[QUOTE="Darren Scaresbrook, post: 83702, member: 1272"] Re: CAT+power-cable test results Dan, there are some guys over at the Behringer forum also having issues. There are 3 or 4 threads over there about it. Two of them have changed cat5 cables and seem good so far, and another has replaced the s16's. As this problem is so intermittant, I would be hesitant though to call them fixed until some more time has passed. I don't think it can be called an input or output problem as such, as the aes50 signal is carrying audio both ways and when it loses sync the whole aes50 signal will drop out. FYI this is my post from one of the threads. [I]"Hi Walt, My x32 and 2 x s16's have just been shipped off for the Australian service agent to look at. I am having the same problem as you.

Unfortunately I have put $1k into cases for the desk and racks but I think I will have to cut my losses and get a refund on the x32 and s16's. I think I can see an A&H GLD in my future!
