Should I worry about the feedback from the monitoring playback since output and input are so close?

I would not worry about this by the design of the mic and headphone arrangement being essentially one unit, you will not get any feedback on a record and listen arrangement

never had an issue at all with that myself, works sort of like a hearing aid does

Actually, not really. I haven't really observed much in the way of feedback or bleed-through. The mics are pretty sensitive to wind/breeze, though the windscreens help quite a bit. I've seen some people talk about cable noise affecting their recording but I also haven't really observed that myself either. The only real issue is heavy wind. That can be an issue, but it's really no different with any other mic I think. Minimizing touching of the earphones and excessive yanking on the cables should go without saying though.

I haven't had any feedback issues with it in general. The only times it does is if the gain input is too high or you cover the mic (which is the way feedback happens on regular mics too).

There are two outputs for monitors. One is for un-powered and one for powered but they are controlled by the same mixer

i know i'm late to the party but if the inputs are parallel then you do not want to do this as there is the chance you could damage one input device as the other on tries to drive it. The test would be is there an output signal present on the rca plugs when the mp3 is in use? If not you should be fine. Hondo

I have used the headphones out and monitored both my vocal and guitar. There are also RCA six outs in stereo

My StarTech capture card does the same thing. Playback is perfect. Guessing Picture and sound could be offset to compensate for dropped frames if necessary.

I have had this unit for almost a year in live application and have not experienced any unusual noise or hiss. I am sure if the gain structure is wrong any unit could have the potential for noise. hope that's what you wanted to hear

The mat will not reduce the feedback you are experiencing. I suggest you call a professional any any quality audio store.to resolve your feedback issue.

Yes. The audio monitoring clicks off when you click into another application, but picture and audio continue to record.

Rock out!!!! Best solution would be to connect the computer into the mixer feeding the monitors then it is no different from any other source. If you are connecting directly to the computer headphone jack just be careful not to send too hot of a signal - if you hear any distortion at all then turn down the volume on the computer - and you will be fine.

Don't know. Didn't have this problem. I downloaded the recording to my iMac and played it back from there. If your recorder is capable of doing that, you might try. Perhaps the feedback is in the playback, not the recording.

Hi J. Jeffers, Playback issues can also be caused by condensation. If this may be the case, the player should not be used for about an hour to allow to any condensation to dissipate. -Anthony

Yes. However, I have noticed a slight delay in the sound synchronization when the same thing is playing on both outputs. I have one output going from my computer to a TV over a 6 foot cable and the other output is going to a TV over a 25 foot cable.

Yes. There's a knob that allows a user to adjust the ratio of input signal to playback signal in your headphones. This means that you can adjust the monitor to be 100% playback signal, where you'd be able to hear the track as you record in the DAW, but not the signal being produced from whatever mic or instrument you've got plugged in. Conversely, at 100% input, you'd hear only the instruments or mics that are hooked up. There is no delay in the input signal, as it is coming directly through the audio interface and not from your computer. However, if you are performing a vocal track and you have some of the playback present in your monitor, you may notice that when you've finished your performance and you listen back, the vocal track may not fit well with the rest of the music. This is not a problem with your audio interface, and with minor tweaking with the vocal track in the DAW, you can line things up nicely. You can also set up your DAW to adjust for these types of issues, but I've personally not had much luck with that. Tweaking things by hand has never been a problem. Hope this information helps! I love this interface.

Upon turn on, there is a brief spike of current draw at 2.1Amps. Idle is about 0.3A. And most of my listening experience stays under 0.6A at moderate levels. However, I am sure that if you push this thing to its limits, it will exponentially increase. The highest draw I have pulled was 2.5amps, but this is due to apartment living and I am very limited to what levels I can achieve. It was very loud though!

Unfortunately not. You only hear audio from the room that is showing on the monitor display screen. I have this issue sometimes too. Hopefully Summer will eventually make a "split screen" monitoring system.

The device that is connected to the input line should be at almost maximum. There is a volume control on the unit but I leave that at max also. Where you would want to adjust the output volume is on your Radio receiver. It is possible to over drive the the unit. I would adjust your device that is connected to the the unit first, if there is distortion lower the volume on that device.

I also agree with the checking the cables but here's another thing to look at. This kind of interference or feedback only happens to me when I don't turn everything on in the right order. That is computer on, Pioneer DDJ-SR on, open Serato, turn on subwoofer (passing the Eris 8's via the sub (Temblor 10), the Eris 8's on. No feedback, although there is very minute hissing. If I turn the speakers on first all kinds of hissing and feedback. That's been my experience. Not sure how you're using these but Hope that points you towards resolution.
