[QUOTE="Charles Dunn, post: 208565, member: 12056"] I just got a "refurbished" XR18 from Music Group and have a question. I was checking functionality with a pair of headphones and a 58, using an iPad to raise the gain one channel at a time while listening. With the channel fader at unity and the master at unity, I'd bring the gain up 30dB and have a strong signal peaking at 0dB on the channel and master meters with no audible noise. If I pulled the XLR from the mic input to test the next channel without muting, I get loud white noise on that channel until I mute it. That's a new behavior to me and although something I'm not likely to do during performance, hard re-patches are not so uncommon that I wouldn't experience this in a hurry where I forget to mute a channel during set-up. Also wondered if the Dugan auto-mix settings on a re-initialized board may contribute to this, as I haven't gotten into how that's set-up. Could another XR18 user test this behavior and report? Just wondering if this "refurb" is an anomaly or it's normal XR18 behavior out of the box... [/QUOTE]
