[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 212899, member: 52"] Patrick, Sounds like you have ruled out your end of the system as being at fault. Unplugging and plugging in a phantom powered mic often creates a high level transient with enough amplitude to "break through" a dirty/tarnished connection. It is possible that the connections between the wall panel and the xlr connections to their amp/mixer have become oxidized enough to not pass lower level signal, unplugging and plugging those back in several times might reduce the tarnish enough to work consistently- cleaning those connections with a cleaner like DeOxit may fix the problem. If that is not the problem, their mixer itself may have internal connection problems requiring either cleaning or re-soldering connections. Art [/QUOTE]
