The T8S ToneMatch mixer XLR outputs are LINE LEVEL. If the house system mixer XLR inputs are MIC LEVEL, the T8S ToneMatch mixer signal from the XLR outputs will be too hot. There are several ways to get a better match for the levels.
On the house system
Most house system mixers should have one of the three options below.
- Use the input trim and lower the input sensitivity
On the house set system, set the input trim so you get a strong input signal without clipping. See the owners manual for the house mixer for details. - Use the MIC/LINE or ATTENUATION switch to lower the input sensitivity to LINE LEVEL
- Use the 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve LINE LEVEL input
Use an XLR to 1/4 inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve converter
