Topic: VL TOUCH signal coming too hot into the P.A. mixer?

Hi, I recently purchased the VoiceLive Touch and have been extremely impressed with it. I have a problem however, few days ago I played a small venue (guitar+vocal) and plugged my VLT in my powered mixer via a single XLR cabel and also had it setup in mono mode as suggested.

What I noticed is that the red clipping signal LED on my mixer lights up all the time suggesting feedback when I sing into the microphone, but I am not hearing any distortion in my sound. I am afraid that this signal might damage my mixer, which is very expensive. I tried lowering the input and output levels via potentiometers on the right side of the device, but it doesn't change

I've read on another topic (about VoiceLive2) that a suggestion for this is to switch between Line output and Mic output, but there is no such option on my VoiceLive Touch.

I would appreciate help on this matter as it is very important. Thank you in advance

Hiya Igor1901,

You should be able to run the VoiceLive Touch in the way you want to without issues. Have you got a -dB pad on your mixer input? Is the Mic gain level on the input all the way down (off)?

You may want to contact TC-Helicon's support team directly so they can troubleshoot your specific setup with you:

Best wishes,

Re: VL TOUCH signal coming too hot into the P.A. mixer?

I case you haven't solved this yet....

I have run into the same problem running VLT into snake to house sound at large venues.....maxes out the mixer channel even with VLT output level (advanced setting) way down, mixer input down, and mixer channel attenuation pad activated. 

I have been advised to run VLT TRS output to DI box to house mixer. This should lower signal level to mic level that house mixer channel is expecting and solve the problem.  I have yet to try this out but based on realiable sources I'm fairly confident this will solve the issue.  Good luck.  D Paul
