pantherairsoft Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1320762212' post='1430983'] I could be wrong, but I don't think that disconnection of the ground on an XLR is dangerous - otherwise why would all DI boxes / DI outputs etc allow this. Don't confuse this with disconnecting the ground on a mains lead - this IS dangerous, since if there is a fault and there is no earth on a piece of equipment (which would be the case if the lead had no earth), the metal case would become live. So, try it - as long as it is a signal lead and not mains, you will be fine. [/quote] Oh yeah! That makes sense. Can you tell I studied English Literature & Theatre as opposed to anything technical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 haha. Fingers crossed. Shame you can't just borrow another power amp. Could Nottingham PA lend you one quickly - they are just downstairs from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought to pop in and see John. Little more discussion with Dan @ GigRig and he seems pretty confident that the Stereo cable is the issue. I'll find out in the morning, But as I understand, the Preamp has a left and right out and should take a MONO output from either. In the words of Dan - "trs is where the problem is, if the earth from the output is where the ring is, then you’ll have no ground to the power amp, open circuit, buzz…….." If it's that easy, I'll be a happy man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Solved. As above. Using a mono cable was all that was needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Why would you be using a stereo cable anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Because that's what was available at the time and the general census seemed to be 'it would make no difference'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I heard it this morning. Sounds massive. Shep has the worlds heaviest (weight wise) pedal board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
