TRS Jack Mic Doesnt indicate any sound

Watch your impedance, when you add speakers the impedance will change. example 8 ohm speaker placed in parallel with another 8 ohm speaker the impedance is 4 ohms, placed in series the it is 16 ohm Me I would place in parallel this mixer should handle 3 ohms

IF your Laptop has a stereo LINE 1/8" INPUT jack, you can take the Stereo ( Left & Right ) LINE outputs on your mixer and feed into this jack on your PC. You will need a 1/4" dual plug for the mixer end to a single 1/8" stereo plug on the PC end. I suspect the problem you are having is either related to your PC only have a MIC input jack or you have something set wrong in your PC's sound config. file. More information is needed to properly solve the problem.

It could be the type of cables you're using. Are they balanced or unbalanced?

The jacks on the end will tell you what type of cable it is.

If the metal jack (plug) has 2 circles, it's a three-conductor plug (TRS or "tip-ring-sleeve"), which means the cable is balanced. It's meant for stereo connections.

If there's only 1 circle, the plug is two-conductor (TS or "tip-sleeve"), meaning the cable is unbalanced. It's meant for mono.

There's a 3rd kind, (TRRS "tip-ring-ring-sleeve). It has 3 circles, which makes it a four-conductor plug. The extra ring is specifically made for microphone connections in 1/8 in. This is the one you would want to use for a cellphone connection, for normal operation.

But because of what you're doing, the connections and cables have to have to be specific, otherwise you'll end up with lots of noise and interference. It's much easier if you have pictures to look at, that way it won't seem so overwhelming.

This should be able to help. If not, just let me know and I'll do what I can to help you figure it out another way.

Set the voice input level on the voicelive2 by following this guide from the live 2 manual... Step 4: Set Mic Level This step informs VoiceLive 2 how loud you plan to sing with your particular mic. We'll use VoiceLive 2's automatic MIC GAIN feature to quickly set the optimum level. 1. Press and hold the REVERB footswitch 2. If you need to activate phantom power for your condenser mic, adjust the onscreen PHANTOM parameter which will restart the level test 2. Sing for five seconds with peaks that are as loud as you plan to sing 3. Follow the prompts in the display to finalize mic level setting, cancel or redo the procedure During performance, if you see the CLIP indicator light in the HOME screen, you can return to the automatic
MIC GAIN feature to adjust the input level.
When input level is set on the voice live ;
on the mixer set the gain control to 12 o'clock position and
individual channel volume level to 7 ....raise the master volume
slider to hear mic input at desired level and without feedback

The XLR are intended for mic and as such they have the gain needed to use mics.
The connectors on the back are LINE LEVEL connectors. To use a mic with these, you will need to have mic preamps to send adequate levels into the jacks on the back of the unit.

Thiis amp has plenty of gain for mics. Make sure your mic has a good XLR to XLR cable (balanced) and connects to the XLR input connectors. If you have 1/4 inch jack cables that aren't TRS balanced on the mics, get rid of them and get XLR's.

Then push the PFL button down (LED will light red) for a single channel with a mic and adjust the trim (top knob for the channel) so that the level peaks without clipping on the main LED display when highest input to the mic is being generated. You should not get clipping then during operation.

After that you use the slider tio adjust the level for the mic. The MAIN slider should be at least up around -10 to zero during operation. If your main slider is way down, then you haven't balanced your channels properly. Do the same for each channel as the instructions for the mic above. If the gains of the other inputs are too high and the MAIN slider too low, this is what is causing your problem.

Typically the trims for mics like Shure 58 are about 3 o'clock.

High level guitars may have trims anywhere from 9 to 3 o'clock.

Ideally you will want your channel sliders to be between -10 and zero.

I am sorry to disagree, but some information in the previous post is INCORRECT. DO NOT connect the output of the mixer to the MIC input. The mixer generates LINE level output that should go to the LINE-IN on the sound card. If you connect the mixer to the mic input, you will damage the sound card. MIC level inputs have an additional amplification stage.

If you want to record in stereo, the quick and dirty way is to get a 1/4 inch stereo to 1/8 inch plug cable and go frrom the headphone output jack. (Use a Wye connector if you need to listen on the phones)

All the other outs are TRS and XLR balanced and the computer audio (mic) inputs are unbalanced. You would need special cables to connect those.

i have djx750 mixer, and i want to connect speakers to it,but the cable for the speakers are guitar jack leads and back of mixer are scart can i get a cable with guitar jack and scart on same lead??cheers

It is possible, you can simply put a Y-cable for Mic or a splitter for the mbox and the Mic. You can plug the mic directly to the mixer then the other jack on the splitter connected to the mbox.
