So I just bought a new 661 from Doug with the wmod. Went to see a good local Cumbia band at a food truck festie. Levels looked a little too stable and sure enough when I put the phones on, nothing but brick wall static.....I was about 20 feet from the band with split omnis at 9 feet on a riser. It even bricks during the dj music, which was not loud. Levels around 7-8 to get to -6 peaks. And overall, e band was not loud, even that close.
There is no chance I had the preset on internal mics, and gain was set to -18 phantom on. It's not the line audio OM1 or the new Gak cables, I ran those without incident a couple of weeks ago onstage 2 feet from a kick drum.
I'm thinking the 661 is bad I know Skaggs got one like that, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
