FUQ (eff -yu - cue) - FAQ's with an EDGE

Tagged As: Alesis Wedge

Question:
The dance group I work with uses an Alesis Wedge for delaying signals to down-hall speakers. It works nicely, and sounds very good (in other words, I don't hear it doing anything nasty). A few times, though, we've had unfortunate problems with line disturbances. Last Sunday, we were in our regular hall with the air conditioners running. Whenever an AC unit would switch on the lights would dim momentarily; on one of those dips, the Wedge freaked out, went into bypass mode and simultaneously had its preset levels go haywire. Something like this happened previously, at a gig out in the country; on that occasion it also went into bypass.
