Didn't have a UPS but Im thinking of adding it in ,

SO get this I found the Problem !!  Come to find out the power conditioner in the rack was causing the problem I plugged the mixer direct into and outlet and no noise. when I had it in the shop I didn't have it going into the conditioner and that was the only thing different at the gig. So I swapped the conditioner out prior to Saturday nights gig and all good.  the conditioner that had the problem was an old Rack rider that I had for years Who would have thought that would cause a problem like that. The shures were plugged into it and no problem there.

Glad to hear you found the problem.  Now get that UPS on the X32.  ???

I had a wide-band buzz that was caused by a "conditioner" in a wireless rack.  Even when the unit was bypassed, it still caused the problem just by being plugged in.  I suspect that the surge components were breaking down and contaminating the ground.

Most power conditioners aren't doing anything to condition the power. Often all they are is a surge protection system that uses MOVs that will re-route high voltage spikes to ground.  Problem is, the MOVs deteriorate over time (or are crap to start with) and the net result is leaking noise onto the ground wire, causing more problems than are solved.

Anything with a MOV is taken out of my power train whenever possible.
