A clients X 32 started making loud digital sounding noises out of all the busses which seemed to be triggered by a vocals channel being turned up. I have never encountered anything like this and did not hear it myself. Anyone experience anything like this?

Never heard/saw that one yet. I've had pops/clicks from having the sync set to wrong clock setting. - but nothing like that...analog snake or digital snake? Ups on it? (that kicks over to battery in well under 20ms)

John, ALL of the buses, or all the buses in use? By chance was the vocal on a wireless mic?

Can you replicate the problem in your shop? I can't think of anything that would make a whole bunch of stuff freak out from just turning up vox mics. Is there a chance that pink noise got routed to a vox group?

If something with the console was globally fubar I'd expect it to manifest no matter what input was turned up; if there's a problem with an individual channel it's another story.

Have you called BerryCare in LV?

We tried everything we could replicate yesterday. I wasn't there so I am clueless. I have a date with them Sat so I will bring my X32R as a spare.

They said it was digital noise? Have everyone put their cell phones where they were when the noise started. Maybe? Maybe not?
