CAUTION:  
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS  
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT  
UNIT!: This product, when installed as indicated in the  
instructions contained in this manual, meets FCC  
requirements. Modifications not expressly approved by  
Vocopro may void your authority, granted by the FCC,  
to use this product.  
1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this  
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.  
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from  
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,  
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, v  
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to  
rain and water.  
2. IMPORTANT: When connecting this product to  
accessories and/or another product use only high  
quality shielded cables. Cable(s) supplied with this  
product MUST be used. Follow all installation  
instructions. Failure to follow instructions could void your  
FCC authorization to use this product in the U.S.A.  
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.  
3. NOTE: This product has been tested and found to  
comply with the requirements listed in FCC Regulations,  
Part 15 for Class "B" digital devices. Compliance with  
these requirements provides a reasonable level of  
assurances that your use of this product in a residential  
environment will not result in harmful interference with  
other electronic devices. This equipment  
generates/uses radio frequencies and, if not installed  
and used according to the instructions found in the  
owner's manual, may cause interference harmful to the  
operation of other electronic devices. Compliance with  
FCC regulations does not guarantee that interference  
will not occur in all installations. If this product is found  
to be the source of interference, which can be  
determined by turning the unit "Off" and "On", please try  
to eliminate the problem by using one of the following  
measures:  
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the  
set, contact your dealer.  
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation.  
Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will cause the  
internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.  
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When  
moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently disconnect  
the power plug and the cords connecting to other  
equipment. Never pull the cord itself.  
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents:  
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.  
8. Be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" section on common  
operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.  
Relocate either this product or the device that is being  
affected by the interference.  
9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the  
power switch is turned off. We recommend that you unplug  
the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to  
be used for a long time. This will save electricity and help  
prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by  
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Use power outlets that are on different branch (circuit  
breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter(s).  
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient  
the antenna. If the antenna lead-in is 300-ohm ribbon  
lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.  
10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord  
and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.  
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory  
results, please contact your local retailer authorized to  
distribute Vocopro products. If you can not locate the  
appropriate retailer, please contact Vocopro, 1728  
Curtiss Court, La Verne, CA 91750.  
11. The general digital signals may interfere with other  
equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system  
farther away from such equipment if interference is  
observed.  
NOTE:  
Please check the copyright laws in your country  
before recording from records, compact discs,  
radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may  
infringe copyright laws.  
CAUTION  
Voltage Selector (General Model Only)  
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power

leave unit disconnected from the AC outlet for at least  
fifteen seconds.  
Be sure to position the voltage selector to match the  
voltage of your local power lines before installing the  
unit.

Listening for a lifetime  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical  
enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment  
offers. VocoPro and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to  
get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through  
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your  
sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing 'comfort level'adapts to a higher volume of sound. So  
what sounds 'normal' can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting  
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without  
distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we  
want you listening for a lifetime.  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing  
damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic  
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to  
excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.  
Some common decibel ranges:  
Level  
30  
Example  
Quiet library, Soft whispers  
Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic  
Light traffic, Normal Conversation  
Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine  
Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant  
Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.  
40  
50  
60  
70  
80  
The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:  
Level  
90  
100  
120  
140  
180  
Example  
Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower  
Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill  
Rock band concert in front of speakers  
Gunshot blast, Jet plane  
Rocket launching pad

Getting connected continued  
Connecting TVs/Monitors to the DA-8808VE  
The DA-8808VE has three VIDEO OUTPUT jacks which send video and/or decoded CD+G graphics patched  
from your players to TVs and other video monitor devices. This enables multiple TV configurations for per-  
formers to enjoy and KJs and VJs to program a set.  
1. Connect RCA style video cables from VIDEO OUTPUT jacks 1, 2 and 3 on the DA-8808VE to the VIDEO  
INPUT jack on your TV or other monitor. You may need to manually switch your TV to video mode, while  
some models automatically switch when a video signal is detected. On most TVs, the INPUT jack is labeled  
AUX or VIDEO.  
--If the TV does not have a VIDEO IN jack, you may be able to connect the video cable to the  
VIDEO INPUT of a VCR or DVD player and connect the RF OUTPUT on the VCR or DVD  
player to the TV ANTENNA INPUT jack.  
--If you do not have a VCR or DVD player, you will need to use an RF Modulator to make the  
adaption between jacks. RF Modulators are easy to find in the electronics section of many  
stores.

