== 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. | |||
