Korg PA800 - Singing with a connected microphone; Connecting the Microphone

Singing with a connected microphone
Connecting a microphone
Pa800 is fitted with a powerful digital voice processor, based on technologies developed by TC Heli-
con, including effects and three-part harmonization.
Connecting a microphone
To sing along with the Pa800, you must first connect a suitable microphone to AUDIO INPUT 1 (the
one that goes to the Voice Processor). Any dynamic microphone is directly supported. To connect a
phantom-powered condenser microphone, you need an external phantom power supply. You can also
connect the microphone though an external mixer, and connect one of the mixer’s line outputs to the
AUDIO INPUT 1 of the Pa800.
1 Lower the Mic/In track volume by using the dedicated slider on the con-
trol panel.
Note: Lowering the
Audio In track volume
helps avoiding feedback.
Feedback is caused by
audio generated by the
Pa800, returning to the
audio circuitry via the
microphone.
2 Connect a microphone.
3 Press the EFFECT and HARMONY buttons to turn their LED off, and deacti-
vate the Voice Processor.
