I know I have a post started on this subject before and I have tried some of the suggestions offered. This is not a problem that accures all the time.
So let me start from scratch and tell you what our system consists of. We are using a Qu-16, out LR (Foh) to 2JBL powered Prx 800 series 18″ subs, jump from the sub to a pair of JBL powered PRX 800 15″ tops so as to use the built in subs X-over. Last night we played a small venue and we were doing our sound check all was good till I got to the vocals and guitars. Two of the vocals had that swirling sound, 1 mic was a EV 767, the other mic was a wireless handheld 58 mic, this is with all the effects off. I Had to re EQ them and was able to get them to sound better. The swirling seemed to stop? Not sure why?. The other 2 vocalist microphones sounded fine. So Than I started to mix the guitars one, Les paul studio playing through a fractal ax8 unit, the other a PRS custom using the fractal axfx 3, both had that swirling sound. Now I can tell u that we all use IEM monitors. I AM THE GUITARIST USING THE Axfx 3. I have the bands mix coming from the Qu’s mix output 7 & 8 as a stereo sub mix going into a Asly M206 line mixer and sent to a 900series sure in ear system and I heard NO swirling sound in My IEM’s. We played the night before at a different club and had NO ISSUES… I had saved the mix from the night before and called it up last night and had all these issues. Could this be a electric issue in the club itself. Is anyone having this same problem? I also did try changing the phase on the microphones and it didn’t help. The sound is almost like someone has a Phaser pedal running. All the feect both in the mixer and our guitars were off. It made the microphones & guitars sound like they were in a tunnel and nasal. But Through my sub mixer and IEM system it sound Awesome. Any ideas?
