[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 48044, member: 16"] Re: Connecting to a "house system" Charlie..... Those were some of the things that came to mind. I'm going in today to do exactly as you suggested in re the volume pot(s). The thing is it worked fine, then didn't, then did sort of, then didn't, then did again. The cheapo volume pot is my bet for Zone 1. As far as checking the wiring and more extensive revisions I'm going to refer it to a friend who has done a lot more of that work than I have. The only other thing I can think of is that the room where the rack was located is not heated.....at least not to the level of the main rooms. The temperature dropped below zero for a couple of days here, the room was closed and locked after setup on Friday and opened early Saturday a couple of hours before show time. There is a possibility that some condensation may have occurred. That might also explain the capacitance/minor short thing. I couldn't get into the rack to pull connections to check that. The connectors on the 810's are barrier strip, but they're being fed from a splitter which just as likely has XLR ins and outs. I've found that a tiny speck of condensation in an XLR can cause similar problems. Anyhow, it seems to be their problem ........ and mine only for that day. Anybody else got ideas? [/QUOTE]
