Default Re: Does Anyone Have Experience With Comtek?

An update, and a bump.

The receiver doesn't pick up the radio anymore. It quit doing that after one show. I was in there the other day to do some regular maintainence, and nothing I tried would get it to repeat the symptoms (don't you love troubleshooting intermittent problems?). I'm chalking it up to a fluke of nature, but it does have me concerned that this could rear its ugly head again.

Also, any ideas on what would make a Shure KSM109 die? These are brand new, just bought at the beginning of summer. We used them on one show so far, and in the middle of the first public performance, the mic stops outputting audio, and just puts white noise down the line. Switched it out for a different, test again after show, mic works. I thought maybe someone got a bit too much spit in the element. But now it's making nothing but fuzz again. Any thoughts here? Oh, and I can't get it open to check out and see if any little bits look like they might have been fried. I do plan on calling Shure tomorrow. Thanks guys.
