Is it making the same noise in other channels of the mixer?

Did you try a different XLR cable?

Does the mixer channel have an impedance pad switch?

Yes on point 1 and 2. I don't know on 3, don't have access to that mixer. It's happened on a couple of mixers though, some of which def don't have an imp pad switch. I also switched between pre/post and gnd/lift, no diff.

I believe the XLR out has its own transformer. You may want to have your tech guy check the transformer. In Mica's response to your original post, she suggests emailing her at the helpdesk. She also mentions that they can test it for you.

I have had the same experience as boombats. I had run the XLR out to my PS-1 XLR in (thinking it would give better clarity for some reason) and all through the first set it sounded like baked ass to quote. As soon as I switched back to the full range out the sweetness was back.

The sound was like a low grade distortion, but not a good musical kind of sound. It was just an experiment, since I'm mis-using the F1-X for the Further I assumed that was the reason, and didn't give it another thought until I read this thread.

To note, if I run the XLR out to my mixing board in the studio (headphones only) this ass sound is not present, but its still not as nice as the 1/4 full range out.
