Get Your Feet Wet

1 Connect the Aura’s ¼” Output or XLR Output to your amplifier or mixer

input.

2 Connect your acoustic instrument to the Input jack on the rear panel.

3 Connect the recommended adapter to the 9VDC input to power up the

Aura (see Controls and Connections, Rear Panel, 9VDC). Keep the

volume down on your amplifier or mixer to avoid a loud pop that could

damage your speakers (or your ears!).

4 Play your instrument aggressively and adjust the Input Level until the

adjacent LED (yellow) flickers regularly and the red LED does not light

up at all.

5 Set Edit/Play switch to Play.

6 Raise the Output Level to a comfortable volume.

7 Browse Through The Different Sound Image / Pickup Mixes

Use the Up and Down footswitches or the Data control to scroll

through programs 01-16 and find a Sound Image/pickup mix that

matches well with your instrument.

The Aura comes with 16 factory-loaded digital “Sound Images” that

correspond to a popular variety of acoustic guitars and microphone

combinations. To help you identify the instrument, pickup and

microphone associated with each program number, see to the Quick

Reference Card included with this manual.

Jump In the Deep End

Once you find a Sound Image that you would like to use with your

instrument, you can correct the phase, insert the Feedback Cancel circuit,

blend the Sound Image with your pickup and apply equalization or

compression. The changes you select can then be applied to the programs

that reside in the Play mode.

1 Start with the Edit/Play switch in the Play position, and choose a

Sound Image/pickup mix in one of the program locations (between 01

and 16). Make note of the program number in the display.

2 Flip the Edit/Play switch to Edit. Select the Parameter you’d like to

change (example; Blend) and adjust it with the Data knob. You can

make adjustments to any of the 11 Parameters, as long as you stay in

the Edit mode.

Once you make your adjustments, simply flip the Edit/Play switch

back to Play. You now have committed these changes to that program

location. Additional tweaks can also be made at any time, by returning

to this same program location and repeating the above directions.

3 Unless you want to start building duplicate programs in different

locations, do not experiment with the Select parameter just yet. Please

be patient, and read on ....

TIP: Always start with the Edit/Play switch in the Play position, and

select your program number before you switch over to the Edit mode.

This way you will avoid inadvertently altering a program that you've

already set up.

RESET: If you get in too deep, too quickly, you can easily return all

the programs to their original factory settings with these 3 easy

steps:

1 Unplug the 9VDC adapter from the back of the Aura.

2 Hold down the two outside footswitches and insert the power

plug into the unit.

3 Continue to hold down the outside footswitches until the

prompt appears in the LED display.
