Evolution rather than revolution

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it: The concept behind the first EN-VOICE® was a stunning success,
so we didn’t change it. Rather than radical redesign, the new design features are the product
of painstaking detailing, particularly in response to our customers’ wishes and suggestions for
improvement. So, how does the successor differ from the first EN-VOICE®? The handling con-
cept, equalizer and revolutionary tube circuitry have remained the same, though the circuitry
has seen some design improvements. The input section, however, was developed anew from
the bottom up and now offers an integrated balanced INSERT, while the compressor now
features eight convenient presets. In addition to redesigning the front panel, we improved
the array and labeling of control features, and endowed the chassis with easily attachable
rack mounts to desktop-enable the device.

Independence Day
The EN-VOICE® MK II is the first channel strip that is a match for laptops when it comes to
mobility. Road-ready courtesy of its USB and automatic switched mode power supply, it goes
where you go, operating reliably when you get there. Though the USB interface is now as
commonplace on the computer as jacks on a mixer, unfortunately, no USB interface to date
has been able to transmit the EN-VOICE® MK II’s sonic qualities loss-free. Thanks to some pio-
neering engineering, this problem has been solved with the optional DI-MOD USB. A further
stride toward total independence is the automatic switched mode power supply, which frees
the EN-VOICE® MK II from the constraints of local mains voltage and protects it against fluc-
tuating current and power surges.
The power unit even enhances tone: Tubes are very sensitive to line voltage fluctuations.
This unit maintains a steady power supply of 250 volts, preventing sound degradation
caused by fluctuating current.

1. Input Section
The EN-VOICE® MK II features a complete input
section consisting of a studio level line input,
a high-ohm instrument input and a low-noise
microphone input with switchable phantom
power for condenser microphones. You can also
retrofit a digital input by installing the DI-MOD
expansion module.
1.1 Microphone Input
Connecting microphones:
On the rear panel of the EN-VOICE® MK II you’ll
find an XLR port for connecting microphones.
It is designed to accept all types of microphones.
Connect condenser microphones to the switcha-
ble 48-volt phantom power port on the front
panel. The EN-VOICE® MK II offers switchable 20-
dB signal dampening for recording very loud
signals. The input impedance is 5 k-ohms.
Handling:
INPUT SELECT: Select the microphone input by
setting the INPUT SELECT button to the MIC
position.
MIC GAIN: Determines the pre-amplification
level within a range of +19 dB to +75 dB.
48 V: Activates phantom power when switched
from the OFF position to the 48V position.
-20 dB: Cuts input levels by 20 dB when switched
from OFF to -20 dB.
CAUTION:
Do not connect line level devices to the microphone
port because this may damage the EN-VOICE® MK II.
Never activate phantom power when unbalanced
microphones or ribbon microphones are connected!
QUESTION
At 10 k-ohms, the microphone input’s impedance is
considerably higher than that of standard micropho-
ENGLISH
ne preamps. Why did MindPrint choose to deviate
from the standard value range of 600 to 1000 ohms?
ANSWER
Rather than being constant, the impedance of micro-
phones depends on the frequency. It is not uncom-
mon for impedance spikes to surge up to 1,000 ohms
within microphones’ frequency response range. These
peaks are cut if the microphone preamp’s input
impedance is lower, which of course automatically
changes frequency response. Because these peaks
tend to occur at higher frequencies, this de facto
auto dampening of low-impedance preamp sacrifices
brilliance. Courtesy of its high-impedance design, the
EN-VOICE® MK II can handle extreme peaks, preven-
ting high frequency loss. This ensures microphones,
and particularly dynamic microphones, deliver a
fresher, more natural-sounding signal.
Condenser microphones also sound better because
their amps can operate with a lower load, thereby
generating less noise.

Handling: in an instrument rack.
INPUT SELECT: Select the instrument input by
setting the INPUT SELECT button to LINE/INSTR.
When you plug a cord into the INSTRUMENT IN
jack, the EN-VOICE® MK II automatically switches
to the instrument input, simultaneously deactiva-
ting the line and digital inputs.

LINE GAIN: Determines the amount of cut or

boost within a range of -∞ to +22 dB.

