Art,   Do you have a 100W dummy load?  If so, have you tried calibrating the PA using the PA Settings Tab on the Setup Form?  The calibration isn’t perfect, but it should be within ~5W or so around 100W output.    Eric     -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto

As Bill noted, based on your description, I would suspect that your Input 1/2 is reversed. On the Delta 44, all of the Tip connections (gray on our cables) go to the odd channels while the Ring connections (orange on our cables) go to the even channels. Getting them backwards would put you listen
