Something like this?

A nice solution would be to use some of the cable that’s out there that combines CAT 5 and audio in a tough jacket and run to your wireless rack to which you could add the MU-1 or a switch capable of powering the ME-1’s. The downside might be that those types of cable seem to be on the expensive side. Also if you want Stereo you’d have to run unbalanced to the rack which provides the potential for noise but at least it’s a high level signal which could be padded at the rack. Just a thought.

Well, I just got done with some frustrating troubleshooting with MixPad/iPad connection. It happened probably due to upgrading the iPad OS. I’ll relate what I found in case it happens to anyone else an also if someone can shed a bit of light on it for me. Updating to 1.92 on everything hadn’t helped at all, I just couldn’t get MixPad to connect with the rack for anything. Checked and double-checked IP settings with no luck. Found a free app so I could Ping from the iPad and checked everything.( rack, computer, router and iPad) Everything checked out with a good connection and no errors. Finally I happened to notice the rack had a DNS setting of 0.0.0.0 and the iPad had no DNS setting. Now I hadn’t really paid much attention to this as my understanding has been that this is only related to WAN networks and converting Domain names to addresse’s via DNS servers. I’m never using the router connected to the internet during shows and didn’t even think it was even needed in this application but when I set the DNS in the iPad to match it finally connected normally. Something in the update or new about the OS caused this as I hadn’t changed any settings in the iPad. If anyone can expound on what DNS has to do with an LAN or knows of an article with respect to that I’d appreciate it. I’ll have to do some more studying as now I’m at a loss for why this happened now.

Thanks!

I believe Aviom made a receiver that converted back to analog but not sure if they had anything that went to a digital format. Look for AN-16/o

The only time I’ve seen something like that is if I didn’t realize I had two channels patched to one input. If turning down the aux send on that channel removes the signal it looks like something is screwy in firmware or hardware land. Definitely not good!

Gotcha…I was thinking you wanted to use the ME-1 by patching it back through the rack and use a parametric or graphic and then on to the wedge.

Other than the L/R send levels and pans the only other thing I could imagine is having something patched to the external input of the matrix. And I think you’d know if you did that, not something that could happen by accident.

Is it just one matrix that acts that way or have you tried it with a different matrix.

Tim,

The ME1 does have a TRS mono out so it would be easy with a patch cord. The question might be how much latency the whole path would have with another loop through the rack.

Nice diagnosis work!

Mike,

If you have access to or could borrow a small portable mixer and plug a few inputs and mics in and don’t get tone that may indicate some sort of interaction between the mixrack and other gear. Similar to using a Q-box.

Im not getting tone until I connect a mic to the snake. At this point, I think I’ve convinced myself there is some sort of interference between the snake and the mixrack. I need to know what could be causing a 10khz tone. Could it be wires crossing the audio cables? Cheap cables? Converters? Distance? Im gonna take another stab at it tmr. This convo maybe needs to move to another forum.

Toby,

Just tried to replicate this in several ways with the iDR32 and editor. Couldn’t make it do it. No AES, but a MMO card installed. Even shutting the rack down with editor open wouldn’t do it.

P.S. Fly it up and drop it off the X8. Maybe that will fix it. []

Specs say 1-16, ST 1-3 for dsnake so may be two unused inputs on the stagebox. Mix 1-10, L/R on the outputs.
Sounds like the custom layer is just selectable from the two layers.

if you connect a 24 channel stagebox from GLD …got 24 channel mix ? or remain on 16 ?? Saw there are 3 Layers … 17-24 on custom base ?

It doesn’t look like the talk switch itself can be controlled by either MIDI or even the PL-Anet controllers. You can control talkback assignment via the PL series. It would be one mix per PL-xx switch.

It might be possible to lock or tape the talk switch down and use the PL-8 and toggle an assignment on and off via a footswitch but I’d ask A&H whether that would work before trying it as the PL-8 is a $300 item. The PL-8 has four switch inputs so you could assign 4 different mixes using those switch imputs, should this method be viable.

Another option is to assign main outputs to a DCA and use it as your main fader.

Intrigueing idea! The wireless part of it would scare me as well thought I could see playing with a circularly polarized system across a room or longer link outdoors to see how well the rejection factor helps with WiFi. Toby, i know I’ve seen a lot written from the FPV folks on how well CP works and I’m sure you’ve well versed in that as well.