1.3 Line Input

Connecting line sources:
Located on the rear panel of the EN-VOICE® MK II,
the line input features two connectors, a balanced
XLR port and a balanced 1/4" jack. You can also
connect unbalanced cables to both inputs.
Handling:
INPUT SELECT: Select the line input by setting
the INPUT SELECT button to LINE/INSTR. It is
only active when the INSTRUMENT input is not
in use!
INFO
The XLR port’s pin assignments comply with the
international IEC 268-12 norm. In accordance with
this norm, pin 1 is the ground, pin 2 carries the posi-
tive signal and pin 3 the negative signal. Be sure to
bridge pin 1 and pin 3 when using an unbalanced
circuit. The stereo 1/4" jack’s tip carries the positive
signal, its ring carries the negative signal, and the
ground circuit is routed via the sleeve. When you
insert an unbalanced mono plug, the input automati-
cally switches to unbalanced operating mode.

LINE GAIN: Determines the amount of cut or

boost within a range of -∞ to +22 dB.

1.4 Digital Input
Connecting digital sources:
The MindPrint DI-MOD can be installed into a
slot in the rear panel, which lets you connect
digital devices to the EN-VOICE® MK II. You’ll find
the digital interface’s connectors on the actual
DI-MOD. The digital output is wired in parallel to
the analog output.
Handling:
INPUT SELECT: Select the digital input by setting
the INPUT SELECT button to DIGITAL.
LINE GAIN: Determines the amount of cut or
boost within a range of -00 to +22 dB.
1.5 Selecting LED Meter
Modes
This LED meter indicates the level of the input or
output signal, depending on the METER ASSIGN
button’s setting. The yellow LEDs indicate the
EN-VOICE® MK II’s headroom; the red LEDs indi-
cate the saturation level.
Handling:
METER ASSIGN: Switches the level meter so that
it indicates either the input or output signal. For
the record, the meter indicates the input signal
when set to INPUT, and the output signal when
set to OUTPUT.
Optional DI-MOD
If you want to make the most of the sound quality
that the EN-VOICE® MK II has to offer, be sure to
install the DI-MOD. You can view the various models
of DI-MOD at www.mindprint.com
QUESTION
Why is the digital interface not hard-wired into the
device?
ANSWER
The EN-VOICE® MK II is an analog device, and as such
will continue to serve its designated purpose for years
to come. Digital interfaces are subject to change as
digital technology advances. This is why the DI-MOD
is replaceable. Besides, this lets you decide for your-
self which model serves your purposes best.

1.6 Low-Cut Filter

Following the input stage in the signal path is a
(bass cut) filter. Its limiting frequency of 80 Hz
suppresses low-frequency noise such as footsteps
or popping sounds.

Handling:
LOW CUT: Activates the filter.

1.7 Insert INFO

Connecting signal processors:
On the rear panel, you’ll find SEND and a
RETURN jacks enabling you to insert signal pro-
cessors into the EN-VOICE® MK II’s signal path.
These connectors are configured as stereo 1/4" jacks.
The positive signal is routed via the tip, the negative
signal via the ring, and the ground via the sleeve.
When you insert an unbalanced mono plug, the
input automatically switches to unbalanced operating
mode.

Handling:
When you plug a cord into the RETURN jack, the
EN-VOICE® MK II automatically patches the insert
into the signal path at a point located between
the low-cut-filter and the equalizer.

2. Equalization
The equalizer consists of one each semi-parame-
tric band for low and high frequencies as well as
one fully parametric middle frequency band.
All three EQ bands were implemented in the
form of bell filters.

value, it is compressed at the ratio that you have
dialed in. Even when compressed heavily, signals
are gently squeezed rather than crushed when
the signal rises above the threshold.
Handling:
ON: Activates the compressor.
THRESHOLD: Sets the compressor’s threshold
within a range of +2 dB to -28 dB.
The compressor processes all signals whose level
exceeds the threshold value. Depending on the
defined threshold value, the signal may also be
boosted before it is routed to the tube. Signals
whose levels remain below the threshold value
are not processed.
RATIO: Determines the relationship between – or

