[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 72991, member: 2826"] Re: S16 Gains I noticed this day before yesterday, but in my case it seems to be more of a "pop/crackle" than "zipper noise" like I've heard in other devices. In the X32, it occurs when the input trim reaches around 11am on the indicator, and is almost like a dirty pot sound in that it will diminish as you work the pot to the point where it disappears entirely. Leaving it sit and then coming back to look for it can cause it to appear again on any particular attempt, but it definitely reappears sooner or later. The "pop" is quite a bit below the mic signal, but still more than zipper noise I've heard elsewhere. It was first noticed while using a phantom powered mic to test the console upon acquisition, but it occurs with any mic and also with no mic or cable connected to an input jack. It occurs on all channels, but disappears when the channel is muted or the fader is off. It is present on two of our three X32s, and the third one is buried in the truck so I haven't checked it yet.
