    Hi,

    I got a little metallic pop when I press the “ACTIVE” button on my unit.
    Is this conciser normal, anyway to avoid it?

    Note that I get the same when “ACTIVE” is control via Midi Cc.

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    There’s a relay inside our units for true bypass purpose. So the click noise you can hear is normal. If it annoys you, you can use the Spillover relay mode, but you won’t have a true bypass when ACTIVE is off.
    If you experienced also a click on your speakers (without signal passing thru), that can be a DC leakage from your mixer, audio interface, source,…Try another setup to identify from where this leakage is coming.
    Also the Spillover mode will cancel the pop noise coming from a DC leakage.

    Thank you, that is helpful.

    No sound on the speaker without audio signal going through (I do hear a small click coming from the box itself but not from the audio).

    I should have mention this is on the BOUM.
    I don’t think there is any spillover relay mode on this box, am I correct?

    You’re welcome.
    No, there’s no spillover mode for BOUM, spillover is only applicable on delays and reverbs.

    Got it.
    I still have Midi Cc control on Mix so I’m all good.

    Cheers
