HI - USED MY T1 FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT - DOES ANYON KNOW THE BEST SETTING FOR THE NOISE GATE - AS NO MATTER WHAT I DID IT DIDNT SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE

Hi Mike,

The Noise Gate will not make any difference to the sound... What it does is shut down an input until the sound level of the input exceeds a certain level.

I use the noise gate on my vocal microphone so that it basically mutes the input unless I'm actually singing into the microphone.

How were you using yours? On a microphone?

When the settings are right, you won't notice it, but it will have a tendency to reduce amplifying stage noise when you are not singing, and it can also help reduce feedback when you are not in front of the microphone.

You can read more about this idea here: T1® Noise Gate Tips for Feedback

Thanks but im well aware of what a noise gate does - it just didnt seem to have any affect on the mic at all- however further investigation and all sorted now - found out an interesting fact - i use a beyer tgx 60 had loads of feedback problems - so tried a jts mic - not bad - so i tried a mic that obviously came out of a frosties packet and guess what ?? no feed back at all -- why is this does anyone know

Hi Mike,

I hope I didn't offend in my notes about the noise gate. If I did, I'm sorry. It certainly wasn't my intention.

As for your Frosties Packet microphone: Did you readjust the T1® Channel trim settings when you changed microphones? Or maybe the inexpensive microphone had a different frequency response. I hunted around but could not find any detail about the frequency response for the TG-X60.

NO MATE NO OFFENCE TAKEN !!! NO I DIDNT RE ADJUST THR TRIM SETTINGS - I THINK I COULD HAVE GOT A LOT MORE OUT OF IT AND FIDDLING WITH THE EQ WOULD HAVE GOT A QUITE GOOD SOUND - FROSTIES PACKET WAS A BIT SEVERE BUT IM SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN - WILL TRY THE BEYER AGIAN TOMORROW NOW NOISE GATE IS SORTED OUT
