I wouldn’t worry about interference (or at least, I’ve never had any problems), but heat could be a problem if you’re stacking too many things together without space in between.

he is from Sweden… I guess he will call UK before US or get in contact with national support…

Oops. Literacy fail Anyways… definitely call one of the tech support numbers from that link (there’s European one as well) or whatever local distributor you may have. It shouldn’t be doing that, and I’ve never had that pop up with any FX sends that I use.

I believe what he’s saying is that the fx send (in this case, kick to sub harmonics) isn’t following the kick channel’s mute properly.

As to a solution, that sounds like some sort of glitch to me. Have you tried restarting both your surface and mix rack? Is the firmware up to date? Created a new show from scratch to see if it still happens? I would call the iLive support number, which is here: https://www.allen-heath.com/UK/Support/Pages/iliveSupport.aspx?CatId=iLiveSeries&SID=34. Fair warning though, if you try the USA number for Ryan Landry, he is out of the office until tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11 AM Eastern.

Good to know it can handle lower than that though

I think you’re talking about the ones that log the min/max that the system has been at, min/max of safe operating range. You’ll notice there’s a reset button somewhere around there that will change them. Also, they’re solid state electronics with no batteries… they should be able to go a lot lower than you can stand, I would imagine.

I had this problem at one point too. The much better fix would be to use the speaker matrix processor on one of your FX channels — do it the right way across the whole system instead of fixing it for just your effects.. Set your mains up as L/R/Sub, then use the speaker processor to spread the L/R/Sub signal to L/C/R/Sub. Information about it is in your manual, but in case you don’t have it go here and look at the bottom of the 2nd and top of 3rd pages https://www.allen-heath.com/UK/CategoryDocuments/iLive_Rack_FX_Emulations_rev3.pdf.

Totally forgot about that! I just tried it out myself, unless I’m missing some sort of corrective magic the phase shift completely kills it.

I tend to agree, if you need more than a 4 band parametric with adjustable Q AND an sweeping high pass filter on an input channel, your doing it wrong and something is severely broken in your mixing.

I can’t think of a single scenario…. ever… where this would be a good idea and would result in something sounding good.

I was going to say this too but didn’t. If you need more than that, or if you’re needing to cut/boost huge amounts anywhere, someone’s doing something very wrong. Use a different mic, aim the mic better, or the person on stage needs to learn to not suck. My problem is usually the last of those of course []

I’m a big fan of getting it right at the source and then doing just enough tweaking to allow everything to sit in the mix together without being changed drastically. It’s live sound reinforcement after all.

If you’re talking about higher/lower frequencies, there’s a setting somewhere that lets you “unlock” the 4 PEQ bands so that each of them can be fully moved from 20-20khz. Not in front of my console right now, but I believe you press one of the soft keys to get to Mix Rack settings and it’s somewhere in there.

Learn to use the PEQ, also this morning i used one AKG 300C into 4 channels, I had better control because i was able to shift the PEQ on all 4 channels and roll off what was covered on the other three. Then use the compression SC and compress just that freq range for each channel. then grouped them into one DCA. PEQ allow a smoother transition on frequencies than the GEQ.

Smart, you’re using the high and low pass PEQ bands as pseudo crossovers to split the mic into low/low-mid/high-mid/high channels? Sounds pretty drastic though (not that I haven’t done equally creative things!), what were you micing?
