We seem to be having a systematic problem with comms. This Clearcom RS-501 pack has failed by carbonizing a resistor, and burning the talk LED (the lamp wasn't illuminated to my knowledge, reverse voltage?)
After a four hour run for this evening rehearsal, the box went dead. I suspected the cable was at fault, so we fetched another XLR of similar length and patched it in. At this time, I talk successfully for about 45 seconds, unlatch talk, and put it down.
Fast forward about a minute, the musical director has the headset on, and the unit on her lap. She then proceeds to panic and flip s*** as the box starts smoking.
(I've been told this is the same behavior as some other packs we've had.)
I'll add images after I crop them down, this new phone spits out massive images...
