This article is about using a Mixer to allow more than one input per Compact channel to use [[ToneMatch®|ToneMatch® Presets]].

=== Assumptions ===
* You have more than two inputs requiring presets.
* Two or more of those inputs are similar, for example: microphones that are of the same make and model.
* You have a stereo mixer or one that has two distinct busses.

=== General Principles ===
For the following discussion, a "side" of the mixer is either Left or Right, or it could be a "buss" or "alt" channel routing.
* Pool all microphone inputs to one side of the mixer (e.g. LEFT). 
** Take the pooled output (LEFT output the mixer) to  Compact Channel 1 (built-in Preset is Handheld Vocal Microphone)
	
* Pool all other inputs to the other side of the mixer (e.g. RIGHT)  

If these inputs are not acoustic guitars with pickups run the mixer RIGHT output to Compact Channel 2 with the ToneMatch switch set to Line Level (down).
* Take the pooled output (the other side of the mixer) to  Power Stand Channel 2 and use a Preset that is appropriate for the input, or Preset 00.
** Take the pooled output (RIGHT output the mixer) to  Compact Channel 2 
** If the inputs are acoustic guitars with pickups set the ToneMatch switch ON (up position)
** If the inputs are NOT acoustic guitars with pickups set the ToneMatch switch to Line Level(down position)
	
=== Example ===
==== 2 Vocals, 2 Guitars ====
* You have two vocal microphones.  Route these through the mixer to Compact Channel 1 
* You have two similar Acoustic Guitars with pickups.  Route these through the mixer to Compact Channel 2 with ToneMatch switch on (UP).
