[QUOTE="Micah McFadden, post: 51135, member: 1636"] Re: Midas Pro6 Clock Failure? The particular show in question is using a Big Ben as a master clock. There was a power failure to the Big Ben which caused the audio to go down. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I think that there was a faulty Furman rack unit that caused the problem. Maybe Mr. Tepfer is right about not having an external clock unless it is necessary. Early on with this Pro6/Digi (Avid) package there were random digital pops happening on the digi(Avid) side. Our first thought was to make sure everything was clocked correctly, and so we switched to an external clock. However that wasn't really our issue. We were using MADI with a coaxial snake that was at the maximum length for that particular protocol. When we shortened the snake down to 250 ft, our problems were solved, and we ended up keeping the external clock as everything was working perfectly. [/QUOTE]
