Re: AC and signal cable of whatever typeI remember someone from Behringer talking about the importance of having a UPS that will kick in under 20ms to keep the console from crashing or doing "odd" things. I've seen this personally happen with this console and a $150 'APC' UPS. I replaced it with a Minuteman (2/4 millisecond kick in time, or 6-10 as it said on the box) and it stopped the little odd short system mutes that would happen every now and then. That was without a digital snake though...I just finished a show last week, used 250' of cat-6 utp (unshielded) to a couple s16's, also used those same boxes to output all the channels out into a Roland M-480 console, so I could use the p16-m's and get more channels for surround playback. I also used some M-48's in the bunch. Had another run of 250' cat-6 utp for the Roland digital snake. It was goofy complex but I could virtual souncheck pretty nicely to everything. I used cheap APC's for the UPS's and never had a hiccup, I've used them for years. Seems like the X32 and s16's are a little more picky with power glitches. Seems like shielded Cat-5 would be the most reliable, that's what comes with the Roland stuff, and also with the p16-m's...
