In setup and during the performance, it gives you more gain and increases the clarity of your mains and monitors. It's the affordable solution to feedback problems, perfect for wireless mics, monitors, acoustic/electric instruments, harmonica mics, multi-mic locations like conference rooms and courthouses -- wherever there's an open microphone. [. . . ] Keep raising the level slowly until all FIXED FILTERS and one dynamic filter is set. Any uninitialized dynamic filters will be set later if feedback occurs during the program. Now lower the channel level fader slightly so that the system is not on the verge of another feedback point. This is the maximum volume level that the SL-620 will be able to provide. Finally, during sound check, adjust the CLIP LEVEL ADJUST so that the red CLIP LED blinks intermittently, as you would adjust the recording level of a tape recorder. The unit will clip and distort the program if the CLIP LEVEL ADJUST is set too high. If it is set too low, the signal-to-noise ratio will degrade and the system may hiss. The best adjustment occurs when the clip levels of the SOLO and the final power amp are matched (when the clip level indicators blink at the same time). SM-620 SYSTEM INITIALIZING PROCEDURE Choose the output level. In the LO setting, the SM-620 has unity gain (input=output); use LO for mic level. In the HI setting, gain is adjustable between -15dB and +20dB using the clip level adjust; use HI for line level, or when you need to preamp the signal. 10 Select Phantom Power ON/OFF. Your SM is delivered from the factory with the phantom power function disabled. If you wish to use phantom power, you may enable the function by switching to "PHANTOM POWER - ON" on the back panel. The majority of low impedance balanced non-phantom-powered mics are wired to ignore phantom power. Check your microphone owner's manual for verification to avoid damage. Follow these steps to obtain the maximum gain before feedback without changing the tonal quality of your program. For use with monitors, substitute monitor send and master monitor control for input channel level fader and mixer master output. Be sure to turn off the mains when initializing the SOLO in your monitor system. Place the speakers and microphones in the positions where they will be used during the program. Set the mixer master output, all channel level faders, and the monitors to minimum. Turn on the mixer, any signal processing equipment, and finally the power amp. Press the SOLO's RESET button until the LEDs stop flashing to clear out filters set previously. If you are using a graphic EQ, adjust it only for the desired tonal qualities. The "BY" LED will light green to indicate the SOLO is in active mode and red if it is in bypass mode.
