I have two iLive systems within my campus, an older T80 with an iDR48 which is rock solid and has never given us an issue.
We also have a newer iLive T112 and iDR64 which has progressively accumulated noisy channels until we had 16 faulty and sent it off for warranty repair. It came back all good but, with the warranty about to run out, after about a year we notice two channels are noisy again.
The problem seems to be associated with using Phantom Power on those channels.
We are concerned that this may be a design fault and may continue to manifest long after the warranty has expired (at presumably substantial cost to us to rectify). It is interesting that the older iDR48 has never given us this problem … did the pre-amp design get changed at some point? Is there a permanent mod/fix?
