ToneMatch® Presets This article is about using a Mixer to allow more than two inputs to use ToneMatch® Presets.

Assumptions

  • You have more than two inputs requiring presets.
  • Two or more of those inputs are similar, for example: microphones that are of the same make and model.
  • You have a stereo mixer or one that has two distinct busses.

General Principles

For the following discussion, a "side" of the mixer is either Left or Right, or it could be a "buss" or "alt" channel routing.

  • Pool one group of similar inputs to one side of the mixer.
  • Take the pooled output (one side of the mixer) to Power Stand Channel 1 and use a Preset that is appropriate for the input.
  • Pool another group of similar inputs to the other side of the mixer. Sometimes the similarity is that these inputs do not share a common Preset - so you will use Preset 00.
  • Take the pooled output (the other side of the mixer) to Power Stand Channel 2 and use a Preset that is appropriate for the input, or Preset 00.

Examples

2 Vocals, 2 Guitars

You have two vocal microphones - Shure SM 58 - Recommended Preset #14 You have two similar Acoustic Guitars with pickups - Recommended Preset #40

Connections

Microphones
  1. Run both microphones to the mixer.
  2. On the input strips for the microphones pan all the way to the LEFT
  3. Run the Mixer LEFT output to the Power Stand Channel 1
  4. Set the preset to #14
Guitars
  1. Run both Guitars to the mixer.
  2. On the input strips for the Guitars pan all the way to the RIGHT
  3. Run the Mixer RIGHT output to the Power Stand Channel 2
  4. Set the preset to #40


Vocals, 1 Guitar, 1 Electric Bass

You have three vocal microphones - Audix OM5 - Recommended Preset #05 You have an Acoustic Guitars and an Electric Bass through a processor. There is no preset appropriate for both, so you will share Preset #00

Connections

Microphones
  1. Run all three microphones to the mixer.
  2. On the input strips for the microphones pan all the way to the LEFT
  3. Run the Mixer LEFT output to the Power Stand Channel 1
  4. Set the preset to #05
Guitar and Electric Bass
  1. Run the Guitar and Bass to the mixer.
  2. On the input strips for the Guitar and Bass pan all the way to the RIGHT
  3. Run the Mixer RIGHT output to the Power Stand Channel 2
  4. Set the preset to #00
