Re: DD20 odd behaviour: high-pitched constant whine in specific wiring situations

[Rainer Straschill <moinsound@googlemail.com>]

I haven't tried that, for one simple reason:
Having to use batteries is a showstopper from the view of my equipment 
logistics, which using unbalanced lines is not.

I have, however, in the meantime tried to connect the DD20 with TRS 
lines to the CentralStation (balanced ins), and found no noise. On the 
other hand, the Mackie with other devices works fine as well - the 
typical "swap devices and see what happens" test failed...
