Diagrams

To give you clear and concise representations of
what goes where, we have provided several con-
nection diagrams in the “Making connections”
(page 6) section. There are a few things we
would like you to keep in mind as you follow
these diagrams:
– Signal sources that go into your VoiceLive 3
(e.g. microphone or guitar) will always be
shown to the left of the back panel image
(1) .
– “Downstream” devices (mixers, speakers) will
always be shown to the right of the back panel
image
(2) .
– The box in the lower left corner shows what
signals you will hear from the VoiceLive 3
headphone output.
– The box in the lower right corner shows what
you will hear from your mixer / PA speakers.
This could be anything from a “stick system”
or a portable/all-in-one loudspeaker system
to powered studio monitors or even a DAW
recording interface.
In many cases, what you hear from the Voice-
Live 3 headphone output and your PA will be the
same
(5) – but it can also be different.
Please note that we do not account for other in-
puts or instruments in these diagrams – so you
won’t see pictures of drums
(4) etc. When a set-
up example includes a connection to your guitar
amp, we do not show that amp being miked and
sent through the PA (which often is the case) –
we are just showing you how to connect Voice-
Live 3 in a particular setup. This means the “what
you hear” section in the lower right corner does
not show guitar sounds coming from the PA –
even though they might at a gig.
