YVC-1000 WITH PA SYSTEM

SETUP GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

We have been shifted from conventional on-site conferences to new styles where we have on-site lessons, seminars, and meetings while delivering them online to remote locations as well (Hybrid meetings). For successful meetings, both on-site and online sound must have enough volume and clarity. Are you satisfied with the sound of your current system? Or are you looking for a system that can be easily set up and covers both online and on-site meetings?

Just by adding the “YVC-1000” microphone & speaker system and/or a few more devices such as external speakers, a mixing console, and microphones to your current system, you will be able to hold seminars in a large space while streaming online without any other specialized equipment. This document introduces solutions and how to set up such systems to satisfy the demands of a Hybrid environment.

STEP 3. Setting up Devices and Making Adjustments

Setting up for connection between the YVC-1000 and the STAGEPAS 1K

To use the YVC-1000 with the STAGEPAS 1K, the settings of the YVC-1000 need to be changed using the “YVC-1000

Configurator” application software.

The software is available for both Windows or Mac. However, this document explains the procedure using the Windows version.

2 Use the LEVEL control to adjust the input channel’s volume so that the input channel outputs at a similar volume level to the sound from remote locations.

3 Use the MONITOR control to adjust the sound volume of the external microphone sent to remote locations.

4 Adjust each sound volume using the STAGEPAS 1K when necessary.

NOTICE

The microphone muting function of the YVC-1000 works for all the microphones connected to it by default. If you have microphones connected directly to the YVC-1000, muting one of the tabletop microphones mutes all the microphones - including those being fed to the Audio IN port on the YVC-1000. In this scenario the result will be that no sound will be sent to remote locations when mute is enabled from either the Control Unit or an extension microphone.

If you want to mute/unmute your feed from the STAGEPAS separately, then set “MICROPHONE MUTE” on the “USB” tab to “NO

SYNC”.
