Okey

[Bob Zelin]

please don’t tell me that you have the Kona LHe XLR outputs connected directly to powered speakers with no mixer, or audio attenuator –

No, the XLR from the Kona LHe KL-Box goes into my Mackie mixer. This is then connected via XLR to my Genelec speakers.

I have a XLR to mono-tele (don’t know if that’s the correct english word, “large mono headphone cord”) converter to the mixer since the XLR-connectors there are powered.

I didn’t have this issue at all on another Kona LS system (different machine), a small “tick” was eminent sometime with v 2.01 of the Kona software. But this is a loud “pop-pop” that reads out on the mixer’s led.

More tests show:
– the pop-issue only happens during SD to HD switching on the Kona LHe board. This is a huge problem. A semi-solution is to have SD as my standard framebuffer and get the “pop” everytime I open a HD show

Note that the “pop-pop” is visible on the ref-monitor as well with the screen jumping, green flashes and all…

I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy too.

Bob-
If I’m going xlr out of Kona LHe to XLR in to my powered audio monitors — this is balanced to balanced audio…
I’m not an engineer/tech type, so can you tell me why this is no good, and why I’d need an attenuator?
Thanks,
Bruce