exceeding the threshold value. Control range:
1:1 (no compression) to infinite (limiter setting-
the output level cannot be increased any further).
GAIN REDUCTION LED CHAIN: Gives you a
visual indication of the amount that the com-
pressor is trimming off the signal level.
TUBE SATURATION %: Controls the amount of
tube saturation within the compressor for all
signals exceeding the threshold value. This lets
you determine precisely the amount of harmonic
overtones that tube saturation generates.
The control range extends from 0% to 100%.
10
A WORD ABOUT THE TUBE
The overtones that tubes generate when driven hard
are what makes them so special. While semiconduc-
tors tend to produce harsh, grating distortion, tubes
deliver warm, silken sound that is considered highly
desirable by recordists. Though all-tube circuits deli-
ver a warmer sound, they also have some drawbacks;
for example, they are noisier than solid state circuits.
In the EN-VOICE® MK II, the tube is hard-wired to a
VCA (short for voltage-controlled amplifier, this is the
compressor’s controlling element). Courtesy of this
VCA, the compressor’s response helps shape the tone
generated by the tube. This puts into your hands a
compressor that combines the trademark precision
of a semiconductor circuit with the characteristic
response of all-tube devices. Model 12AX7A tubes are
triodes that are valued for their sonic qualities and
used in many other devices. The popularity of this
model has an agreeable side effect - when a tube
requires a replacement, 12AX7A’s are easy to find
and affordably priced.
BIAS POINT
The threshold value depends on the input level and
equalizer levels. For example, if you turn the input
level well down, you must adjust the Threshold level
accordingly.
LEVEL REDUCTION
A Ratio setting of 2:1 means that the output level
increases by just 1 dB when the input level rises by
2 dB; 5:1 means that it takes a 5 dB boost in input level
to increase the output level by 1 dB. Note that you
don’t have to reduce the gain manually because the
EN-VOICE MK II adjusts the overall level automatically.
TUBE SATURATION
A good analogy for tube saturation is the behavior of
a guitar string. Both generate a fundamental frequen-
cy and a series of harmonics. In the case of the string,
harmonics are the frequencies produced by half the
string, a third, a quarter and so forth. In both cases,
the relative levels of harmonics are decisive in sha-
ping tone. It takes the right mix to create a signal
that pleases the human ear.
INFO
High-energy low-frequency signals can cause the
compressor to generate undesirable pumping effects.
For this reason, the compressor is equipped with a fil-
ter designed to make it is less responsive to low fre-
quencies, yielding the kind of natural-sounding com-
pression our ears are accustomed to hearing. Because
this design simulates a natural function of the human
ear, this filter circuit enhances the tone of almost
every signal.
EnVoice_Manual_1.1 15.10.2003
MindPrint ® EN-VOICE ® MK II
9:15 Uhr Seite 11
TUBE SAT: Indicates the degree of distortion in
threes levels - green, yellow and red. Overtones
are hardly audible when the meter is in the
green. When in the yellow, saturation is clearly
audible. When in the red, you will hear overtones
as distortion.
FILTER: Switches the compressor’s side chain
filter on. When the filter is activated, lower
frequencies have less influence on compression,
which yields a more balanced sonic image,
particularly in the mid and high frequency ranges.
Because the filter is wired into the control circuitry
rather than the signal path, it influences the
compressor’s response rather than the actual
sound of the signal.
Type: low-cut, shelving
Corner frequency: 300 Hz
Slope: 6 dB/octave
COMPRESSION MODE: Selects eight presets for
the compressor’s program-dependent control
time tracking.
Adaptive Response Circuit
The EN-VOICE® MK II is equipped with an Adaptive
Response circuit developed by MindPrint®. It works
with several mutually influencing time constants,
using an intelligent attack and release automatism to
prevent undesirable side effects. The default control
time changes adaptively so that the compressor
responds faster to brief signals and slower to sustai-
ned signals. A standard compressor’s response to
dense, powerful audio material is to cut signal peaks
radically, which results in a pumping effect. This
adaptive circuit offers an additional mechanism that
catches fast impulses regardless of the basic compres-
sor setting.
INFO
The differences between presets are most clearly
audible at low Threshold and high Ratio settings.
The easiest way to find the best setting is to twist
these two knobs to the far right and gradually back
them off until you achieve the desired effect. Setting
the knobs to the 12-clock position generally yields
inconspicuous results. If you want a more pronounced
effect, turn the Threshold down (twist the knob
ENGLISH
clockwise!) and then adjust the Ratio knob.

