I have 2 L1 Model II towers with 2 bass subs per tower. I’m using an Allen and Heath board to send the signal. I’ve checked the board on my keyboard, roland vdrums and bass and they are not peaking…I’ve checked the towers and they are green with a signal but I’m still getting distortion especially with the drums…any idea what is going on?
Hi Gregrpbc
Can you describe the distortion?
You said especially with the Drums. What else is distorting?
If you watch the various signal indicators
- input trims on the mixer input strips
- output master on the mixer
- input on the L1®
Is there ANY point at which these turn red for example, when you are hitting the Drums?
On the L1® components - red typically means you are well into, or really close to clipping.
Do you have anything else in the signal chain?
- T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine
- outboard processors?
- external preamps?
- aural enhancer?
- anything?
Do you have any way to record the output from the mixer, or monitor the mixer output through headphones?
If you do that, can you hear the distortion that way?
