Driverack PA noise issues

Having a serious electronic garbage signal that has just started. It does not increase with gain, hut is always there...Seems to come and go. It appears to have started at the DB button on rear of unit...removed cover, sprayed some contact cleaner..problem is still there. The sound kind of sounds like a scratching record.


The only thing I did was swap out Sub amp before noticing the sound. Not sure what is going in.All preset tunings still have the noise.

Any ideas????

    Bypass the driverack and go straight to the top speakers. Problem gone? Replace the xlr cable(s) and try again. Do this until you have all the cables that you need for your complete set-up. Now patch back in the driverack.
    Is it on all outputs? Have you tried another preset?
    Write down all your settings, then do a hard reset.

    Great tips...actually thought I should bypass driverack altogether...discovered the problem to be a dirty xlr connector on my Mackie board. A little contact cleaner and some can air and I am back in business.

    Thanks...

    I don't like to end money for things I don't need. Nor to I like to end money to family members or people I don't know. Sometimes I end letters or post cards at Christmas. My wife refuses to end pants that I rip in the straddle. I have never ended bar. I don't have any patents ending. I seldom get snacks from a ending machine. When push comes to shove, everyone has to end for themselves. I end over backwards to please my wife. I haven't checked the Dow's end yet today.
