Switch on the Expedition Express power.

While speaking into the microphone, playing the instrument, or playing
•
music from a line level audio source, slowly raise the channel VOL until you
have reached the desired level.
NOTE: If not using the channel 1 input, turn the VOL control all the way down to
keep out any unwanted noise.
Using EQ
The Expedition Express feature a 2-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the
systems overall high and low frequencies. The system's frequency response is
flat when the knobs are in the vertical or "12:00" position. Small movements of
the controls can make a big difference. Turning the controls all the way up can
cause distortion. Use your ears when adjusting the EQ to fit your application.
We have provided two example settings to help you get started fine tuning your
system.
Setting the EQ for Music
If you are using the Expedition Express for music
playback, turn up the BASS and TREBLE slightly
to produce a "hi-fi" frequency response that ac-
centuates the low and high ranges.
Setting the EQ for Vocal
If you are using your Expedition Express with a
microphone for speech only, you can reduce the
BASS and raise the TREBLE slightly, which will
produce a frequency response that accentuates
the vocal range.
