How to interface a mic level mixer output with a MX_10 or MX-20?

cpoorbaugh1 · ‎05-15-2017

we have 6 ceiling mics in an area where we would like to place an SX-10 or 20. As you know, the line input has a direct loop out to the live speakers. We need the mics to NOT be heard live as input on the line input. We need to use the MIC level input for the mic mixer. We've tried to do this before with an SX-10 with NO success. Help

You should bring all the microphones into an audio DSP, from there connect the DSP output to the microphone input on the codec, this way the microphone audio will remain separate from the audio heard in the room.

The codec jack for Mic input is typically a four conductor, one of which I assume is for "mute". However, the number of conductors for the output of the mixer is THREE (Left/Right/LOW).

Do you have an illustration as to how the four conductors "mesh" with Three?

You'll need to use a 4-pin connector plugged into the codec, but you can make an adapter cable to go from the 4-pin connector to a 3-pin connector, take a look at Connect a third party microphone to a Cisco SX20 for an example.
