TC HELICON / MIC MECHANIC 2

This is the successor to the ""Mic Mechanic"" vocal effects processor, which featured echo, reverb, and pitch correction! It boasts improved usability and now supports automatic microphone gain and battery operation.

■Compact Vocal Effects Processor

■Tone/Pitch Correction

■Reverb, Echo

■Studio-Quality Reverb

The reverb effect utilizes the algorithm used in TC-Helicon's flagship ""VoiceLive"" series, providing subtle spatial depth with simple operation.

■Delay

A wide range of delay styles are possible, from crisp slapback echo to spacious long delay. Equipped with a tap tempo function that allows you to set the delay time according to the tempo of the song.

■Perfect Pitch

Features an automatic chromatic pitch correction function that automatically adjusts the pitch of your voice to the nearest chromatic note. Provides natural pitch correction without any unnaturalness.

■Adaptive Tone Function to Optimize Vocal Tone

Mic Mechanic listens to your voice and automatically applies optimal EQ, compression, de-esser, and noise gate processing.

■Mic Control Function Compatible

The Mic Mechanic is compatible with the TC-Helicon MP-85 (sold separately), a supercardioid handheld microphone with Mic Control functionality. This allows you to turn effects on and off via the microphone, even from a distance.

・Tap tempo function that allows you to set the echo tempo by tapping the footswitch in time with the rhythm

・Tone button combining adaptive EQ, compressor, de-esser, and gate

・Natural automatic chromatic pitch correction function

・Easy connection to standard microphones and mixers

・Phantom power compatible (always on, measured value: approx. 21V)

・Remote On/Off operation of effects with the separately sold MP-85 microphone

・Automatic microphone gain function

■Power Supply: 9VDC adapter (adapter sold separately/PowerPlug 9), 4 x AA batteries

■Procedure for using the MP-85's MIC CONTROL function

Connect the dedicated microphone ""TC HELICON/MP-85"" and turn on the power switch while holding down the footswitch on the unit. Switching between tap tempo and normal effect ON-OFF function is done by pressing and holding the switch on the unit for 2 seconds. This also applies to the microphone side; you can switch the controllable mode by pressing and holding the switch for 2 seconds.

*The output is balanced microphone level. Always connect to the XLR microphone input terminal using an XLR female-to-XLR male microphone cable. Connecting to a TS/TRS phone line input terminal will result in noise, insufficient volume, and increased noise when the gain is increased, preventing normal use.

*When connecting to a mixer or similar device, please turn off the phantom power of the connected device to prevent malfunction.


*The phantom power supplied by the effects unit is approximately +21V (measured value), so condenser microphones requiring +48V cannot be used.
