Hey everyone. I have seen people out there adding an external microphone to their OPXY. I have got a small super basic one connected to the input of the OPXY and I can’t get it to work. If I select the Mic option from the Aux 5, what can be heard is the OPXY internal mic, but the eternal one does not seem to work. I have tried to switch the input rather than the Mic option but not much luck either.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks v much
The TRS input on the OP-XY is line level, and doesn’t provide phantom power. The mic icon you’re seeing is for the internal microphone and won’t help you with an external monitor.
It’s likely that if you want to use an external microphone you’ll need to get an amplifier that can provide power to the external microphone, and it will need to provide a line level output that you could then connect to the OP-XY.
I see, makes sense, thank you for the intel!
