[QUOTE="Chris Johnson, post: 120824, member: 975"] Re: New Yamaha QL Console at Frankfurt Interesting. I had never thought about it being due to a smaller subset of consoles. Suffice it to say that several of the UK distributors have, in the past (may be finally fixed with current firmware), had issues with consoles 'glitching' (only word I can think of, audio momentarily drops, but then re-appears). At the beginning, there was an issue with a 15second audio drop that may occur if consoles had been powered on a very long time (like more than a day). This was acknowledged by Yamaha in the release notes for a fairly recent update (1.6?). However, it appears that while this issue was resolved, a few of my contacts have reported much shorter drops (<0.5sec). I heard [B]rumours[/B] (i stress, unverified, I could be talking nonsense) that Yamaha had identified an issue in the communication between 2 chips on the CL board. Specifically between the primary chip, and whichever sub-system handles communication with the Dante module. Suffice it to say, this was a frustrating issue, and one that has given Dante (probably unfairly) a bad name amongst a small circle of CL users... I have no doubt that Yamaha are on it, because the issues have all but disappeared with recent firmware updates, but it was annoying at the time that it [I]seemed[/I] like no-one would officially admit there was a problem. EDIT: It goes without saying, as all will see from my recent posts, that I am a big Yamaha fan. And I say the above as a loyal user, not as a naysayer throwing stones from the outside. I would very much like to think that the CL and QL will be a continuation of the strong Yamaha rep for reliability [/QUOTE]
