I want to use 3.5mm mics (headset or lavalier) using TRS (6.3mm) adapters, but AudioBox don't send/receive any signal, no matter how loud I scream at the mics.
Examples:

I have increased the gain knobs of both inputs, I have move the Mix knob, and I have activated/deactivated the blue-led buttons (except for the 48V phantom button of course) but none of that make it work. I have tested if my interface is working connecting a electric piano I have and it does work with that so the interface is working fine on both inputs, but when it comes ti these 3.5mm mics it just doesn't work. I have checked the use manual but it doesn't say anything about these, from what I understood is that it should work since the AudioBox has its own amplifiers for both input channels.

I would love any help, thanks in advance!

Those are probably electret mics needing a form of power from the input different from phantom power. You need an electret mic adapter which converts phantom power and also properly connects to the 2-ring plug.

I see now. I will see if I can find them around my city. Thank you for the reply!
