== T8S and T4S ==
;T8S
: Primarily for wireless receivers.
;T4S
: For additional connections, such as a host headset microphone using the Sennheiser AVX system or emergency wired connections.
 
=== Connections ===
;Main Outputs
:The T8S Main Outputs Left and Right connect to the T4S Aux Inputs 5/6 (panned hard left and  right) using 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve balanced cables.
 
:The T4S ToneMatch ports connect to two L1 Pro32 systems using 50-foot (15-meter) CAT-7 cables. These are heavy-duty, shielded Outdoor Cat 7 Ethernet Cables (26AWG), preferred for their durability on stage. Lighter-duty cables can also be used.
 


=== T8S Noise Gate ===
;Settings
:The T8S Comp/Gate | Noise Gate is set with an aggressive -35 dB threshold. This setting shuts down each microphone when not in use, minimizing feedback and stage bleed from open microphones.
