes are required we recommend that ear protection be used.
Front Panel Diagram 2 1 1. VOLUME level control This detented attenuator allows you to adjust your monitor level while staying close to your mic. This control functions differently than the volume control on an amplifier. As you turn up the volume on an amplifier, the amp works successively harder to produce more volume. With the VSM-200P XT volume control however, the amp continues to work hard whether your VoiceSoloXT’s volume control is turned up full or down.
Back Panel Diagram 1 2 1. Speakon® combo input jacks These jacks allow either a 1/4” speaker cable or Speakon equipped speaker cable to connect to VoiceSoloXT. These jacks are paralleled and can be used to chain several VSM-200P XT units together. Thus, both jacks are designated as IN/THRU. A note about chaining multiple VoiceSoloXTs Your VSM-200P XT has an impedance, or ohms rating, of 8 Ohms. Chaining two VSM-200P XTs together lowers the impedance the amp will have to drive to 4 Ohms.
Mic Stand Mounting VoiceSoloXT Placement Options VoiceSoloXT can be placed in 4 different ways. This versatility allows you to use it as a mic stand mounted monitor one night, a PA system on another and then use it at home for practice or jamming. 1. Separate the boom from the stand by unscrewing the boom from the vertical shaft of the microphone stand. To do this, tighten the clutch you use to raise and lower the stand first. This makes it easier to unscrew the boom section.
Mic Stand Mounting 3. Place VoiceSoloXT on the mic stand so the stand goes into the hole on the bottom of the VoiceSoloXT. If you don’t need to mount VoiceSoloXT on a boom stand, you are finished with your setup. If you require the boom, continue to the next step. 5. Screw the Mic Boom Mount Attachment into your boom. 6. Lift the lid on VoiceSoloXT, and while holding it open, slide the Mic Boom Mount attachment, on the boom into slot on top of the monitor and let the lid close. 4.
Mic Stand Mounting 7. Your VoiceSoloXT should now look like this. 2. Still holding the boom so that it does not swing away, turn the lock nut counter-clockwise until it’s snug against the bottom of the boom. Note that it’s not possible to completely tighten the lock nut with your fingers, the final action is done by swinging the boom snug against the lock nut. Adjusting the Boom To optimize line-of-sight and audibility it is usually better to have the monitor situated somewhat beside the singer.
Using VoiceSoloXT Introduction The following paragraphs should be read at least once to learn more about safe and successful use of VoiceSoloXT. Making Connections Before connecting speaker cables First of all, turn the amplifier that will drive VoiceSoloXT off. This is a general rule when connecting any speaker to an amp. Plug in the speaker cable(s) Connect a proper speaker cable between your amplifier and VoiceSoloXT’s IN/THRU jacks. Note that speaker cables and input cables with 1/4” jacks look alike.
