To turn the Vocalist Live 2 on or off, connect or disconnect the included PS0913B power supply from the Power Input jack. Connect the Microphone, Guitar, and P. A. If you need phantom power, press the Phantom Power switch on the Vocalist Live 2 back panel. Note: Phantom power is normally only needed with condenser microphones, and should never be used with ribbon microphones. To avoid damaging the microphone, please consult your microphone documentation to ensure phantom power is applied only when appropriate. Make sure your guitar amplifier is turned off and the volume level is turned all the way down. [. . . ] Tip: The Vocalist Live 2 "remembers" about 30 seconds of music while you play to determine the proper harmonies. This can be useful when you're switching between songs with radically different chord progressions. 19 Some Usage Notes · · · The guitar signal is only present in the Guitar Thru jack. This enables you to process your guitar using other guitar pedals and effects. Do not hook up any other effects pedals to your guitar prior to plugging it into the Vocalist Live 2, as this could affect vocal harmony generation. [. . . ]
