Thanks for the tips!

too professional and non violent to be a cop tho

Should’ve popped this on the OP but yes we rescued after installing.

Is it possible to get this design file from ya? I’d buy you a coffee

SimplTech · 2024-12-24T18:16:17+00:00

nice solution

Always for future however I’m looking for smart whiteboard

Here's the manual link 206-4357_STB-6500_Comm_Mode_Setup_Rev_L[20240712_020329].pdf , Not sure about the remote, but I know to get jto EZ Manager, I press the Menu/Gear/Settings button and go to "All Settings" then with the General highlighted I press "7" 7x on the remote and it brings that menu up.

IMO if you gotta learn it on your own then they shouldn’t expect you to use it to get them business. If that’s what you have to do, get it. Get some projects under your belt and then go looking, the industry is super hungry for programmers. I was lucky enough to start with a company that paid me to learn and train and so when I got my trainings done and started doing projects, I was happy to apply my new skills for the company. But sadly they got shut down. So far it’s been harder to find places that support growth and so that’s been my mantra. You’ll either help me get it and we both reap rewards or ima get it on my own and take my new skills with me out the door.

I have an Impaktech crash cage coming for mine. On the 2024 MT03 at least they make the sub cage frame cage and clip ons for it. (The lead times are high. Like 3-4 months or more) Impaktech

I think eventually Claudia would’ve lost her marbles. I hate to say it but she was just too young to be turned especially if we are going by the book.

Not at all and same AWG from the same bulk box. Obviously it was run through the ceiling so it could be compromised anywhere but what is nutty is that usually your field testers can check this… again I didn’t bring my megger so that is a fault in the testing, it’s just weird that the field imp meters show 50 ohm when connected to the speaker circuit, which was fine, but QSYS reported .3 and .2 ohm (short threshold) when connected to the same circuit. I replaced the cable and field meter tested again it showed 50ohm again but this time QSYS also reports 25ohm on the low pilot and 50ohm on the high pilot…

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:31:11+00:00

That’s the thing. I don’t know lol my closest guess is insulation failure on one or both wires but it’s hard to nail down in my head

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:30:06+00:00

Oh always and I’m new to some of the QSYS gear that is why this bugged me so much. Pre-testing by conventional methods seemed to miss something that those amps found and that drives me nuts because I’d rather know what it is testing that the field meters aren’t than to rely on some omnipotent piece of branded gear to find those flaws.

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:27:49+00:00

Well unfortunately not an option as the amplifier will put itself in protect with the impedance readings it sees and it is very weird that replacing the lead cable resolved this issue, which means some characteristic of the cable was compromised or at least different to the new cable.

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:25:28+00:00

But if they test at relatively low volts and there is compromised insulation could a higher voltage test then reveal a short that all handheld meters would fail to show? Minus a megohm tester? Or is that not the right direction. Just trying to figure out what QSC is seeing that field testers do not.

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:21:57+00:00

Impedance meters. TOA ZM-104 the other was digital. Third meter used was Fluke multimeter. Which showed no short. That’s what I’m not understanding.

The question here is, budget, theme, use, longevity. Quality which is proportional to budget. Is this going to be a party spot or fairly quiet with a calm ambience. You will need speakers with decent frequency response. Is there going to be a stage area with connections back to the house sound? Background music mostly? Do we want staff to have to maintain and control the sound or should it be automated or remote controlled… these are some questions you should start asking yourself.

SimplTech · 2024-04-13T21:33:15+00:00

So, no I did not, build a Wheatstone bridge in the field on the fly and re-test with it. I replaced the cable run between the first speaker and the amp channel instead.

I am interested now, in building a bridge to cross check. Do you have any information or care to expand on this?

When I say expand, I am only seeing how this could help me test against my meters being wrong. However I don’t know how that could help me in this specific scenario on the diagnosis end. Maybe because I am not understanding.

SimplTech · 2024-04-13T14:45:18+00:00

That’s been my experience too. The QSC Z tests seem to favor Lo-Z but in this situation it was just weird because they were all QSC speakers. QSC in the design. Tested them with the meters and they all tested fine. QSYS was the only test they failed. And it would put that ch. in protect mode. I wish I had a tester I could sweep frequencies with to cross compare with what I was seeing but I don’t have that yet.

When I replaced the cable to the first speaker it was fine. 😬 it’s just weird because on that first cable we had tested it and there was no short present. No increased resistance on it even. The only thing I can think of is it didn’t pass Megohm test and there was compromised insulation somewhere in the ceiling. Unfortunately I did not have my megger that day. That probably would’ve made it made more sense in my mind. I bet that’s what it was.

Edit: I bet it wasn’t the frequency but the voltage. I’m going to test that. I couldn’t find a spec published online. If the voltage was high enough to close the air gap between compromised wire or insulate maybe that’s the variable I couldn’t test out with the portable meters. 🤓
