Before I got frazzled and discouraged the volume from the desk was down halfway. Still crazy distorted. Although if back to front DI boosts volume then I really shot myself in the foot there. The DI I was using was this (albeit back to front)...

Has anyone successfully done this? I tried yesterday running the main outs backwards through a stereo DI that could give me RCA out (the Insta requires a tiny jack for its input). It got signal but it was very distorted, I pulled the master down halfway, no change. I got flustered and...

How in the ever loving hell do you adjust the aux master volumes? On the "prefs" setting I can see an overview of the outputs for foh and the USB out and the auxes. And the centre knob is offering me reset which puts everything to minus infinity. FOH master is clearly the knob bottom right but...

Should be ooooold. Bought 3 years ago and never been updated (on mine at least). It feels like a processing problem, the frequency continues to get louder for a few seconds after the physical fader has been pulled down. Like the fader is trying to match the volume value the GEQ believes it...

I worked on an x32 the other week where the geq on faders was as good as unusable, both because the fader was fighting the speed with which wanted to pull it back down and because the internal processing doesn’t seem to be keeping up with the fast reduction in volume either (judging by the...

Ran an actual band last night. Nahhh, it still sucks, time to trouble tech support again

Liiike, 4 to 6 preamps and a stereo in or two, volume for master and one aux

I’ve tended to gravitate towards the zed range for niceness but I notice they wear out fast when they spend a lot of time out. What would people recommend for a console that’s going to stationary and always be on? The last zed that tried to do this job randomly started maxing out the volume a...

Built in wifi (weaker now since someone snapped the plastic off of the aerial). I expect it to be a bit bad but the hardwired laptop should hold the fort in theory. Factory reset and firmware updated that sucker. It still throws the GUI errors. That’s not fixed but I locked the screen so it...

Desk is less than two years old Had previously presented with a fault where it would disconnect and when it reconnected it would reset all of the settings on all of the channels. Updating the ipad seemed to fix this It has also previously presented this fault where it loses connectivity and...

Hellooo, I have a crackling multicore problem. Channels 2/3 and 6/7 appear to be fine but when there is phantom power running through them and an XLR plugged in, bumping the XLR causes them to crackle like a faulty cable would. My first port of call was to have a look inside the multicore box...

Well, very likely over-excursed (I haven't had a chance to inspect them yet but they make sounds no longer and the same speaker cable run drives the one survivor fine so the sub is the break in the signal chain). The set up is two in series running off of a single channel of a Crown Macrotech...

Last year I was involved in a production involving a mix of orchestra, big band ensembles, dance groups and choirs. I ended up having about 10 or so condensor mics 'spotting' the various sections and it sounded great but added a lot to the changeover times as every mic stand had to be struck...

RCF 1018 subs paired with a Yamaha P7000S amplifier. Speaker RMS is 600w, peak is 6000w. There's two subs so 4 ohms, aiming for more than 1200, less than 12000? The yamaha in bridge mode can put out 3200w. (so, 1600 per sub). The questions are, is that a happy match? Could/should I potentially...

Apparently we have some wild weather around these parts. State wide blackout yesterday (in my suburb from about 4PM till 2AM). Transmission lines knocked flat by the wind, literally tripped the circuit breaker. Actually kinda cool finding out how the system works (hence the posting)...

Wondering if there are any standard courtesies people practice when their hire clients have stopped paying and it comes to crunch time? At present I have sent the polite email inquiring as to what is happening with getting invoices paid. This was met with a complete derail. I've responded with...

The woofers in my SX300s have started to rip around the edges where the cone attaches to the metal frame (making them sound rattley). As a stop gap I used woodglue to hold them together expecting them to self destruct over the next few shows. Surprisingly, after a month of being used as fold...

Running two subs per side and happened upon a suggestion on the internet that the output is actually rolled off below 120Hz (intended to be used with a specific top with no dsp). Is that a thing? How do I avoid the thing? I have the inbuilt crossover disengaged at the moment but I'm still a bit...

Do these exist? I'm toying with the idea of putting line array in a long narrow room with a capacity of 230 but standard sized boxes would be massive overkill and well and truly out of my budget anyway. Feel like the line array concept executed in miniaturized version might be perfect for the...

I've been booked to provide PA and sound for a concert in a big town hall. Have some idea, wondering some things though. Leaning towards hiring in an M32, not sure which way to head with speakers. I have access to RCF line array.....potentially could be flown (there is motorised truss in...
