Hello,
I have an older venue with two speakers hung at the proscenium arch. I have a input box on the floor backstage by the speaker lines that is connected via snake to the booth at the back of the auditorium and up to the sound booth which is on the floor above. We've recently purchased a new Pyle digital amplifier and a Behringer x32 for the space and both have worked beautifully for the last year ...until last week.
Last week we set up for a dress rehearsal of a livestream and all was working well. When we came back the next day and turned everything on we only were able to get a faint, distorted sound out of both main speakers (we set up auxiliary speakers so actors could hear for the event and still were able to mix and record via phones connected to the board). I have since reset all board presets and replaced the line going from the box backstage to the speaker line and we still cannot get anything but a weak, distorted sound to come out through the mains. I have to requisition a man lift to get up into the grid to check the lines from the speakers, but was wondering if there were any suggestions of other things I can try before doing so? I'm probably missing something fairly obvious.
Thanks!
