That doesn't sound right. Which RF mode are you running in? You should probably run in RF 1 mode. That said, if you moved the paddle antennas a few meters away from the dongle it should nt be having any effect on performance. That would make me think you might have a different problem. The sure fix would be to use an external router and run it on 5G ONLY. A Belkin N600 router (not dongle) or similar would be a good choice.

Updating your systems certainly couldn't hurt although it may not solve your dilemma.

You would get better performance by not point your antennas straight up. they need to each be spayed out by 45 degrees (in a "V"). I hope you don't ever leave the transmitters in that holder. They will have problems if they are on and that close together. Also you should not leave any active transmitters within 6 feet of the antennas (paddles would help that as well ). Scanning for wi-fi channels doesn't really tell you very much that is useful. Line 6 channels (4 per user channel) are scattered across the band and in the guard bands. I have seen a few instances where big hotels use illegal jammers to blot out the 2.4G band (so that you have to pay them to free it up and use your own equipment). Have you ever had this problem before in a different venue? XDV-70/75 receivers will power the Line 6 paddle antennas so you don't need anything else. So I still don't if they all pop at the same time or randomly.

Could these pops possibly be dropouts? If so you would see all green LEDs go off and switch to Red on the RF ladder on the receiver. I suspect the pops are not caused by RF interference. Do they occur randomly across all five systems or just in a single system? Just double checking that you are using the factory mic capsules and power supplies, correct? What firmware version are you running (both TX & Rx)? If it is just in one system there may be a hardware failure in that system. If in all systems that probably rule that out as it would be highly unlikely to have 5 defective units. You should also check for mechanical issues. Possible you have a transmitter where the mic capsule is not making solid contact with the transmitter body. Check the pogo pins. You also need to rule out that the pop is being induced into the output cables. When the pops occur can you see them in the LED meters on the receivers? As far as scanning ... the scanner only indicates RF2 channel availability and can't tell you anything relevant about RF1 channel availability. In RF1 it doesn't really matter in a practical sense as long as you are not very near any wi-fi access points or transmitters. Adding P180 antennas would probably be a big advantage in your situation. The first thing is that if you use the whip antennas in the middle of your rack they will only be a few feet off the ground. That's usually a bad thing for line of sight. Using paddles will allow you to get them 6-8 feet up in the air where they should have an unobstructed path. also they have a "dead side" and you can use that to your advantage by pointing the dead side at known interferers (WAPS). Also the diversity aspect of any wireless receivers works much better when the distance between antennas is 6 wavelengths apart (or more). The way your's are using the half rack spacing is only one wavelength.

I would not expect to hear vocals from the top speaker. That is normal for this system.

There's no way to know what went wrong from here. You should open a service ticket and get it checked out.

Yes the top driver is woofer 1. Try playing a test tone at 100hz and then take a listen

I wouldn't expect any problems especially if your instrument has a built-in preamp. A five foot cable would be untypical long so you would probably have to have it custom made. Do a search for Ta4f to 1/4" and you should find a number of suppliers than can build you a custom cable. Alternately you could use a 3' 1/4"F to 1/4" M extension cable with the factory supplied cable.

Compression on vocals is always tricky in a live situation although you likely hear tons of it on recordings. So while it smooths out the vocals it also brings up the amount of leakage from the stage in the vocal channel and lowers the potential gain before feedback by however many dBs of compression you are applying. So in some situations you can use a lot and in some you can use very little if any. It all depends. "De-essing" is a common use of dynamic EQ. It is usually not as versatile with most mixers as the way it occurs in Stagescape. So you can dial it in to do similar jobs as Rick pointed out.

It happens sometimes. Every unit is run through a bunch of tests at the factory. But sometimes shipping causes problems. Also new parts are most likely to fail in the first few hours of operation. It's a well known phenomenon with electronics and that's why factories provide warranties. The average failure rate for musical Instruments is about 2%. so if you buy 100 new pieces of electronic gear chances are that about 2 of them will have problems. The average for Line 6 wireless is about one half of one percent.

If it's new I'd recommend taking it back to the dealer and swapping it for another new one.

Red bars when the Tx is off are normal.

You may have a defective unit but it could be something else. Have you gone through the troubleshooting guide in the FAQ? If you paid $600 for it you paid about double what everyone else did. I'd look around

There could be if they get close to each other. There will be crosstalk. It's always a matter of degree. Everything that you do that is less than optimum will reduce your range. But your range is usually well better than required so you may not notice any issues. OTOH I always do everything I can to minimize problems because you never can tell the situation might change. So to interconnect receivers using the antenna in/outs I would strongly recommend the use of LMR-195. You could get away with using RG58 to run paddles back to the receivers provided the cables weren't run together (as in if they were coming from opposite directions).

Yes. The LMR cables have a double shield which results in about 50 dB of additional protection.

Your feedback is happening because the lows coming from the system are getting back into your microphones. You need to either turn down your mics, turn down your lows or move the speakers further way from the microphones. (or all three). You could also try turning down the lows on the mic channels.

Correct. "Loudness" is a perception based on "average" sound pressure levels. The electronics are limited by "peak" levels. So in this case it appears that your peak-to-average signal is too high for the speaker to reproduce the average level you desire. What you need to do is reduce your peak levels from your source. It looks like you are simply overdriving the inputs of the speaker and probably the outputs of your preamp by thumping. This probably wouldn't be happening if you were micing the guitar as a microphone wouldn't be fast enough to let the transients pass through. So reducing the peak input will probably allow you to turn up the average loudness level by a pretty big factor. Could be 2- 4 times as loud as it now is.

I would expect you would be able to run in RF2 mode ... but you will have to co-ordinate channels. If you put your wi-fi on channel 1 then you should be able to run on Line 6 channels 1-5 without difficulty. This will depend on the quality of rf filtering with your router and might be a problem if your G30 transmitter is within 1-2m of the router. You might run into trouble if there are other wi-fi channels running in the same venue and will have to test for it. You could also switch your router to ch13 in Europe and then find Line 6 channels in RF1 mode. Or to take care of it once and for all, you could switch your wi-fi for your mixer/iPad network to run 802.11n or a/c and run on 5G with the 2.4G turned off. This should also make your wi-fi run twice as fast and likely also isolate you from other wi-fi in the room and from the audience.

A Kick sample has a much smaller dynamic range even thought eh "loudness" may be the same. The first thing to try is to turn way down and see if the problem ever goes away. If it does then (assuming you don't have an unlikely hardware issue) then you are either clipping the input or less likely driving the speaker out of the gap. Try playing a recording of your guitar through and see if it causes the same problem. That will give us a clue.

Yes, the "models" all live with their respective transmitters.

While it's not likely, there is always the possibility that you have a defective unit. Each and every unit goes through a whole battery of tests before shipping but sometimes brand new components fail early in their first few hours of use. This is common to all electronics. More likely is that you have some other issue with local interference. Have you gone through the troubleshooting guide on the FAQ page? Are you still operating in RF2 mode (default out of the box). That is the most common reason for problems. In RF2 mode you must understand the local wi-fi conditions handset up accordingly. Try switching to RF1 ...

It is difficult to diagnose a unit over the Internet. You could send it in and we would know for certain but all u can do from here is guess. My wild guess is that the channel slider switch had been damaged but since it is new I would just return it and get s properly working unit.

Did it ever work correctly and then changed? I would return it to your dealer and get it exchanged.
