Casio Key Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Can I connect an acoustic guitar with a Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup with 9 volt battery to the CT-X5000's microphone input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 You might need to add attenuator, or signal level will be too high, or if you can adjust it on guitar side, it will work, why not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler Holloway Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think it's worth a shot. You'll want to keep the gain knob pretty low on the mic input. Are you considering buying a pick-up for this purpose, or is it something you already own? Your M-Audio interface could work, although if you're gonna use that, you'd be better off connecting it to the stereo audio input instead of the mono mic input on the CT-X5000. For the stereo input option, you'll want to use the INST switch for whatever input you have the guitar connected to on the M-Audio. Adjust the gain on the interface until you get a clean signal. Now just connect one of the pairs of stereo RCA line outputs to the audio input on the CT-X and you should be good. If you really want to go into the Mic input (maybe to use the onboard effects on the CT-X, I guess?) you'll want to switch the interface to mono mode, and then connect one of the 1/4" outputs on the back panel of the interface to the 1/4" input on the CT-X using a mono 1/4" cable. You'll want to play around with the gain and volume knobs on both the interface and the CT-X (might also want to use the Pad switch on the input for the guitar) to find the sweetspot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casio Key Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 12 minutes ago, Chandler Holloway said: Acho que vale a pena tentar. Você deve manter o botão de ganho bem baixo na entrada do microfone. Você está pensando em comprar uma pick-up para esse fim ou é algo que você já possui? Sua interface M-Audio pode funcionar, embora se você for usá-la, seria melhor conectá-la à entrada de áudio estéreo em vez da entrada de microfone mono do CT-X5000. Para a opção de entrada estéreo, você deve usar a chave INST para qualquer entrada à qual a guitarra esteja conectada no M-Audio. Ajuste o ganho na interface até obter um sinal limpo. Agora, basta conectar um dos pares de saídas de linha RCA estéreo à entrada de áudio do CT-X e você estará bem. Se você realmente quiser ir para a entrada de microfone (talvez para usar os efeitos integrados no CT-X, eu acho?) Você vai querer mudar a interface para o modo mono e, em seguida, conectar uma das saídas de 1/4 " no painel traseiro da interface para a entrada de 1/4 "no CT-X usando um cabo mono de 1/4". Você vai querer brincar com os botões de ganho e volume na interface e no CT-X (também pode querer usar o interruptor Pad na entrada para a guitarra) para encontrar o sweetspot. Exactly!
