Your board with a clearcom built into it? Or are you somehow
feeding intercom audio into your board?


Some do, though you don't see it very much any more. I didn't realize
that the Mackie large format consoles had this feature.

According to the pdf manual it does have built-in Clearcom support -

never seen that before on an audio mixer/console, a handy thing to have

for live sound or permanent installs in theatres/etc...

Something important to keep in mind with Clearcom (the garden variety
single channel stuff anyway) is that it's unbalanced audio as well as DC
signaling on pin 3 and +30v on pin 2. Ground is fortunately still pin 1.

When you see a call light flashing it often means that somewhere in the
system the wires for pins 2 and 3 are touching (kinked cable, stretched
cable at an XLR connector, etc).

When you see the call light turn on solid when plugging in a certain
cable or beltpack, often means that you have a "reversed polarity"
cable. (often refered to as "out of phase" but that's a topic for
Google, it's been discussed too many times).

As with any system, if it all seems wrong, start with the most basic
configuration (i.e. the power supply, one XLR cable , one
beltpack/headset) and see if that works properly. Then add ingredients
and stir till you find the culprit(s).


Good luck
Paul
