Re: X32 Tech Talk
Glad to hear they're sorting you out Darren - hopefully mine doesn't get to that point!
I ran my system again this morning, and had it multi-tracking to Reaper the whole time, in case it happened and i could record it... but - thank Murphy - it DIDN'T happen today... :?~:-?~:???:
There were two things I did differently today, to how my assistant usually connects the cables. The first, was plugging my FOH power into a different power board (same circuit though as usual though). The other, was changing the way my fly-lead was plugged between the X32 and the snake reel. You see, the cable on my snake reel DOESN'T have an Ethercon connector on it, just a standard booted RJ45 - that is the end I plug into the S16. My fly-lead though, has a booted RJ45 on one end, and an Ethercon on the other. I noticed that my young assistant had been plugging the booted end into the X32, and the Ethercon into the side of the snake reel. This morning, I reversed that, and plugged the Ethercon into the X32 - mainly because of everyone mentioning the grounding issue. So, not sure if that made a difference, or if it was just pure luck/coincidence that I had no issues this morning...?

So, my cable is the VanDamme Tourcat Cat5E STP Flexible (268-450-000 - Van Damme - Specifications - TourCat Series Category 5E cable) - does that qualify as being up to Behringer's recommended spec? If I add Ethercon connectors to the other ends of my cable and fly-leads, am I likely to cure that which ails me? Or should i be looking at a UPS (or power filter too now?) - and if i get one of those, can I mount it in my stage rack, and feed the power out from that to both my FOH and S16?
