Re: X32 Tech Talk
Unfortunately, I missed the webinar as I've been out on gigs all weekend.
What was the upshot of the shielded vs unshielded question?
I'm still not sure what is correct as I have Behringer US telling me not to use shielded as the added capacitance from the shield can be a problem, and on the forum here, another Behringer rep is saying we should use shielded.
If we do use stp, should we use the metal shell plugs and connect the shield at both ends? I am presuming the x32 and s16's have the ethercon sockets wired to pass the ground through?
I must say kudos to the service centre who are sending me a new desk and 2 s16's. Any equipment can have issues, it is how the company handles those issues that wins and loses customers!
I will soak test these on the bench here before sending them out on a job. I'll try the existing cable I have, and also get a new one per the Behringer reccomendation when I'm sure on that.
I hope the answer is as simple as the cable, although it would still not explain to me why it works on other systems, ethernet and AES50, but not on the x32/s16 combination.
FWIW both of my shows that failed continued without a hitch after the desk and stage racks were swapped out. Everything else, cables etc etc, remained unchanged.
