SINGING ALONG

You can use these controls to get the second just right:

Echo         - This adds an echo effect to your voice while you sing.
               Adjust ECHO between MIN and MAX for the desired effect.

NOTE:  The digital echo only affects the microphone's sound, not the audio
       input source.

Voice Cancel - This filters out bands recorded between 200 and 2 kHz
               (vocals range).  While you play the audio input source, set
               POWER to VOCAL CANCEL to reduce the prerecorded voice's
               volume.

NOTE:  The voice cancelling feature reduces the level of signals that are
       recorded at the same level on both the left and right channels.
       Therefore, it does not work well with monaural recordings or
       broadcasts, recordings or broadcasts with strong echoes, stereo
       recordings with material originally recorded in monaural, or vocals
       recorded off center.  Also, if a musical instrument was recorded in
       the center position, its sound level might decrease.

WARNING:  To protect your hearing, set the audio output component's volume
          to its minimum position before you turn it on.

Follow these steps to sing along with the audio input source.

1.  Turn on the audio input source and the audio output component.  You
    hear the audio input's sound through the audio output component.  Set
    the audio output component's volume control to a comfortable listening
    level.

2.  Set POWER to ON.  The POWER indicator lights.

3.  Turn on the microphone(s), adjust MIC 1's and/or MIC 2's volume
    control(s) to the desired sound level(s), and sing or talk into the
    microphone(s).  You hear your voice through the audio output
    component.

NOTE:  To avoid feedback, keep the microphone as far away from the
       speakers and the other microphone as possible.

4.  Set POWER to VOCAL CANCEL.  The prerecorded voice's sound is reduced.

5.  Adjust ECHO to add an echo to your voice.

6.  When you finish, set POWER to OFF.  The POWER indicator turns off and
    the sound passes through the Karaoke-Mate to the audio output compo-
    nent unaffected.

7.  Turn off the audio input source and the audio component.

USING THE KARAOKE-MATE AS A MIC MIXER

You can use your Karaoke-Mate as a simple microphone mixer.  For example,
if you connect an audio input source such as an electronic keyboard to the
STEREO LINE IN R and L jacks, you can sing or talk through the micro-
phone(s) and mix that input with the sound from the keyboard.
