Hey @docshermsticks, trying to figure out if this splitter will work with the TX-6 cue out. Specifically, will the TX-6 (via your splitter) power a plug in power mic? Word is (and I don’t know enough about it) that the TE headset requires plug in power for it’s mic, would that power be passed through the splitter?

i just tried this with a lom omni mic and my initial test failed

by comparison i could trick the cue input to take opz audio thru the splitter

if i’m not mistaken
plugin power mics are wired like
signal = tip
power = ring
ground = sleeve
on a regular TRS jack.
a splitter really isn’t necessary in this situation to provide power to the mic

the opz TRRS splitter is splitting a TRRS jack
to separate the audio output and input onto 2 separate jacks

ah okay reading a lil more about the tx6
(i dont have one so i’m not super familiar)

so the cue out is a TRRS headphone // headset mic combo
am i reading that correct?
the guide doesn’t mention anything about plug in power
and seems just like a normal headset microphone scheme from the words and diagrams.

so if thats the case then yes the OPZ TRRS splitter should split the audio in and out to separate jacks and work the way it was intended to.

not sure how u would also provide power in this scenario? as u’d need 5 poles in total
one extra for the plug in power, which doesn’t make much sense to me?
not even sure that kind of jack exists TRRRS?

unless i’m missing something (which could be hte case)
seems like plug in power is not required or even provided by the TX6…?
no headphone // headset combo thing uses plug in power afaik

Ok thanks for your insight. I don’t personally know much about it but am researching microphone options for use with the TX-6. I ordered a stereo pair of clippy mics but they will need plug in power afaik. I read on another forum that the TE headset/mic needed power for the mic and assuming that the headset connection on the TX-6 was designed for use with that headset I was hoping it provided power. If headset mics don’t need power then I will have to find another way.

if you’re lost u can look and u will find me…

Even with the Line Module, I’m still finding this absurdly useful.

Mono synth into the splitter, stereo headphones out.
OP-1 (stereo) into Line Module input.
Line Module out into OP-1, for recording.
Line module midi out into mono synth

And a computer or iPad hooked up to the OP-Z’s USB-C for yet another in/out.

With the OP-1 field, you can also use the USB-C to get audio from the OP-Z.

Who needs a mixer?!?

hell yea
all the inputs :stuck_out_tongue:

Also used it on my MacBook Pro the other day to split the I/O on the headphone jack.

yea works on phones and tablets too

Is it possible to use both inputs (trrs splitter and zm-4 module input) at the same time? I´d like to use the op-z as a mixer for two devices (mono signal into the trrs splitter and stereo into the zm-4 module). Would this work?

Yes I can confirm this works - but be aware that they will share the same input settings on the module track.

Quick question on this unit (I don’t have mine in front of me)

Is the input stereo? If I run a stereo synth into it will I get stereo in through the module track?

Thanks

the TRRS jack on your Z (or all TRRS jacks for that matter)
the microphone input is always mono
theres only 4 poles for connections.
1x for ground. 2x for stereo output and 1x for input

the input jack on the splitter is stereo and accepts stereo and mono signals
but the stereo signal is then summed to mono to match the mono input of the Z
and so that u dont lose one side or the other in the process.

hope this helps!
