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. You've several ways to resolve the mismatch.
Most house system mixers should have one of the three options below. On the house system:
- Use the MIC/LINE or ATTENUATION switch to lower the input sensitivity to LINE LEVEL
- Use the input trim and lower the input sensitivity
- 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
- Use the T8S 1/4 Tip-Ring-Sleeve output
- Use a -20 dB attenuation Pad to between the T8S and the house system
On the house set system, set the input trim so you get a strong input signal without clipping. See the owners manual for the mixer for details.f
