I guess a badly inserted cable in the IN input (or faulty cable), causing the tip of the jack to touch the switch could cause something like this.Cool, Any idea of what was causing it to output audible signal from the case?
Yup that’s it, I just managed to recreate it, that particular cable wasn’t easily inserting fully. Must have not noticed before and thought it was fully insterting each time.

But given the 10mA limited current drive of a module output, the sound must have been very faint.
cable binned...
I guess the mic has a TRRS plug and the mic signal is on the 2nd ring (but should be on the tip for Ears´s mono jack socket)?rhialtotm wrote:lavalier mic with a 3.5mm TRS output cable. made by paladou for use with PC’s/smart phones.
Yeah, Ears is perfect for that. It has a ton of gain on the input, so it can amplify a line-level guitar up to modular levels to make signal processing much better. The knob on the front controls the sensitivity, and there are jumper settings for the decay.laurentius wrote:I would buy Ears mainly to generate gates from an incoming guitar signal (single notes).

Doepfer A-119 is another relatively inexpensive choice.laurentius wrote:I would buy Ears mainly to generate gates from an incoming guitar signal (single notes).

it does have a TRRS plug, but it has an adapter that turns it into a TRS plug. Either way it doesn't work. Is there an adapater that will get the signal onto the tip?RonDMC wrote:I guess the mic has a TRRS plug and the mic signal is on the 2nd ring (but should be on the tip for Ears´s mono jack socket)?rhialtotm wrote:lavalier mic with a 3.5mm TRS output cable. made by paladou for use with PC’s/smart phones.
Do you know what kind of lavalier mic it is? Most lavalier’s are condenser mics and need phantom power to work...rhialtotm wrote:it does have a TRRS plug, but it has an adapter that turns it into a TRS plug. Either way it doesn't work.

As I mentioned in my recent post, you need an adapter, that can give the microphone the required power, which I guess is pluginpower, not phantom power. The adapter from Soundman, shown in the link above does that. So you need to find something like that.rhialtotm wrote:it does have a TRRS plug, but it has an adapter that turns it into a TRS plug.

You can go direct in with a guitar with no issues.ronaldroy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 6:29 pm Not quite a necro thread ...
Is there enough gain on the input to drive a Sennheiser MD441 - a dynamic mic that needs a lot of preamp usually.
And guitar/instrument straight in is OK? Aren't there usually impedance issues?
Thinking about the usual comparisons with the Doepfer A119 and also considering the Befaco module.
