Good to hear. External routers are usually more powerful and reliable than using dongles.

The switching must be done at the speaker.

The feedback manager can only control feedback to a point. There are laws of physics that limit that. The feedback manager can allow you to operate at higher levels than the onset of feedback by notching offending frequencies. But once it has done a few (and it depends on many factors of your specific setup and venue) it can't really do anything else but reduce level to prevent feedback. Smoothing can only help so much, after that the reflections off your face into a mic or from the back wall become the dominant factors. And the feedback manager can do nothing about that. It is at this point you need to back your system down a bit as you have reached your limit. If you don't then it will appear to keep backing down your channel. But it's not really turning down your signal as much as it is holding that threshold constant and the rest of your system is coming up.

Unfortunately the cost of doing that would need to be built into the price. No one in the industry offers that in this price range. When you get up to $50k for a desk they overnight you a new one when problems happen. Let me ask you all this ... would you be willing to accept a refurbished unit that could be sent out the same day as receiving your return as opposed to waiting the week or so it takes for the repairs to your exact unit? You would still be looking at the shipping time necessary which is what it is.

Thanks Digital ... that is the best practice. Unfortunately you cannot shut off the 2.4G on Apple Express so even though you connect your iPad to it at 5GHz it is still sending and being hit by 2.4G.

So this is a total guess and certainly not endorsed by Line 6 I would expect you might get about 1-2 hours use if you used alkaline and about 3-4 if you used lithium.

The most common mistakes I see users making are: 1. Using a USB/Ethernet adaptor that is not the Apple branded unit specified on the FAQ 2. Plugging into the WLAN port instead of the LAN port (remember you are not looking to connect to the internet) 3. Not fully resetting the Apple Express If you get these three thing correct it practically sets itself up automatically.

Units that old only work in RF1 mode and cannot be switched. Have you gone through the troubleshooting guide in the FAQ?

So when you say digital clipping you mean complete show-stopping explosions ... 100% non usable? There really isn't a "beginning" of digital clipping. It's either hard clipped or it's not. There could however be some other type of distortion going on. You would have to do some kind of THD testing to understand where it begins. You could test this yourself by playing say a 400Hz sine wave into a transmitter and then gradually increasing the level. There should be well below 1% distortion until you hit the clipping threshold of the input at 6vac p-p (which would be almost impossible using common mics). Compare this in both RF modes. It should be visually observable in a wave editor if it is occurring as you are describing it. The other thing I don't clearly see being tested is the receivers. So if you can get a single transmitter to have the problem then can you switch 3 or 4 receivers to the same channel number and clearly hear the problem on all of the receivers. That would pretty much rule them out. Other than that, I'm just too far removed from the problem to guess. Can I get a list of the serial numbers of your transmitters? I can back check them to their original manufacturing QA testing.

Nearly dead batteries could cause something like this. But if after you switch batteries and if it continues then the units will need service.

Try switching to RF1 mode www.youtube.com/watch?v=9faTTufsgvs

Any Line 6 transmitter can match up to any Line 6 receiver. But only one to one. As far as solving dropoput issues I would need a lot of information. What firmware version are you running? What RF mode are you running in. Have you gone through the troubleshooting checklist in the FAQ? All supplied antennas for all line 6 receivers are omni- directional in the horizontal plane. Switching to the directional paddles will often improve reception.

Hey Gaz It's marked right on the receiver right next to the power pin. I don't have one in front of me but I believe that it is 200ma @ 9Vdc. Here's the deal. Often power supplies will sag even for a split second and only under the right conditions. That's why we only certify power supplies after a long QA process. The more units you have on the supply the more likely will come a time that you run low on current capacity. Now if at that moment you happen to light up an extra LED or two the tiny difference could send you into a temporary brown out. You'll get a drop out, not because the radio dropped out but rather because the power supply did. But it will feel like a radio drop. I'll bet this has happened a fair number of times and blame accessed to the wrong cause. Digital electronics will not give you any warning. If it were analog you would start to hear the sound deteriorating but digital will stay at 100% until it drops to zero. So all of that said, when I plan systems I always like to be able to supply double what is called out for.

Next to faulty cables broken jack is high on the list for potential problems. It's easy to step on a cable and stress the connections. Sometimes some brands of connectors don't fit together as they did in the old days when there were only 2 brands. Now there's scores of them. I would suggest first proving out your cables. Once you are positive the cables aren't faulty the. Try moving around on channels and see if the problem follows the source or follows the specific channel. And you can open a service ticket and have if checked out back at Line 6.

It's actually more like 99.5% that never have a hardware problem. As far as brand new equipment failing please there is a well known issue called infant failure mode. Please take a look at this ... http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/infantile-failure-k-infant-failure-mode/

It always the cable ;)

It would definitely be an unnecessary layer in my opinion. Besides a 32g SD card costs lunch money and a 32 gig iPad cost more than I spend for lunch in a whole week ;)

Well I guess you could, but you would likely wipe out the V75 receivers. The AP would be shoving full power into the wireless mic receivers. It directly contradicts my "best practice" note above. ;)

When you plug the adapter in you are not getting connection to the airport express. That suggests that the USB/Ethernet adapter is no working or the Ethernet cable is not working assuming that you have used the USB port in the mixer before with success.

This web board is not connected to the service department. You will need to open a service ticket following the instructions for international service at the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page.

SiWatts has the right plan. The important part is the complete reset of the Apple unit.

Are you able to create a LAN network between your airport express units and your mini mac?

Your best bet to avoid interference on either side is to set your router to run 5g ONLY. Be certain to switch off the 2.4g It's never a best practice to set a transmitter close to an unintentional receiver. If you were to run paddle antennas you could easily get some distance between the two.

There is an A/B switch built into the G90 receiver.

You may have received one that has developed hardware issues. I'd just swap it at the dealer.
