XP300 • Portable PA System 9

Quick Start

To add depth to the mix or smooth out vocals, you can apply effects such as reverb to the first

two channels. To do this:

10. Use the PROGRAM selector to choose one of the 16 built-in digital effects.

11. Raise the EFFECTS level controls on the channel(s) to which you would like to add the

effect.

12. Slowly turn up the effects SEND knob until the desired sound is reached.

The XP300 input channels feature a 2-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the tonal

characteristic of the signal. You can independently adjust the bass and treble frequencies on

each channel. The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the 12 o’clock

position.

13. If you find the audio too muddy, you may want to reduce the LF (low

frequency) control.

14. If you find that the audio sounds dull, you can increase the HF (high

frequency) control. There is no right or wrong way to EQ a sound. You

should listen to how the mix sounds in the room and fine-tune to your

liking.
