I'm afraid you've misunderstood. You thought the problem was related to the firmware and Arne and I have both pointed out that the problem is probably hardware related. Your problem is not a "known issue" but rather like caused by the failure of some electronic component.

Probably ... it is somewhat dependent on the size of the room. At least it should be a good starting point. The problem in these rooms is that exactly where you stand will determine how much low bass you hear. Move a bit more than a meter away and the difference could be 20 dB in the level of 50 Hz. Once the room is bigger than about 2000m3 (70,000ft3) it won't matter as much. Especially if the smallest dimension of the room is more than 6m (18ft). Remember that in small rooms the acoustics will play a big part in the sound of the room and you cannot successfully make much change with EQ. It requires acoustic treatment. In really big rooms the acoustics don't matter much and outdoors the sound is not affected (unless you get bounce back from walls, etc.

As far as I am aware, there is no way to switch off the 2.4G from Airport express. Maybe some hacker has done it if you search the internet. But if you find it please let me know :)

Forgot to ask ... What firmware version are the speakers running. The latest is 1.05. You can read it in the mixer just go to the setup page like you were going to upgrade them. It will read out there.

Yeah ... wireless can sound great when unshackled from companders ;)

That kind of a problem is probably not the mixer and that's why cycling it doesn't help. Try cycling the speakers. Generally this kind of problem is mechanical and caused by a plug losing connection with the jack in a speaker. Once it does all the rest of the link will try to enumerate which can take a few minutes to reset. It's usually quicker to cycle the speakers.

I don't know what all the pieces are to your system, but if you are willing to take the big sonic hit by moving to an analog wireless why not consider just getting rid of the preamp and dealing with the EQ the other end. It would have much less impact to the sound quality. Running your pickups to the TBP6/12 acts as a buffer and you will simply get a lo-Z representation of that signal from the output jack of the receiver.

Not without reinventing the wheel. Even if you did the run time would probably be less than one hour.

Do not use RF2 mode unless you can control all wi-fi in your venue.

You could get some noise (hiss/buzz) when squeezing the beltpack from side to side, even with no mic plugged in. Mode didn't matter.

Correct. The mixer's primary function is to be a live sound mixer. So it has to perform all of those duties, and a operate a screen and making onboard recording before it has time to then act as an interface. It is unlikely that there will ever be much or any improvement to the latency encountered when trying to use is as an audio interface. It was never intended to be one.

That may be normal depending on what the walls are made of. Does it otherwise work normally? Outdoors?

Yes, you can mix Relay and XD-V units as long as you work within the possible channel count. You can use 12 channels in RF1 mode and up to 14 channels in RF2 mode. But to do so in RF2 mode usually requires that you are not running any 2.4G wi-fi in the same space and that you can maintain that control.

Do you know what RF mode you are operating in? Have you gone through the troubleshooting guide in the FAQ?

It doesn't matter very much. You should keep the cable as short as possible and use a good quality, low capacitance cable if possible.

Our customer service is trying to connect with you to resolve the problem. Can you please PM me your phone number.

I think this is probably not the problem. Since you seem to have some difference between RF1 and RF2 mode operation, that problem would happen in both modes.

There is a quick and easy test to see if you have lost the ground connection. With nothing plugged into any input jack just look on the screen. If the ground has been lost an input would appear on the screen. Are you getting a screen full of inputs when nothing is connected? The ground you show is accurate, but it is only one of two redundant grounds. The other ground is made when the jack is pulled into the chassis withe the bolt. Two sharp pins, part of the jack, pierce the chassis. This is the method used by most manufacturers for products in this range. So what would the outcome be if the ground was lost? Well for regular full balanced microphone and line sources probably nothing. A ground connection is not needed. If you had a phantom powered mic it would probably not power up. Only unbalanced inputs would be lower in level and possibly a bit buzzy sounding as well.

Any Line 6 dealer can order the transmitters for you. It is part number 98-033-0003. If you need to increase the distance between transmitter and receiver it is beat done by using remote paddle antennas and moving them closer to the transmitter. If that is not possible then specialty antennas can be employed. Selecting them is somewhat job specific. But almost any super directional 2.4G antenna can be used. You will need to allow for cable losses and connectors. http://www.rfvenue.com/rf-venue-24-ghz-microphone-helical-antenna http://www.l-com.com/wireless-antenna-24-ghz-yagi-antennas

Two years old is definitely running in RF1 mode so if you have no interference and you cannot make the switch you logically also must have RF1 mode running. Anyone running a mix of both modes will likely have very unreliable performance with lots of dropouts. All versions of transmitters will display the mode they are running in, but what you can see will depend on what version of firmware you have installed.

Thinking about this a bit more ... I was only thinking about switching with the mixer which it will not do. You can do it with a HD500x as part of a preset. What you do is manually switch the speaker and then save it as part of a preset. It will then recall the change when you switch to that preset. There is no visual indication on the POD but you will see the LED switch on the cabinet itself. But there isn't a command on the HD500x that will switch it over

That is not the sign of a firmware problem. If it was firmware related it would happen in all units. It might be a hardware issue or equally it could be a AC line issue. But you could send it in and get it checked.

There's not difference is sound quality between units. So the decision would be strictly the difference between features that you might need. Usually condenser mics have a XLR preamp added. You can probably remove it and then just wire it to a ta4f connector. The mics don't inherently use phantom power and are more at home use g the bias voltage provided by the beltpack.

Yes please ... Let us know. It would add about $100 to the price of a G90.

Hardware wise they are identical, only the firmware is different. So yes, you can use a headset with the Relay model.
