I thought this a while back also, but upon more research it doesn’t really ruin it, the band sending the the signal out should already have phantom power anyways, I believe my last show the FOH had Phantom power, but It really didn’t effect anything

I can say pretty accurate, once I cross the box at 180* flat, then the mids and highs disappear

@@seantallica2020 o ok.

I bought them off of EBay: 3PCS STMicroelectronics L7805CV Voltage Regulator IC REG LINEAR 5V 1.5A TO220AB

@@MrFosamax hmm, I have not run into that issue. I’ll look into that.

I looked this mixer up on reverb, it was already faulty(inputs 1-12 were not working). I also did research and learned that the 3v was the problem, over long periods of time of use the 3v regulator will give out. It’s been quite a while now in my practice room using this mixer, and I’ve had 0 dropouts, all the auxes, and channels are working just fine! And I understand that if you are in a middle of a show, you do not want the mixer to drop out. I haven’t seen another video stating; “5V regulator did not work” but I always take a back up 16 channel(XR18)

@@seantallica2020 Appreciate the response, the regulators you replaced look like the 5 volt regulators. The part number you posted is for the 5 volt regulators, and many videos showing them going bad.

@@seantallica2020 The part you posted is for the 5 volt regulator, not sure about the 3 volt. Others have posted the same exact same problem, it seems to be pretty common. So am getting them replaced before i put it in service.

@@seantallica2020 Many Videos out there that shows the Presonus mixers replacing the 5V regulators with the 7805.

It had worked the first time, ironically they had a M32 lol, we have many shows coming up as we do and the near end of the year, and since we already ran a show, the gain is set and forget anyways, after these shows I may make an update on how these shows went

Can you make a video about this specific trick? I’ve ran into the problem in the past where I felt like I’ve gain staged everything well & that it sounded good in our iems but in the louder parts, usually for the vocals or guitars, we’d get some distortion from the PA. Wasn’t sure if it was user error on our end or if the foh was still adding even more gain.

@@landog9029 I have a show coming up, and we are doing this exactly, I will see if I have time, I believe I have about 30 min to change over so the band should help

@@seantallica2020 Thanks for all your experience with this. Can you update us on if the compressor make up gain introduces any weird extra noise? I like the idea of using the channels' compressors as the XAir's "preamp" knob for our IEM's.

Sadly the main issue is any Gain you changed, set, establish, will be effected at the line send outs. There really is no way to send pre-gain. However, it’s best if you leave the gain set from the start, and if you are doing the set up I am doing now(DN->FOH) what I discovered is since you send the Tap/In to FOH, you can add Make-Up gain back in from the Compressors on the channels, you basically add more gain without affecting the FOH! On the show where I first used this, there was an issue where all the band mates had all the channels turned up; since I lowered the gain by -5dB so the FOH can control, it was a pressing issue, but I figured to set there bus channels Pre-fader, and add the Make-Up gain on the compressors, then we did not need to push the faders up, and in my case, I liked the way certain instruments sounded adding Make-Up gain after the EQ! Hope that helps!

Im glad you also do something similar! For me I like having physical snakes, instead of the SR8s, since most of the band members can plug in the tails instead of worrying about the shielded Ethernet wire.

As stated on the tech rider that I have a 10’ snake, and if they do not have one I have a personal 100’ foot 16channel snake needed, that why I let them know in a week of advance so if they have any questions. 90% of sound companies have stage boxes, and even snakes on stage.

Thank you so much! Comparing the Mackie and Behringer xr18, I feel like it’s like driving a truck without CarPlay in it, you can still get to point A to point B, but I prepare the newer one with CarPlay since it has more features, that’s how I think. They are digital mixers, and they do almost exactly the same, 18 in, 6 aux and LR, but the XR18 has more FX features, and the Mackie feels dated to me, even on Mixing station where it’s the same UI across the board! If I had to choose to run a gig, I’d choose Behringer. Hope that helps!

