The second thing we did was redesign the {{L1}} software so that it could "filter out" the effects of momentary crosstalk and not cause the problem. That way future L1's would not have the issue. | The second thing we did was redesign the {{L1}} software so that it could "filter out" the effects of momentary crosstalk and not cause the problem.

2. Very low, out-of spec, AC power (less than ~105 VAC on a 120V system, or less than around ~215 V on a 230 V system. The manual states 110 and 220 for good measure) coupled with high signal level. This can be caused by a low power source, or one where the outlets are a very long distance from the electrical panel, extra equipment on the same electrical branch, power sags or dropouts, long or multiple extension cords, or small gauge extension cords. | 2.

In this case loud music increases the current draw, and the voltage drop over the extension cord will lower the voltage enough to cause a reset of the T1, or the L1 MII base. | In this case loud music increases the current draw, and the voltage drop over the extension cord will lower the voltage enough to cause a reset of the {{T1}}, or the L1 MII base. | ||
If the T1 resets, the LED’s (input trim level, mute LEDs) will turn off. The LCD display will remain blue, but be blank until the unit restarts. | If the {{T1}} resets, the LED’s (input trim level, mute LEDs) will turn off.
