Anyone buy a 1608 power supply lately?
barrynz:
I find this interesting...... Shortly after purchasing and starting to use my DL806, I noticed the 'digital noise/static' issue....(interestingly I DIDN'T notice it the first couple of uses....different venues etc).... It was really apparent on the Aux 1 output feeding a Behringer Powered Monitor.......almost non existent on Main outputs and Aux 2. The quickfix on the night was an earth lift on the Behringer Monitor power supply (*shudder) and the long term fix proved to be a balanced TRS cable from mixer to Behringer Monitor. The main outputs already use balanced XLR Cables and Aux 2 is a short ( 1 metre) unbalanced cable.
Sometimes a very faint 'digital noise/static' is still apparent on the Main Outputs...(probably different quality of power supply at different venues..)...but it is very faint and not noticeable a foot or so away from the speaker, nor when in use....so not an issue.
I will test with my spare power supply from Amazon, mentioned earlier in this thread and see if things change.... As well, re reading these comments, I will replace the short unbalanced Aux 2 cable with a balanced one.

Not sure if it was mentioned above but FullCompass has a good replacement supply that has the threaded locking barrel connector. I reall it being around $40 shipped to me. I now carry a spare in the mixer bag.

Skip the locking connector it is the cause of some of the power supply problems.

Just finished a 3 day festival and used this all weekend without any issues. https://www.amazon.com/UpBright-Global-Adapter-Digital-Charger/dp/B00FYK67FI

Hi Folks,
I ordered the EventBright power supply from Amazon.
On the web it shows a three-prong, grounded plug.
(And if you scroll across, a two-prong as well.)
It came with a two prong, un-grounded plug, and the body of the unit is two-wire, so no ground.
The Mackie power supply is grounded.
For mic cables I prefer the shortest ground path.
I'm returning this adapter, and getting one that is grounded.
This looks like a good choice:

Or this one, with a common IEC AC connector:

Thanks and good health, Weogo