9. VOCAL CANCEL/VOCAL PARTNER - With Multiplex media, lead vocals and music are recorded in  
separate left and right stereo channels. When VOCAL CANCEL is selected, the LED will illuminate and the  
lead vocal channel will be removed, leaving only a duplicated instrumental track to left and right. When  
VOCAL PARTNER is pressed, LED will illuminate and the vocal track will only be activated while there is no  
microphone input. In other words, while the Karaoke singer is performing, the vocals will never drop entirely  
out, keeping the action going.

11. HIGH - Similar to a Treble control, this boosts the HIGH frequencies in your EQ, from 0 to 10.  
12. PROCESS - This control is similar to a Balance control for the EQ, where you can select between a mix  
predominantly “High end” mix and a bassier “Low end” mix.  
13. TUNE - This control allows you fine tune specific frequencies more precisely, by setting the lower cutoff  
frequency of the high-pass filter between 1kHz and 8kHz. Fortunately, you can still use it without under-  
standing what that means. The best way to use this control is by adjusting it while someone is singing into  
the microphone to find that “sweet spot” where the EQ sounds clean (not harsh, without distortion) and well-  
balanced.  
14. LOW - Similar to a Bass control, this boosts the LOW frequencies in your EQ, from 0 to 10.  
15. LOUDNESS ON/OFF - For an instant Volume/Gain, the LOUDNESS button is an easy way to improve  
your mix when you need an extra boost. Perfect for varying volume controls between tracks or singers.

MUSIC TONE controls  
16. BASS/TREBLE - The BASS control adjusts the low end of your source music and the TREBLE  
control adjusts the high end.  
17. BALANCE - This control determines the Left to Right stereo BALANCE between speaker outputs.  
18. REMOTE SENSOR - When operating the DA-8808VE with the Remote Control, direct the Remote  
towards this SENSOR within 23 feet. Maintain a line of sight between Remote and REMOTE SENSOR clear  
of obstacles to prevent signal deflection.  
DIGITAL ECHO  
19. DELAY - This control adjusts the length of time for each ECHO interval, or REPEAT. Rotating the  
DELAY control clockwise will increase the DELAY, creating the effect of more “space.”  
20. REPEAT - This control adjusts the number of ECHO repeats applied to the signal until the effect  
decays, or fades out.  
21. ECHO - This control is the overall level for the ECHO effect. Rotate clockwise to increase the amount of  
ECHO effect applied to the signal, and counter-clockwise to decrease.  
22. MIC TONE - The BASS control adjusts the low end of the microphone mix from MIC 1, 2  
and 3, while the TREBLE control adjusts the high end of the mix.  
23. MIC VOLUME - These level controls for MIC 1, 2 and 3 should be adjusted individually to get the best  
mix when multiple performers are singing. Rotate clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease  
VOLUME for each mic.  
24. MIC 1, 2, 3 INPUTS - Connect your 1/4” cabled microphones here.

Rear panel descriptions and functions  
1. RECORD OUT - These RCA output jacks are designed for connection to a recording device such as a  
cassette deck, CD burner or hard disc recorder. Output from the RECORD OUT jacks is line-level, so the  
MASTER VOLUME controls will not affect the output signal to your recording device.  
2. MIC OUT - Using these RCA output jacks, you can isolate your mic mix, without the source music  
audio input, for output to an external device.  
3. ECHO EFFECT ON/OFF - This switch will assign ECHO to the mic mix output through MIC OUT (#2).  
4. MIC INSERT - This jack is used for connection of an outboard processor such as a compressor using  
only a single 1/4” TRS (Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve = signal ground).  
5. WIRELESS INPUT - This input is dedicated for the output from wireless microphone systems.  
6. VIDEO INPUT - Connect the RCA style video output from your CDG, LD, and DVD player to the respec-  
tive jacks in this section.  
7. VIDEO OUTPUT - Connect RCA style video cables from these outputs to the video inputs of your TV or  
other video monitor device.  
8. VOLTAGE SELECTOR - Using this switch you can select between 120V and 240V power settings  
9. AC POWER OUTLET - This unswitched AC outlet is for providing power to an external device. NOTE:  
DO NOT CONNECT A DEVICE THAT IS DESIGNED FOR 240V USE OR HAS A POWER CONSUMPTION  
LEVEL HIGHER THAN 200W.

