Tarnish & Corrosion

support@line6.com — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:20:43 GMT

I have a reoccuring problem with tarnish/corrosion on the 1/8" three-conductor connector of my XDT4 transmitter. The tarnish causes massive crackling and popping to come through the guitar speakers when the cable twists slightly in the socket. Periodically I pull the cable out of the transmitter and wipe it down but that only "fixes" the issue for a short period of time. What is the cause of this? What can I do about it? The environment I use this in is dry and temperature controlled.

Thank you for your time and effort.

I'd love to compare the antennas with another unit. The problem is that my dealer (Guitar Center) had to order a unit for me to purchase. They don't stock this item on a regular basis.

I attached my XTD4 transmitter to my strap and used velcro straps to 1.) shorten the cable and 2.) keep it aligned with the strap as it travels down towards the strap locks. You can do what I did if all your guitars share the same quick release strap locks.

Re: XDR95 - only receiving on RX2 & RX3 not RX1 & RX4

Try removing both antenna and see if all four green RX lights are lit. Once you've done this, wander away from the receiver and test the range. Report back your findings.

Signal dropouts

I've noticed the following behavior while using the X2 XDR95 receiver and the XDT4 transmitter.

When zero antenna are used, the four green lights are on 95% of the time. Occasionally one of the lights will blink off for a fraction of a second. The signal is strong and the sound is clear.
When both of the antenna are attached, two of the green lights stay dark (usually RX1 and RX2). As I move around, RX3 and RX4 will go out and my guitar sound cuts out.

This would lead me to beleive that the antenna included with the product are the wrong length for the frequencies used by the X2 XDR95.

The unit is in XDR mode. This behavior occurs on all channels. The red RF light stays dark while doing a scan of the five channels and all transmitters were off.

What do I do? Or more to the point, what will Line 6 do?

(Other than this behavior, the unit sounds great!)

Digital Out?

Are there any plans to produce a product like the XDR95 that features an AES/EBU digital out? I would love to maintain a single digital signal path as long as possible.
