I tried this very thing last weekend on the 20B and found it was not possible. Great to hear that this will be added.

Operating temp was 59 during shit down events and the fluctuated from 53/54 when stable during latter section of set.

We have exactly this issue. Came to light last night at a gig. Our engineer borrowed the desk for a show a couple of months back and had same issue. We sent to be looked at and again problem not recreated in test conditions, put it down to bad ICU. Desk back and a couple gigs without a problem. Last night, a total disaster. Powered out about 5 times and sent the show sideways. Had a fan o. The desk blowing under the unit which made almost no difference. But eventually moved it to the back vents and this stopped any further shutdowns. Not a fix but might help. Desk is 10 years old and one of the UK ones. It apparently has mods on it which are indicative of the early ones. Desk has done us proud and doesn’t really owe us anything but disappointed that such a rock solid bit of kit is suffering a problem that has let us down so badly.

Got the same issue with condenser mics.

Really frustrating when you’re trying to work fast and ot happy that some are disadvantaged because we were early to the QU party.

Any work around yet?

Thanks,

Brilliant. Thanks all for responses.

I bit the bullet and all is well. Install worked the next time.

Cheers.

I’m experiencing the same issue as I type.

I love my desk and don’t want to harm it. I notice that the instructions say not to cut power but I cannot see another way at the moment.

Will it start again if I cut the power?

Thanks,

Adam

Robbocurry, thank you for your suggestion.

I currently have all mics in a mute group and actually do what you suggest. It works well. Problem is that once the physical plugging has been done I want to line check equipment without it coming over the FOH but I want it to hit the performer in the Monitors. At present the Mute overrides all mix outs.

I’m thinking though, the best thing might be to unassign mics/DIs/laptop inputs from main mix and then un-muting channels will result in sound in monitors but not FOH.

Working through this slowly. Cheers for ideas.

Thank you for your reply, Jline. This is not an option though as I’d want to be playing music between bands.

My plan to overcome the popping and over zealous lea pluger-inners was to unassigned the channels whilst changing/plugging in and then reassign, channel by channel, as I checked each instrument in. The audience hear the cd and the rest of us can hear what we need to.
