Your first adjustment for any input to your {{T1}} is the Trim setting. The exact position of the Trim will vary depending on signal strength of your input source. The correct setting for any particular source may be different from your other sources. | |||

=== Set Up Your Source === | |||
Set your source at the maximum that it will be when performing. | |||
* Microphone | |||
:Sing directly into the microphone using close microphone technique (lips just brushing the windscreen). Sing as loudly as you will sing during your performance. You want to set the Trim to work at your maximum volume. | |||
* Instrument | |||
:Turn your input as high as it is likely to go during performance. | |||
=== Set Input Trim === | |||
Turn the Trim setting up until the Trim Light is solid green with occasional flickers of yellow. Use the Trim lights as your guide. (The exact position of the Trim knob is not important). | |||

If you see flickers of red (below), turn the Trim down. You are definitely nearing or in compression. Turn the Trim down until there are no red flickers. | |||

:The T1 has a three-stage trim LED. It lights up green when signal is present, yellow when you are getting pretty loud (8 to 10 dB of headroom left), and red when you dangerously close to or at full scale. | |||
:If the T1 trim is going red, you should back off, you are definitely nearing or in compression. | |||
:A really helpful feature on the T1 is to go to the Prefs/Output Level menu, and see where you are relative to maximum output. | |||
