Single Channel Use Blended DI and Mic Signals
When used for instruments, the 5017 can be used to phase align,
combine and compress direct and miced instrument signals. To
achieve this, use the DI for the instrument’s direct signal and the mic
preamp for the speaker cabinet signal. Connect the external ampli-
fier to the passive DI thru on the 5017 faceplate. The blend control
is used for mixing direct and amplified signals to achieve the desired
tonality of the two sources, and the variphase is used to minimize or
extenuate phase cancellations between the two signals. To compress
the blended signal, the internal compressor jumper must be set to
the blend path (this is the default setting). This technique could also
be used to create a single, mixed output of a guitar and vocals.

Dual Channel Use - Vocal and Instrument
Used as a two channel device, a lead singer / guitar player, can take
the classic studio quality of the 5017 wherever they go. In this
scenario, the vocal would use the mic input, the compressor and
mic output, while the guitar would use the instrument input and
blend output. To achieve this, the blend control should be selected
as fully DI, and an internal jumper needs to be set to the mic path.
When engaged, Silk mode would effect both vocal and guitar tracks,
and the HPF control would affect only the mic path.
