Glad you’re back up and running…
Our Dante card just arrived this evening, so I’ll be installing and repatching tomorrow.
Thanks for the vids and insight!!!
@@HeyCarlCampbell Love that for you guys! Praying your install goes well!!
Glad the Avantis is back.
Love the content! Please give us more!
Try a layer 1 fiber converter, it would isolate electrical signals and prevent it from traveling down the line. Typically its power through the Ethernet port from the coax coming into the building into the modem not the actual house power!
I work at an A&H service center and the parts for the Avantis are constantly back ordered with an ETA of 6+ weeks. The diagnostic and actual repair part only takes 2-5 hours to do.
I’m glad it is working out for you and reminds me to always have a backup plan.
@@Ncuab are Avantis’ failing more than we realize? More than any other model?
Finally you got it back nice.
We lost a console when the church was struck my lightning and it seems the surge also came through the network port. We absolutely unplug all power, network, and SLink ports between uses every time now. It's just not worth the risk. These consoles are too expensive to take changes. Of course insurance paid (nearly 30k in our case), but it's never fun to have to go through that process.
@@BrianSimmons In a normal world, I would completely agree. That said, with a team of 6 audio techs ranging wide in age and none of them having an understanding of how the network and such works, as well as having to get behind the broadcast desk, it’s just not realistic. Not to mention our Awana recreation happens in the worship center and our leadership insists on firing up the entire system for them to have 1 microphone on Wednesday nights. So to having a children’s volunteer messing with the console is just not an option. I usually spend Wednesdays up stairs in the youth area guiding our youth AVL volunteers and leading a small group which means I can’t be hands on in both places…
All of that said to say, I agree, but I can’t facilitate that in an efficient and effective manner, and man does it stink.
I’m super glad you guys had insurance to handle it though.. a lot of churches are self insuring now which basically means you still eat the replacement cost. I need to confirm with Allen & Heath but I’m assuming that this warranty work would extent our warranty (at least for the work that was done) should be extended by a little bit.
Hey,
as to the network side there are rj45 surge protectors that you could look at using they are specifically designed to protect equipment from surge currents that come over rj45 (ethernet) cables
@@gamingforlive2150 I’ve been looking for this sort of thing but haven’t pulled the trigger because I can’t find any documentation or research on how it effects s-link or Dante protocols. Any idea on how those interact?
@@Marshall_Swift
Unfortunately i haven't had the opportunity to work with Dante or s-link but theoretically speaking those protectors shouldn't interfere or interact with the signal in any way as it should only carry of any unusual high voltages. A possible alternative could be to use Media converters in between as a Fiber optical line physically speaking cannot carry any voltages although that would be more costly and would take quiet a bit of effort to pull based on the fact that you have a permanent installation.
@@gamingforlive2150 I’ll will definitely check out the rj45 surfer protectors. I have two ubiquiti switches on the way to do network expansion. There will be one on both ends and I’m hoping that since there PoE and those ports are all grounded that this could be a potential solution as well
@@Marshall_Swift I dont belive that the Grounding will keep you save as it only grounds the Shield but any current can also "rush in" over any of the other wires
