About this listing
The Radial Voco-Loco is in fact a studio quality preamp that has been
carefully disguised as a foot pedal! One look at the linear frequency
response, exceptional signal handling and low noise and you will
recognize the studio quality that is built-in. This ensures that the dry
microphone signal will be delivered to the PA system without distortion
or artefact and faithfully reproduce the instrument or vocal without
compromise. A carefully crafted 2-band EQ makes adjusting the tone
effortless. Turning on the effects loop adds transformer isolation to
reduce hum and buzz caused by ground loops, a common problem that
plagues many pedal setups. Once the loop is brought back, a tone control
lets you tame the effects signal and a dry-wet mix control lets you
balance the signal to suit.
*48 Volt Phantom Power
Although 48 volts is often specified, truth is, it is not always
present or needed. In fact most condenser microphones are designed to
work from 12 volts to 52 volts, many of which will also work on a simple
1.5 volt battery. The reason high voltage is used to charge condenser
mics in PA systems is that in enables the condenser microphone to be
positioned 200 meters (600 feet) away from the mixing console.
Considering the Voco-Loco will likely be used near the musician with a 3
or 6 meter (10′ or 20′) mic cable, the high voltage is simply not
needed. The Voco-Loco actually generates 40 volts phantom, not 48 volts.
We chose to do this in order to reduce a power stage which could add
noise. We have tested a wide range of popular stage and studio
microphones and in all cases, the results were excellent.
