[QUOTE="Michael John, post: 8916, member: 830"] Hi all, Here's a cautionary tale from the weekend. I had configured two PLM's to run my 3-way cabinets using the 6.1 Lake Controller. For Dante, I had channels 15 and 16 from a Yamaha MY16-AUD card in the mixing console routed to channels 1 & 2 of the PLM's "Dante Receiver Configuration" and each were routed to channels 1 & 2 of the PLM's "input configuration." This was FOH left and right. FOH was working nicely and so I ran the 5.8 Lake Controller to check on the settings of the two Lake Contours that were running foldback. (v6 onwards doesn't talk to Dolby Lake products.) I thought I'd also try looking at one of the PLM's and as I brough the PLM modules onto the view, FOH sound stopped and the Lake Controller showed some Dante errors. The Dante Controller showed that the Dante routes from the MY card to the PLM's were gone, and since I didn't have analog fallback, I just got silence!! I shut down the 5.8 Lake Controller, reconnected the routes using the Dante Controller, and the FOH sound came back. On we went. But something wasn't quite right. When I panned sources left, they came out of both L&R, and when panned right, silence. I didn't have time to troubleshoot any further during soundcheck so I pulled the network plug out of the MY16-AUD card, patched analog to the PLM's and ran the event on analog. The stage inputs were all still analog. Back at the workshop today I did some troubleshooting and found that when modules from a 6.1 configured PLM are viewed in v5.8, 5.8 blows away the Dante routing AND resets all the Dante patches on the PLM's "Input Configuration" page to ONLY use the 1st Dante channel from the "Dante Receiver Configuration." Hence I only got mono when I reconnected the Dante routes at the gig. So.... if you do have to configure Dolby Lake products (which require v5.8 or earlier) on the same network as PLM's (configured using 6.1) and you value using Dante, DON'T view any 6.1 configured PLM modules in 5.8!!!
