Thanks for the reply. We use this board at my church, and I am a bit of a novice at sound systems, but I think I’m picking it up slowly. It’s very strange, because sometimes all of the mic inputs don’t show any signal and sometimes they do, but either way the speakers have no output. Several months ago the drop would last anywhere from 30s to 2-3m. We have a sound company troubleshooting this as well, and they’ve chased down several possibilities, and like I said initially we thought we narrowed it down to the Cat5 cable connecting the AR2412 and GLD-80. Our sound company was going to send the GLD into Allen and Heath to have them go over the board, and swapped out a similar board that also connected to the AR2412. When they tested the other board, it did the same thing. So they swapped the Cat5 cable, and it stopped and never happened again while they tested it. They setup the GLD-80 again, and after they did this we still had some very small gaps where the mic would drop for 1 sec or 2, but we thought it might be wireless mic signal loss. Then one night the sound dropped out completely again. I reached over and jiggled the Cat5 cable on the AR2412 and the sound came back immediately. So then I swapped the custom made Cat5 cable for a pre-manufactured cable. This seemed to fix the problem for good, but within last 2-3 weeks the problem has returned with a vengence. Now the sound can drop out for 3-4m.
Our sound company also thought at one time it might be the AMM on the board. We have a couple of mics that we leave on during our service. Our pastor wears wireless mic but sometimes stands behind the podium. The board was setup to use the auot mic-mix feature, and we initially thought maybe the AMM was getting confused and not swapping mics correctly. I can watch the AMM an the mics seem to show signal the whole time. We’ve spent a lot of money and time troubleshooting this and it’s getting pretty frustrating.
