QSC TouchMix 8 Question
For those who upgraded to the latest software, how does one select High Impedance (Z) for channels 1 or 2? It doesn't seem to jump out at me. Moreover, does anyone know if the impedance is adequate for a K&K passive pickup (1M Ohm)? I cannot find it in the literature and I've read conflicting info on the Internet.
Thanks, David

QSC TouchMix 8 Question
I got a response from QSC. It's a bug in the firmware. If you cycle through the list of inputs while on the channel setup page, it should reappear on the second refresh of the first two channels. They're working on a fix. There is no "High Z" option for the TouchMix 16. Additionally, it would appear their definition of "High" is not the same as mine. According to the Internet forum people, it means 100K Ohms, not 10M Ohm, or even 1M Ohm. So, it may be a moot point for me and my passive K&K, regardless.

Just use a DI box, Dave. That will bring the impedance down. Ric

That's the plan now. My Red Eye arrived today and I gave it a go. Sounds good. The High Z on the mixer was not quite high enough for the K&K. I was getting weird high end artifacts in the tone. That seems to be purely an impedance mismatch issue. I'm using the 12 string version of the K&K. Not sure if there is any difference in impedance. All that said, I actually think the K&K sounds better through the TC Play Acoustic pedal, using a blend of the BodyRez 2 setting, than the Red Eye. But, there is a lot going on in the TC PA.

PS: I have a Touchmix 8. Are there High Z inputs greater than 10K on other inputs?

Gary, I confirm that the TouchMix 8 does have software switches for high Z. However it is not 1M ohm like the K&K prefers. I think it was 100k ohm.

I'm asking this because, try as I might, I can't seem to dial in the sweet spot in my Play Acoustic for my K&K equipped OM42, but I'm convinced that there will be settings in there somewhere that will work!! Many thanks.

Just saw this. I tried a bunch of different settings. In the end, I liked body rez 2 at 50% to 70% mix. I would try each of the basic body rez setting first, find the one you like the best, and then edit from there.
