Is anyone here using the Line6 XTPRO with the M-Audio OMNI Studio ???
I've had my OMNI for 2 years now, and it's worked flawlessly, a great peice of kit for the price...
BUT, I recently bought the XTPRO....and when I hooked them up via the S/PDIF I get a strange 'noise' (ie: ground hum combined with a swirling mechanical aisling sound).....
At first, I just assumed it was the XTPRO, having a faulty SPDIF out.....so, I got a replacement unit....but alas, the SAME thing is happening with the new rig .....
So now, I'm kinda thinking that it must be the OMNI......however, I've used it with other SPDIF I/O's (recently) and it's worked just fine, no weird noise at all.
Please note,
When using the XTPRO's balanced analog OUTS to the OMNI, there is NO unwanted noise at all, a nice quite signal...and when using the SPDIF, (IF I have both the spdif and analog cables connected) it reduces that strange noise - somewhat...It was this that made me think it must be the XTPRO in the first place....cos I thought there was perhaps a faulty loop in the unit, between the anaolog/spdif connections, internally...
A penney for ya thoughts on this...
Cheers,
KEV
