The {{ToneMatch Mixer}} trim controls for Channels 1-4 (1-8 for the {{T8S}}) provide a significant gain increase when you reach the upper limit. This increase in gain is normal operation.

Most sources like typical microphones and piezo pickup systems can provide enough level without the need to add significant gain from the trim control. Certain sources like passive acoustic guitar pickups require additional gain and in these cases it can be necessary to set the trim level to the upper range of the control. When the trim control is set this high you may notice the gain change. This is normal operation. If you want to run the trim control at lower settings we recommend using a preamp or simple stomp box level booster.
Most sources like microphones and piezo pickup systems can provide enough level so ou don't need to turn up the gain very high on the trim control.

=====Aux Inputs channels 5/6 (9/10 for the T8S)=====
The Aus inputs are designed for line-level sources and these can be balanced or unbalanced.
The input sensitivity is lower than the main inputs and that is appropriate for line-level inputs.


The trim for Aux input channels 5/6 (9/10 for the {{T8S}}) do not exhibit the same behavior as the trim controls for Channels 1-4 (1-8 for the {{T8S}}).  The Aux inputs are designed for line level sources and do not have the same gain staging as channels 5/6 (9/10 for the {{T8S}}).
They do not have trim controls or physical volume controls. You set the level in the PAN/AUX settings on the ToneMatch Mixer, and you can monitor the input levels in PREFS/Input Level.