10. AUDIO INPUT - Use these inputs for connecting CD, CDG, LD, DVD or other players and other music  
sources using RCA cables. The labels here are for reference only. So, you can connect a cassette player to  
the LD input, for example, and get the same results.  
11. PRE OUTPUT - These jacks are designed for connection to external power amplifiers. Output signals  
from the PRE OUTPUT are sent before the DA-8808VE amplification stage. This allows you to power your  
speaker system from a separate amplifier rather than the speaker output from the DA-8808VE.  
12. EFFFECT LOOP - These jacks are necessary to carry the stereo signal for the DA-8808VE’s internal  
effects to left and right channel output. The 2 Loop Bars which are already installed in the EFFECT LOOP IN  
and OUT jacks of the DA-880VE allow the EFFECT LOOP to operate internally. However, if you wish to bypass  
the internal effects, these jacks enable you to connect external effects devices to the DA-8808VE in a stereo  
loop.  
If you prefer to connect external effects, use RCA cables to connect from the EFFECT LOOP OUT jack pic-  
tured here to your external effect unit EFFECT LOOP input, and then out from the component to the EFFECT  
LOOP IN of the DA-8808VE. This creates a continuous stereo loop.  
13. SPEAKERS OUTPUT A & B - You can connect up to 4 different speakers between SPEAKERS OUT-  
PUT A and B. Use ‘banana plug” style speaker cables for left and right of each pair. These can be powered  
simultaneously or in individual pairs using the SPEAKERS A/B buttons on the front panel (#7).  
14. AC POWER CABLE TERMINAL - Connect the included AC Power Cable here and the other end to an  
electrical outlet.  
15. FUSE - This plastic cover is the housing for the DA-880VE’s fuse. Use only FUSE type AC 6.3A, 250V  
when replacing the fuse.

5. VOCAL CANCEL/VOCAL PARTNER - With Multiplex media, lead vocals and music are  
recorded in separate left and right stereo channels. When the VOCAL CANCEL (VOC/C) button on the  
remote is selected, the LED will illuminate and the lead vocal channel will be removed, leaving a duplicated  
instrumental track to left and right only. When VOCAL PARTNER (VOC/P) is pressed, the LED will illuminate  
and the vocal track will only be activated only while there is no microphone input. In other words, while the  
Karaoke singer is performing, the vocals will never drop entirely out, keeping the action going.  
6. DIGITAL KEY CONTROL - You can adjust the key of your source music in half-step increments to match  
the natural range of your voice using the KEY CONTROL buttons on the remote control. To at (b) or lower  
the key, press the left KEY CONTROL button. To sharp (#) or raise the key, press the right button. To  
return to the original key of the music input source, press the center button. You will see the DIGITAL KEY  
DISPLAY reflect the number of steps you have increased or decreased displayed as numerals with +/-, or 0  
for the original key.

Advanced Operations  
Working with vocals using external effects devices  
Often, vocalists use external effects such as Echo, Reverb and Key Control. While enhancing vocals, these  
effects can also limit the signal’s sound quality. The DA-8808VE’s Vocal Enhancer can help “clean up” the vo-  
cal signal after effects have been applied.  
The frequency bandwidth of most vocals is approximately 300Hz - 6kHz. The DA-8808VE can improve  
the sound quality of frequencies across this range so that microphone input has a more natural and clean  
sound. Nuances of your vocals can be emphasized without affecting the overall sound. Since every voice is  
different, we recommend that you experiment with different settings to find the sound which best suits your  
preferences.

Vocal Enhancer  
Use of the Vocal Enhancer will increase your speaker system’s acoustic performance and its audible level in  
a room. This is particularly effective in environments with difficult acoustics. When using the DA-8808VE’s  
Vocal Enhancer, MIC MASTER VOLUME level may need to be adjusted as perceived  
volume increases.  
1. Connect a microphone with a 1/4” cable to MIC INPUT 1, 2 or 3.  
2. Select the VOCAL ENHANCER to the ON (in) position.  
3. Start with the HIGH, PROCESS, TUNE and LOW controls at their center positions.  
4. Adjust the HIGH and LOW clockwise or counterclockwise until you find a comfortable balance where they  
are both equally audible while neither is causing feedback or distortion of the signal.  
5. Now adjust the TUNE controls until you reach the desired cutoff frequency for the high-pass filter.  
Ultimately, you should be able to settle on a “sweet spot” frequency setting that improves the overall tone of  
your treble and bass without leaving either sounding harsh or dominant in the mix.  
6. For further fine tuning, think of the PROCESS control as an overall balance between HIGH, or treble (TOP)  
and LOW, or bass (BOTTOM). This is a largely a matter of preference, so you should experiment to find the  
PROCESS setting that best suits your ears.  
7. Try an ON/OFF comparison with the VOCAL ENHANCER to get a better idea for how it is improving your  
tone and to better acquaint yourself with the result of adjusting the controls .
