[QUOTE="Costa Lakoumentas, post: 98629, member: 1685"] Re: S16 audio drop outs Dear Brian, Sorry to jump in late but I'd like to see if I can help clarify some of what is going on here. From what I understand you tried an X32 with S16 Stage Boxes using an existing Roland CAT5 cable and experienced some difficulties. For starters, the Roland cable is the wrong cable to use and incompatible with the X32. As you can see from this link [URL]http://www.roland.com/products/en/REAC_CABLE_100m/index.html[/URL] the Roland cable is a “Crossover Ethernet cable” and not the “straight-through” cables used by most modern networking devices and digital consoles. The crossover refers to the fact that wire pairs switch positions on the connector terminations, allowing like devices to be connected together. While I can’t speak to Roland’s decision to build their system around this cable topology, I can tell you that most modern gear incorporates what’s called Auto-MDIX which negates the need for such cables. Let’s also be clear about the various comments for proper power distribution and power line filtering. People posting here are expressing their advice based on best practices learned from decades of experience. It is always best practice to run technical power from one source, with one ground point. It is always best practice to filter the power fed to digital equipment and it is also extremely wise to use a UPS on any device that has a boot sequence to its startup. I would prefer that you buy an X32, S16 stage boxes and P16 personal monitoring mixers and enjoy not only the performance but also the value that they deliver. But I would still recommend proper power, filtering and backup if you choose a different solution.
