How do I set up my 2BA-221 for vocals?

Plug your microphone into the back XLR jack and the XLR Tube Output jack into your live sound or recording device input, making sure that input is set up for +4dB level input (if it is set for -10dB only, use the TRS 1/4 inch output instead). If your mic requires phantom power, turn it on with the power switch. Turn up the Tube Output gain to about 1 o'clock, turn the mic impedance (Ώ) to 10k, turn the Filter to On and set the High Pass control to 12:00, turn up Mic Gain while singing until you get occasional yellow lights on the meter and you are getting a proper sound level though your system. If you hear distortion even though the meter is not lighting red, turn on the pad switch and turn up the Mic Gain control.
