VIMA JM-5
7. Singing and playing along to a song
The JM-5 allows you to connect two microphones. It also provides several functions to process both your “live” signal
sources and the songs you play back.
Connection and basic settings
1.
Set the [MIC 1] and/or [MIC 2] knob to the
minimum value.
You should do so each time you need to connect or
disconnect a microphone. Furthermore, only increase
the setting if somebody actually wants to sing, and
then set it back to the minimum value.
2.
Connect a microphone (see p. 15).
3.
Sing or talk into the microphone and gradu-
ally turn the [MIC 1] or [MIC 2] knob
towards the right.
Set the knob in such a way that you can easily hear
your voice or instrument. If the sound distorts, you
need to turn the knob a little towards the left again.
NOTE
If you don’t hear anything, check the setting of the
[MASTER VOL] knob.
4.
Choose the song you want to play back
(page 20).
5.
Press the [®÷π] button to start playback.
6.
Start singing or playing at the right
moment.
7.
If the song is too loud or too soft, you can
change the balance between the accompa-
niment and your singing:
•Use the [BACKING] knob to increase or decrease the
song level.
If doing so would make the JM-5’s overall level way
too soft, turn the [MIC 1] or [MIC 2] knob towards the
right. (Be careful to avoid distorting the microphone
signal, though.)
8.
Press the [ª] button to stop playback and
return to the beginning of the song.
Socket Explanation
MIC 1 Is intended for the main microphone. The
signal received via this socket can be pro-
cessed with the JM-5’s harmony effect
(see p. 25).
This socket can provide phantom power
for a condenser microphone (see p. 27).
MIC 2 Can be used for a second microphone for
karaoke duets. The harmony effect is not
available for the second microphone.
