I recently bought a violin pickup with a plan to run it into the AX8 so I can switch between guitar and fiddle without sending a different input to the monitor / board. They call it a pickup, but it is really a mic with an active pre-amp. When plug it into the AX8, I can get some volume out of it, but there are no lights lighting up for the input signal (even if I turn the pre-amp all the way up).
Is this an input impedance mismatch issue? Are there any issues with going into the AX8 with an active pre-amp, or should I just forget that plan I go directly to the board from the pre-amp?
