The super big extension cord might be the answer if you are getting much voltage drop. They (as are most things digital) a bit sensitive to low voltage.

It's another one of those "It all depends" answers ;) What exactly do you hope to gain? There is both compression ratio and threshold to consider. So you could use a very low ratio (say 1.4:1) but set the threshold 15-20 dB low Or you could set the ratio higher (4:1) but set the threshold at 0 or above. As you noted, if you are feedback challenged you probably will have very little room to operate without causing yourself a lot of problems. Also remember that a compressor effectively turns up all the unwanted junk and leakage that your mic picks up. So my best suggestion not knowing anything about the particulars of your situation would be (assuming a rock band performance) to leave if off or set the threshold very high (0 or above) with a ratio of 4 or less. If you can "hear" much compression I'd say you are running too much. Now if I was doing speech at a school or a house of worship then I could use a bit more to achieve the "announcer" kind of voice.

You could have a hardware issue which would need to be addressed by a service center. Are you connected via L6 link. Sometimes a bad connector in the digital chain can cause the speaker to lose it's place in line and it will recycle to try and find it. I have also seen this happen when plugged into "surge protector" AC strips. Where are you in the world ... 120 or 240 vac?

The V35 and G30 series are basically the same radio but with different packaging. Sonically it will be the same but you won't have a foot pedal type receiver. There is no difference between the signal quality or level between the balanced and unbalanced outputs. You just use the appropriate one to match the system you are plugging into.

I assume you mean as a test and not at a show :) Just no way to know from way over here. Each individual transmitter and receiver goes through a bunch of tests before they are shipped. I don't know if that's the case for the power supplies which is probably a much more likely cause of problems than the reviver itself ... but it could be anything, especially with a new out of the box unit.

I doubt it's a connection problem. When you are set to electric guitar mode the tweeter is essential shut off so the only sound you will hear is from the woofers. Now if the sound was cutting out I could suspect a speaker connection but if you are only hearing a loss of highs I'm betting it is something else. btw ... when you operate in electric guitar mode you are not getting the benefits of FRFR as you are back to effectively getting only guitar range sound.

The simple answer would be that the plug from the power supply wasn't fully engaged. I would plug it in again a few dozen times and see if the problem reoccurs.

At this point it is all speculation. You need to check it. It may have been a return to a dealer or accidentally switched there. Have you gone through the troubleshooting document? Does it work ok when not in the presence of another Relay unit? Did it work before and this is a new problem?

The fact that it's not blinking when you turn it on and that you can't switch it would seem to suggest you don't have v2 firmware installed. Will your transmitter lock up with your bassist's receiver?

You must use a XDV75 receiver as the interface. It is the only piece that has the USB port necessary to perform updates.

:D

The Relay G30/50/90 units do NOT have the "dynamic filter/downward expander. All of the XDV series and Relay G55 do but it is user switchable to off in all but the 30/35 series. The filters are in the receivers in all and not in the transmitters. Probably outside this conversation ... but there are "models" available in the XDV55/75 that adjust EQ, but again are switchable to off.

To explain the difference between Reference PA and Keyboard modes ... the frequency response is basically identical but in keyboard mode the crossover point is shifted up about an octave. That way you are hearing more out the cone driver and less from the HF driver. This is probably preferred if you are sitting very close to the speaker (backline) and would probably be described as being "less harsh". Likewise if you are sitting 50 feet away you would probably describe Reference PA mode, using the same keyboard sound, as "clearer". So it just depends on the job. Fortunately with Line 6 speakers you can make the choice that fit you best.

Not unless you are micing a jet engine ;)

From looking at the owner's manual I don't see any problems. It should just plug in and go. There are some level adjustments in the V75 editing section if you need to raise or lower the output of the mic but would expect you would not need to touch them and just use the controls on the Pioneer.

Oops ... typo :) You have to hit the front end of a TBP12 with 6 vac p-p to cause it to hard limit.

Did you get the Line 6 versions by Countryman? They add a small resistor across pins 3&4 which is similar to shorting the pins. You can check out their wiring scheme on their web page. Don't worry about the Zener diode. It's just an added protection ( but probably unnecessary)

What mics are you using?

You've caught a typo in the manual. The processing is in the receivers.

You could use the tuner out. It is identical to the main output but buffered. But you still will have a common ground connection. If that is your main problem you'll need a transformer isolated DI box. OTOH two separate receivers would also fix the problem without dragging long cables.

The map price for a G30 transmitter is $149.99 but it includes a cable that the V35 beltpack does not. Both transmitters high pass at 10 Hz. The receivers have some additional high pass options depending which one you are using.

Robert ... you're trying to make this harder than it is :). Lav and headset mics that are intended for use with wireless systems run with "bias voltage", which is an unbalanced, single ended power scheme. That power ( typically 5 volts) comes from the beltpack itself. There's no cable needed. Mics that are terminated with 3 pin XLR connectors and need power are commonly powered by "phantom power" which is either supplied by a mixer or by internal batteries. While the spec for phantom power calls for 48 volts, most everything pout there can use as low as 10 volts dc). The mixers in StageSource speakers do no supply phantom power so you cannot plug a phantom powered mic directly into them and get power for the mic. In this case you would need to use an external battery powered supply.

Yes it will. Just make sure that you are operating in the same RF mode.

There is always a trade off between visual and technical performance. The better informed you are the better your personal decision will be. As for a suit bothering the beltpack ... Shouldn't be an issue as long as it's not a suit of armor. Just for the record, I'm not saying one type of mic is better than another. I'm saying that different situations call for different tools.
