Mounting to a mic stand
MountinG to a Mic stand
Mic stand setup
1. With no cables attached to the product, grasp it on both sides so
the printed top faces you and is approximately level.
2. Slide VoiceLive Touch2 to the left so that the upper shaft of your
mic stand is captured by the lower slot on the product (see Figure1).
3. Slowly but firmly lower the front of the product so the serrated
slot fully captures the mic stand shaft (see Figure2). You’ll feel initial
resistance, then the shaft should snap in and seat tightly.
Removal is the reverse: Lift the front of the product so it snaps free of
the mic stand shaft, then slide to the right to remove it from the stand.
Note that the diameter oft the mic stand should not exceed 16.5 mm.
Cabling
The horizontal mounting slot on VoiceLive Touch2 is also used to collect your cables. As shown in the graphic below, cables can be threaded
through the slot. Use the provided cable wrap to tie your cables neatly
to your mic stand.

connections
1. Mic Input: Balanced, low impedance XLR input for your mic.
2. XLR Output: Will produce a mono signal.
3. Guitar Ground Lift: Tap this to assist with hum reduction.
4. 1/4” TRS Outputs: These are the main outputs. They can be
configured for Mono, Dual Mono or Stereo output in the Setup
menu.
5. Guitar Input and Thru: Connect your guitar to the high Z (im-
pedance) In jack directly using a 1/4” cable. If you use effect pedals,
these pedals should be connected after VoiceLive Touch2. Connect
the Guitar Thru jack on VoiceLive Touch2 to your first effect pedal
or to your amplifier/PA using a 1/4” cable. If you leave the Thru jack
unconnected, the sound from your guitar will be mixed into the
main output of VoiceLive Touch2.
6. Aux Input: You can connect an external stereo device (such as an
MP3 player) to this jack to add its signal to the main mix. No effects
are applied to the audio signal from this input.
7. MIDI Input: Connect the MIDI Out of a keyboard, audio worksta-
tion or MIDI sequencer to the MIDI input of the VoiceLive Touch2
to control harmony and select presets.
8. Power Adaptor Input: Connect the factory-supplied power
adaptor here. There is no power switch on VoiceLive Touch2 –
applying power automatically turns it on.
9. USB Connector: You can connect VoiceLive Touch2 to a com-
puter to update the device’s firmware and for transferring audio
and MIDI signals. Note that the USB connection does not provide
power for the unit.
10. Footswitch Input: Allows connection of a TC-Helicon Switch 3
footswitch. This footswitch can be set to control several useful functions in the Setup menu. This requires a 3 conductor (TRS) cable.
11. Input Level Control: Adjust this knob while you sing so that the
middle, orange LED lights on your loudest singing. The red LED
should not light.
12. Headphone Output: Connect standard 1/8” stereo headphones
here.
