8PRE with patchbay
« on: January 30, 2020, 10:18:07 am »
Hello Arturia Lovers,

I recently contacted Arturia support before buying 2 x 8PREs to check if I could use them with my patchbay since it has auto detection of mic and line inputs. I was assured that I would be able to select MIC or LINE in the software. I have connected the 8PRE to my patchbay using TRS jacks and I cannot work out how to tell the 8PRE that the TRS is a MIC input and not LINE. Can anybody please help me?

Thanks
Damian

Hi TRS jacks cannot be used for condenser mics as phantom power is only used on XLR. so the *pre will only see line or inst   but you can use a dynamic mic if you turn the gain to full.

Hope this helps

Thanks Terry for taking the time to respond.

Yes, in the end I have re terminated my jacks from the patchbay to be XLR at the 8Pre end. They transmit phantom power through the patchbay no trouble at all.
