We’ve designed the {{Compact}} with the goal of providing a simple user interface for both musicians and general purpose users. You will notice there is volume control for each channel but no overall master volume. This means that the power amp section is always at full gain. In this configuration the Channel 1 and Channel 2 volume controls are effectively acting as trim controls. The benefit of a trim control is that you don’t need to significant gain in order to drive the {{Compact}} to full output.

The {{Compact}} microphone Channel 1 is designed to work with a wide range of handheld microphones from popular microphones like a Shure Beta 58A all the way to lower sensitivity microphones like the Sennheiser e8155. As you may know sensitivity can vary between microphones so we’ve elected to include a higher amount of gain on the microphone channel.

In order to maximize signal to noise (when using the {{Compact}} Channel 1 Microphone Channel) we recommend that you determine the loudest level that is required for your room/application and follow the steps below.

# Plug in your microphone to Channel 1

# Turn the {{Compact}} Channel 1 Volume/Trim to 9 o’clock

# Speak into the microphone at your loudest volume and softest volume

# Adjust the Channel 1 Volume/Trim control to a setting that will work for your loud and soft vocal passages.

# Remember since this is effectively a trim control (and the master is at full) you don’t need to build additional headroom into the system.

# Additional tip: In most cases, the Channel 1 Volume/Trim Preamp has more gain than you will ever need, so if you don’t need the extra gain, don’t use it as it will only introduce noise.
