Shaping the sound of the lead voice |513
Programming the gate
The Gate control helps in minimizing feedback, and reducing the amount of
audible effects processing on sounds entering the mic other than your voice.
A typical, fixed gate works by shutting off, or reducing the level of any signal
below a threshold that you set. When you sing louder than that threshold,
the gate will open and your vocal will come through the amplification sys-
tem. When you aren’t singing, the gate will close and block sounds around
you.
▪ Use the On/Off button to turn the gate on or off.
▪ Use the Threshold knob to define the minimum singing level you need to
reach in order for the Gate to open and let your voice sound. The range is 0
to 100. A typical setting of 40 is very sensitive to allow a wide range of sing-
ing levels but it may also allow more nearby instrumental sounds through
when you are not singing. In this case, further adjustment from 39 and up-
ward may be needed.
You can also turn the gate to Off with good results if you are in a quiet, low
volume musical environment.
