  Just stumbled upon this system and it seems that it could be enough for only 1 band member. Have you tried maybe tried it live? I have returned the NUX (which is beautifull system, well thought through but with crappy sound and hissing like angry cat). Is this loud enough with no hiss? Thanks a lot

  Hey man I really appreciate your input on dbx products, but a lot of people having issues with dbx venue 360 and PA2, overtime this units won’t pass the logo screen and require hard resets or even connect to a pc and wipe and install the running software, sometimes this steps don’t even work and you need to just throw away the unit, my humble opinion about dbx at this moment is that they are partnered with Chinese companies and everything they make right now is absolute garbage.!.!

• 
  @therockstudio3 ай бұрын

  I have experienced this as well. I'd check/change the cables on the zc-bus. I think this happens when there's interference within the cat cable. Say your volume is on controller 1, source is on controller 2. Even though the controls are separate and may even be wired to a Break out Box individually, they still share the same 8 conductor cable, even just by virtue of the connector. So if the cable is damaged, or there is a place where the insulation is a little thin, maybe two conductors are getting close together, your control input coming across conductor 1 can now bleed into conductor 2- and now the ZonePro thinks you're sending two commands on two different controllers. Hope this helps.

• 
  @therockstudio3 ай бұрын

  Hi, are you talking about a wireless microphone? There's a couple steps that you can take: try elevating your receivers so they're not blocked by anything, including people. Maybe get them a little bit higher and try to keep them as close to the microphones as possible obviously. Otherwise, the next step for you would be to buy a set of external antennas for your receivers. If you are wondering what you should buy for your device, write down the model numbers and the frequencies and then call an audio shop like Sweetwater or fullcompass and one of the sales people can help you. Otherwise you can let me know what model number you have and I can try to help.

• 
  @therockstudio11 ай бұрын

  @@benspinks342 yeah, sometimes I'll check the voltage across the capacitor, but since it acts almost like a static charge, I'm not sure how accurate that reading is. Maybe an electrical engineer can chime in. But since I'm not an electrical engineer, I always err on the side of caution and just drain them. Many air conditioning guys tell me they just put a screwdriver across the contacts, and that shorts out the capacitor - which decreases its life / destroys it and the screwdriver - because it creates a giant spark, so don't do that. Follow the steps in my video, grab yourself a nice big resistor and some alligator clips, you can get them very cheap from anywhere online, or if you have an electronic supply shop in town, that would be a great place to start.

  Craziest thing is that I’ve been installing these since 2004 when they came out, and at the time there was no other unit which could do even close to what a ZonePro does that didn’t involve having to be a sound engineer to operate. These are designed with the retail space GM as the operator, and they are excellent at that. Oh, so I’ve installed maybe 50 or so of these units, always the 640 or 1260, and have never had one single failure. I was responding to a concern from a client and just for kicks I looked up, “do dbx ZonePros ever fail?” And this popped up. I’ve also never noticed them running hot. In fact I’ve never installed a fan and they are always mounted directly on top of the Crown amps, driving JBL Control 25 or 28 speakers and sometimes C26s for bathrooms. This combo has proven dead reliable. Most often any problems end up being user error. Someone may have added IT stuff to the rack and accidentally left an IEC cable just loose enough to become intermittent, or touched a network cable just right to cause the same, even though I stress test everything when buttoning up a rack, meaning I pull and push and twist all cables to assure there are no bad connections. Usually someone has rubbed against a ZC knob and broken it, or some wise guy has muted the zone on the face of the unit or turned off an amp or something like that. I have had a few Crown amps die, but that was because the client left it on for like three or five years and when power went out or it got turned off for whatever reason, it wouldn’t power back up. Crown tech said a cap in the start up sequence will cook itself if left on forever. But at that only two amps have done that, and most clients just leave them in even when I implore them to let them cool off once in a while. The knobs are not potentiometers by the way, which would be analog in nature. Digital versions are called encoders. It changes code. Duh. I’ve had one develop an bad connection at the mic/line input level selection button next to the gain knob. That’s it. Sometimes the screen loses contrast. Usually a factory reset fixed that even. I’ve had one where the manager needed to shut off the unit and let it discharge its caps, and then turn it back on 90 seconds later and it was fixed. It was not responding to input changes on a ZC8. I’ve had ZCs outside at a bar on immediately over salt water, telling the client that location would ruin it and I gave it one year to last. That was 2005. Still works, covered in grenadine and all. Sometimes the LED will fail, but not really, it just falls out of the lense. Put it back out a drop of superglue on it and all fixed. Network cables not cleanly terminated have been my biggest issue, so I e learned to get good at that, and no more of those issues. So. Thanks. I guess I’m lucky or just not hearing about it when they fail. I’ve not heard from some clients in ten years and assumed some other sales guy talked them into something else, but no, they just had to remove it for a remodel and asked which wires went where, I talked them through it, and saved a two hour drive for repair. Other companies sell maintenance plans. I sell a promise that it will be the last gear they buy for many years with no number given, but start listing off places which have been trouble free for 5,7, 10+ years and they are convinced. My lousy salesmanship has gotten me a 95% closure rate on prospective sales. Can anyone touch that? It’s called trust, and especially when it’s a referral, which they all are, they trust me before they meet me. I’ll never be rich from a service plan, but my clients trust my word without question.

  Well, quite the yarn! Thanks for commenting. I don't do service plans either, I sell and install equipment that will last for a very long time. I am in the deep south, on the Atlantic, so we have very hot weather most of the year, very humid all year. That's why I've been installing fans on all of my zonepros, they are lasting longer now. If fact (hope I don't jinx it) I don't think I've had more than one failure since I started doing so. Every one I've ever installed will run hot, uncomfortable to touch. Like you said, you must be lucky.

  I made a little notch on the side of the plastic tip of a solder sucker. Apply heat to the solder work, position the solder sucker while the solder iron tip is still on the solder (creates a seal), then pull the sucker trigger and immediately pull the solder iron tip away with a little tilt motion. It's quick! Alcohol cleanup step is quicker also, you don't have all the rosin from the wick.

  Can you see the device on your network, without using the Zonepro designer? Like, have you tried scanning the network with a tool like Advanced IP Scanner or Fing? I'd first recommend restarting the units, then disconnecting the one that works properly, maybe there's a conflict? So just make note of the IP address for the good unit, then unplug it. Then restart, and plug-in each of the other devices individually, and try to find their IP addresses. Chances are, the IPs just changed to something crazy, and just have to be reconfigured. That's why it's important to have the USB to serial adapter! You can always get in to the device with serial, not always with ethernet.
