Hi and thanks for the advice! You are correct that:

It does matter going from balanced to unbalanced signal.

A standard mic cable has done the trick and I’ve been practicing all evening. Much appreciation for the help! 😎

Thank you for the advice and for pointing out the input impedance of both the mic and mic input on the amp … I have better understanding of that now. Your guess was correct in that it was the cable … a standard XLR to TS jack did the trick! 😊

It does matter going from balanced to unbalanced signal.

That’s fair. I’m going to get a standard XLR-TS mic cable tomorrow and try that out. 🤞

Ok so impedance does not seem to be the issue, then. I’m gonna have to buy a xlr-ts mic cable or adapter tomorrow. Strangely, with all my cords and adapters, I don’t have THAT one, of course! Plenty of XLRs, just nothing to convert to the TS jack! Hopefully tomorrow, Aroma or the seller can get back to me with some idea, as well.

The mic-in on the amp is a TS jack (most likely), but my cord is a TRS … shouldn’t matter though? Yes, I used the line-out on my Zoom, with a 3.5mm TRS to 6.35mm TRS adapter.

The Aroma website provides little to no info on the amp, but here is a local music store that has some specs. And this is the mic - https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0E7P

Here are the apparent specs of the input jacks on the amp

• Channel 1 Input socket: 6.35mm jack Input impedance: 10Kohm EQ: Bass, Treble, Volume
• Channel 2 Input socket: 6.35mm jack Input impedance: 1Kohm EQ: Volume, Echo

My son came up with a great idea where we could add a short pop-up note to a pixel or coordinate, perhaps with a viewing expiry time or until the pixel is changed, which would allow for direct communication with other people on the canvas. You could activate the note with a right click of the mouse, for example.

I’ve been making contributions all night but it’s mega slow going.
