The T8S ToneMatch mixer XLR outputs are LINE LEVEL. If the house system XLR inputs are MIC LEVEL, the signal will be too hot. You've several ways to resolve the mismatch.


Preferred approaches

  • 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 the T8S 1/4 Tip-Ring-Sleeve output
    • Use a -20 dB attenuator pad to between the T8S and the house system
