Commenting on TC-Helicon's venture into the live monitor market, CEO Kevin Alexander, states: "The availability of VoiceSolo marks a turning point where singers can enjoy being in control and hearing themselves just as other instrumentalists with amps have been for years. VoiceSolo monitors are compact, easy to set up and most importantly, they cut through the mix so your can hear great vocals."
The VoiceSolo monitors employ a custom designed true point source driver to reproduce the human voice in the most intelligible and natural way. The rugged cast aluminum enclosure offers multiple mounting options using intelligently designed adapters that make setup with standard microphone stands a simple and quick task. The VSM-200 and VSM-300 are equipped with a 150W BASH amplifier, volume control and mic/line input. In addition, the VSM-300 comes with a high quality I/O box with Mic In, Stereo Instrument, Aux, and splits as well as front mounted personal mix controls including the SHAPE tone circuit that provides studio microphone tone to a typical live microphone.
TC-Helicon has also introduced the latest VoiceDoubler Software 1.2, which features new factory presets including three in-ear monitoring presets that assist in solving the problem of a singer's voice sounding like it's inside his/her head. The new In-Ear Monitoring presets use micro pitch and time shifts to put the voice in a stereo field, helping to eliminate the cranial resonance of a singer's direct voice that tends to be unpleasant to listen to. The new software also includes improved emulations of classic doubling presets.
