TC-Helicon VoiceLive Play GTX to Compact
The VoiceLive Play GTX has two outputs available (Vocal and Guitar) but I choose the LEFT output and run MONO so that I can make the connection with one cable. I don't use Compact Channel 1 when I'm using the VoiceLive Play GTX.
I prefer to use an adapter (XLR to ¼ inch jack) from the VoiceLive Play GTX left out - to Compact Channel 2. That way you don't have to work around the Compact's internal microphone Preset.
There's MIX button on the VoiceLive Play GTX that brings up a screen where it's easy to control the relative volumes. Vocal volume is set. You can raise and lower the other inputs on the VoiceLive Play GTX. {{{TCH Additional Note}}}. And it's nice to use just one cable from the VoiceLive Play GTX to the Compact. This also keeps the Compact Channel 1 free in case I need to plug in another microphone.
I use an adapter like this
| Neutrik NA3FJ XLR to ¼ inch jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve female | or | Planet Waves XLR female to ¼ inch jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve female |
|
|
|
WITH
| Balanced ¼ inch jack Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable | or | Unbalanced ¼ inch jack Tip-Sleeve cable |
|
|
|
OR a longer version of a cable like this:
