[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 121073, member: 2826"] Re: S16 and phantom pops Hi Jan, It may be intellectually right but in practice on my console it makes a difference. Setting it up on channels causes the unused S16's phantom to disappear, setting it up on Preamps and being able to power channels on both S16's simultaneously as I described in the other post causes all powered channels to stay powered whether or not that S16 is active. From Timmy's response, I don't think he's catching this nuance either; there is no need to globally power all inputs on both S16's that you are switching between. I believe I have some config parameters safe'd, and maybe that has something to do with it, but I've safe'd them for a reason (not wanting random BE files to change my routing to speakers) and therefore they will remain safe'd unless specifically needed to be unsafe'd. The difference in the first paragraph here when phantom powering on my console with multiple S16's results in popping with one method and no popping in the other method, not theoretically but in show-level testing, meaning all devices set up as if at a show. I'm glad I proved correct your idea that there should be STP used with Midas consoles as well as Behringer ones despite what other Midas people say and current Midas practice. Thanks, Dan [/QUOTE]
