Brad Saucier Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hi and welcome to the forums. Yes, you can run audio into the PX-5s and record all of it to the USB thumb drive. You'll need to use a separate mixer board for the microphone and then send the mixer audio out to the PX line in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salutes and graces for the ready explanation, but does this mean that cannot directly connect the microphone to the entry "audio-in" but only through an external mixer?

Brad Saucier Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Generally, yes, you'll want and even "need" a mixer to boost the audio signal to an acceptable level and perhaps EQ the sound a little or add effects like reverb. The audio inputs on the PX-5s are not designed for a microphone directly but it will work at a lower volume level if you're in a pinch. I think to do what you want, you'll want a mixer.

Display Name Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 You basically using the mixer as a preamp.. to bring the mic level to line level. If you don't need a mixer you can go with a standalone preamp, but I would go with the mixer. Much more versatile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
