T4S Scenes - Jacks Out

Portable PA
1

Using a T4S, latest firmware and no problems but seeking advice..

I am to do a gig where I want to plug my T4S into a house system.

I realise I can do this via the two TRS out jacks on the back - but here's the thing - I did this one before and got very little signal out of the jacks and in the end had to put my mic into their desk and same with ipad - by-passing my T4S.

 

Something I did not do was change the scene, I was using a favourite stereo scene as normal, but a friend showed me a "Jacks Output" scene i'd not seen before and therefore not configured.

When using the jacks output is it necessary to dial in the jacks output scene?

 

I did think that I could use my two L1M2 sets rom the digital outputs and then take a feed from the analogue jacks to a desk - but my experience so far has shown me I can't.

 

I have a gig this Sunday plugging into a house system - can I use the analogue jack outputs with a normal scene or do I have to select it to get content through them?

Thanks

Dave

Hey Dave!

 

You should not have any issues running stereo out from the T4S to the House Desk. I guess there must be some other variables to investigate if the previous attempt at doing this was unsuccessful. A few questions to note:

  • Was the Trim at an appropriate level for your Mic/Instruments?
  • Was the master level set appropriately?
  • Did you also try the setup with the AUX Outputs? (If so was the AUX Output level adjusted Appropriately?)

Hope this helps!

Thanks David

 

Have since run several shows using the jacks out without issue. I guess the first time I tried - which was into a large mixer being run by a guy donating his services to a charity - I / he got something wrong.