4.1 OUTPUT
Connecting outboard gear:
The balanced XLR output serves as a recording
out for connected recording systems, mixers or
external converters. The balanced 1/4” jack output
is an analog monitor output. The two outputs
may be used simultaneously.
Handling:
OUTPUT: Determines output volume within
a range of -∞ to +8 dB. Unity gain is achieved
at the 0 setting.
4.2 BYPASS
Handling:
BYPASS: Removes all of the EN-VOICE® MK II’s
processing components and the Output knob
from the signal path.
5. AC Power
The EN-VOICE® MK II is connected to a wall outlet
or mains supply via a standard power cable con-
nected to the AC power socket.
If you encounter a ground loop, you can use the
Ground Lift switch to sever the signal ground
from the device's chassis ground. A ground loop
is pretty easy to identify - the device emits
annoying hum. In this case, set this switch to the
position where the noise is canceled out.
INFO
If you insert an unbalanced cord equipped with 1/4”
plugs into the output, say to connect a monitoring
system, the signal patched to the XLR port will also
be unbalanced. If you have no choice but to use an
unbalanced monitor signal but require a balanced
signal from the XLR port, you can employ a standard
unbalanced 1/4” jack cord for your monitor and solder
a stereo 1/4” jack plug to the end of cord end to be
inserted into the EN-VOICE® MK II’s output. Do not
wire a terminal to the RING. The TIP carries the signal,
the SLEEVE is the ground, and the signal of the XLR
socket remains balanced.
TIP
As described in section 1.5 Selecting LED Meter
Modes, you can assign the level meter to the input
oroutput. This means that the meter indicates either
the post preamp level or the output level of the
EN-VOICE® MK II.
CAUTION
Depending on settings, there may be a considerable
difference in the levels of the processed and original
ENGLISH
signals. BYPASS serves principally to A/B or compare
the processed and original signals. If you want to use
the Output knob as an “alternative” volume control,
it is a good idea to switch off the individual proces-
sing stages for purposes of comparison.

6 Tips and Tricks

6.1 Switching noise
All of the EN-VOICE® MK II On buttons are real
hardware switches. This means that, rather than
just being deactivated, the processing stages are
actually removed from the signal path. While
removing unnecessary stages from the circuit
enhances audio quality, these switches sometimes
cause undesirable clicking or popping noises,
which are produced by sudden surges in ampli-
tude. Your best bet is to forget about switching
individual equalizer bands or the entire effects
chain on and off during recording or processing
with the EN-VOICE® MK II.

6.2 Over-the-top distortion

The tube compressor acts upon all signals that lie
above the threshold value. Moreover, the satura-
tion of the tube will fluctuate depending on how
high the signal level is. To keep the saturation
fairly even, the compressor should be used to
keep the signal level as steady as possible. If you
dial in a low threshold value and a high satura-
tion level, the tube will be driven hard enough
to produce fairly heavy distortion at signal peaks.
In this case, you should increase the compression
ratio to reduce these signal peaks. If you don't
want quite this much signal processing, you
should dial in lower threshold and saturation
values.

6.3 The EN-VOICE® MK II

in Live Applications
Although the EN-VOICE® MK II was primarily
developed for recording purposes, it actually
wears many hats - you'll find that it is an excellent
tool for live applications. If you are the proud
owner of a guitar rack system, you can patch it
in post-preamp and pre-power amp to compress
your instrument's signal. When you play gigs that
you can't be bothered to tote your entire rig to,
simply plug your guitar into the instrument input
and feed the output signal directly to the mixing
console; the EN-VOICE® MK II thus becomes a con-
venient tube DI box. For processing vocals, you
can patch the EN-VOICE® MK II into a mixer insert
just as you would an effects device, so that the
amplified sound of your voice enjoys the benefits
of those desirable tube characteristics.

• In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti dell’involucro, a meno che
non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano, possono venire alla luce parti
dell’apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.
• Se l’apertura dell’apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispensabile staccare
precedentemente quest’ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensione. Rispettare tale misura di
prevenzione anche prima di un allineamento, di operazioni di manutenzione, della messa in
esercizio o della sostituzione di componenti all’interno dell’apparecchio.
• Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni dell’apparecchio in pre-
senza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente da personale specializzato ed autorizzato,
in grado di eseguire tali operazioni evitandone i rischi connessi.
• Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036 (vedi illustrazione 1 a
fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione pericolosa con cui evitare il contatto. Per
questo motivo, prima di accendere l’apparecchio, collegare quest’ultimo agli altoparlanti
servendosi esclusivamente del cavetto d’allacciamento indicato dal produttore.
• Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati all’involucro
dell’apparecchio per quanto possibile.
• Tutti i fusibili di sicurezza vanno sostituiti esclusivamente con fusibili del tipo prescritto e
valore della corrente nominale indicato.
• L’utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito del sostegno di
