Aux Inputs

The T4S (5/6) and T8S (9/10) Aux Inputs, are routed directly to the Master Output buss.

We cannot route them to different channels or Aux outputs. You can control Pan and Level sent through to Master.

There's no other processing available (e.g. Presets, EQ, Effects).

Comparison to T1® ToneMatch audio engine

Note
The T4S/T8S ToneMatch® Mixers are compatible with the L1 Pro System[1]s (announced October 2020).

The T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine requires two connections to the L1 Pro System[1]s: one for power, one for audio. Please see: T1 Compatibility With L1 Pro Systems