@@seantallica2020 Thanks for that feedback Sean, That helps!

What crowd sizes and music type did you use them for?

I didn’t really find a forum, I so happened to find it on KZbin, the main issue is the voltage regulators on the factory board, I believe it is 3v, instead of the 5v I put in, as for the USB I have not tried that, since I do have the FireWire version I’m not worried about, maybe if I got my hands on the updated ones I could help more.

Have you tried the TRS on channel 8 also?

@@davellbruton1901 the first time using these towers I did not know how to set the level, but there are a lot of people scared to raise even over 1dB, so here is what I learned this year: Towers first, I set the treble to +2dB, mid to 0 dB, and sub to +2 dB, and the output volume to +3dB. As for the 2 12” subs I set output volume at +3dB, and the HPF at 120Hz these were not ran on a different aux I run mono on all my shows, so these were linked into input-mix out, to each one of those Hope that helps!

@@seantallica2020 Thank you for the information. from what I could tell the system sounds good.

I learned from a fellow KZbinr named Micheal Curtis, he does a better explanation than me!

@@seantallica2020 Hi friend, I know who you are talking about but my problem is that I don't speak English so I don't understand Michael Curtis. I used Google Translate to communicate with you. I don't know if you can recommend me someone who speaks Spanish.

@@alexc2234 there is a Bluetooth setting that may have effected the EQ, Delay, and gain of the speaker!

@@jonmessenger5621 thank you for this comment here. Non musicians don’t know what it takes to set up a show, or even a great show. I’d rather have a bad technical issue, than musicians fighting with each other!

​@@seantallica2020I completely understand. I've experienced both sides of that. You have a great group of people and each one of you are so blessed to have each other. Never take that for granted. Thank you for your reply. I will continue to watch your videos. Blessings to all of you. Take care and may God bless 🙏✝️🙏

Yamaha CHR12M

I will definitely show it!

@@FOHFILMS thank you for confirming! It what I had left over and thought they didn’t work, but I do still have the old drivers, and A-B testing it you can tell the old one has no clarity.

@@SuAmigoElilegal I dip at 60 on the Electric bass so there isn’t any conflict on both

I just bought the 16.0.2 USB also several days ago, and took it to the shop to have the 5V regulators replaced. I Have not even used it yet, I looked up many Videos, and it is a very common issue with these mixers to have the 5V regulators go bad

Instead of the band playing and soundchecking, I asked them to play 4 songs, did levels of genre, and I recorded it and played back when they were off and it worked fine! I use TracksLive

​@@seantallica2020 I would definitely really use that.Hopefully you can make tutorials on how you set it up actually from recording to DAW then playing it to FOH.

It’s been a while since this gig, but I used to gate the vocals, but now I don’t, I use the vintage reverb on the Vox, and do about -3 dB of vocal compression

​@@seantallica2020can you make a video of how you compress the vox,EQ and settings for your Reverb effects?

@@AndyGeroldMusic on the p16 out is it set to input on all? I haven’t had an issue with that, I always muted in the xr18, and on my Midas m 32, and still had signal, I’ll do some research

@@seantallica2020 I have the outputs set to input. Do they need to be set to "analog"

@@AndyGeroldMusic I believe so, it has been a while since I used the unit, but that should work, on Analog, only the gain will effect the signal, let me know if it works!

Yes, definitely! I’ve used this in big buildings, and long halls! I recommend having the height at least 6’ so it will throw farther

My personal opinion I’m not too much of a fan of it, we recently moved in with the mixer and stuck with the m32C as main FOH, and Monitors, I didn’t like the physical gain knobs, and the DL felt slow to me, but it is a good digital mixer for simple uses

I will see what I can do!

This would help so much🙏

I see a lot of issues containing that, outputs, and inputs, it seems like it’s this board, the 16.4.2, and the 32.4.2, I feel like they got something wrong in making these, of course the newer ones are wayyyyyy better

Yes, I believe they are the EV Evolve 50
