[QUOTE="Philip Langlais, post: 11208, member: 8150"] Hey all, just installed a Behringer ZMX8210 3-zone mixer for a house of worship client. Not much music, mostly speaking, so quality isn't huge issue and they need different zones for a multi-purpose room. Zone 1 is one side of a big room with a partition closed, Zone 2 the other side of the room with partition closed and Zone 3 is partition open and both rooms. Simple enough. Speakers area all JBL Control ceiling running at 70v. Have a Crown CTS 600. When I finished install this week and turned it all on everything worked great. Used mics on all jacks and an Ipod. Came in 2 days later and checked again before first event in there and all the sudden all channels sound crappy (distorted and little volume). Amp is clipping badly even with input almost all the way down. Amp also starts revving when I talk in mic for more than a few seconds. I replaced the amp thinking it might be bad, but next one did the same thing, which leads me to believe it has something to do with mixer. Only other thing in chain is a DBX 2 channel EQ but I replaced that also with a DBX Drive Rack. Same results. Does any one have any idea 1) why is this happening and how do I fix it and 2. why did it work for several hours initially and then crash?
