T1 This information is applicable to the T1 ToneMatch® audio engine

You can use four microphones with a T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine even though there are only 3 XLR inputs. Channel 4/5 can be used if you have an impedance matching transformer. Note that if your microphone requires phantom power, then you will need to supply that too as there is no phantom power on T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine Channel 4/5.

Note: the phantom power supply is only required if your microphone requires phantom power (e.g. condenser microphone). Most dynamic microphones will not require you to use a phantom power supply.


Field Report:

I just tried this out.

Small diaphragm condenser microphone

external phantom power supply

a low to high impedance matching transformer for the microphone (click the picture for details)


to

T1® Channel 4/5

I had to turn the input trim higher on Channel 4/5 than when I plugged the microphone directly into Channel 1,2,3 - but it worked.

NOTE - you have to have the impedance matching transformer.
