Thank you for your reply.

Could you correct this, please?

The desk worked fine during the gig on Saturday. An hour after I switched it on the solo clear switch started flashing without any solo key be activated. The solo meter was metering at the same time as the solo clear switch and a constant noise was coming through the master output.

I swapped outputs thinking that the problem could be the L&R outputs of the desk but the groups and matrices had the same noise.
When I pressed (pushed) the solo clear switch the noise gone and I figured out that the it was the problem. I put a couple of straps of gaff tape to keep the solo clear switch pressed and it worked fine during the gig.

Unfortunately we I could not use the solo switches and headphones with this problem.

Thank you

It is impolite to use personal names on the internet unless invited to do so. Use screen names; mine is Mister Micawber.
