I have a Void Digidrive processing my foh. Last night in the first half of the concert I was doing output 1 stopped sending signal. I bypassed the LSM and plugged straight into the amp, running the PA's passive crossovers. At the break I went down to have a look and it was working perfectly. Anyone had a problem like this before? Is it time for a new LSM?

Mate in the sound game told me, if you can't afford decent LMS, get a Berry, nothing else.

After trying Mk1 Digidrive for first time ever, last week, I see his point.

Yep makes you wonder why the 50 or so SP members that use the dB-Mark of which a lot UPGRADED from the DCX are not constantly on the forum complaining how rubbish they are and bemoaning the fact that they did not spend another £2000 on a better jobby :)

No offence intended there Tony, and didn't say I fully agreed with my mate's philospohy, as I haven't tried all the sub £500 units that he has.

However in the case of the Digidrive Mk1, I was much better off with a DCX.

However seems there are many "turds" in the upto £350 bracket, with DCX being one of the safer gambles.

I dont really know if the particular void digidrive is the same series as xilica xp4080 which i use with my system,but xilica is far superior from berry dcx which i used many times in the past.
I ve also heard strange things about digidrive but never had issues with xilica products even in conditions where power was jumping up and down..

tbh there isn't a chance I'd buy a dcx. can't afford to buy gear that I know will cause problems.

I've had no problems ever with DCX,  but have decided to move on anyway.

Problem is, it seems "many" of the used/new LMS in price range upto £400, do not offer the same functionality, size of screen, ease of use as the DCX.
