Help with Mixer Intermittant Audio Drop Out
Hi there. Back again. Long time no see.
I have a B-word MX2642A mixer that has recently decided not to output signal on the left channel but only now and then. Sometimes goes for hours without a problem and sometimes goes out for hours........ Sometimes goes in and out every few minutes...... It's an adventure!! The weirdest thing is it happens on the main outs, the sub outs, the aux sends, the control room outs, the headphone outs. Did I miss anyone? I've checked cables and everything else I could think of. Changed cables, inputs, speakers, amps, all quite a few times..... I am stymied. Anyone got any ideas as to what this would be?? Thanks!! __________________ Rob Cathcart |

Intermittent short. Could be all kinds of things, and you need to pull the PC board out and try it out on the bench, pressing and flexing things until you can make the problem happen. Could even be something like a capacitor failing into an intermittent short. But if you can make it happen on the bench, you can then trace from one stage to another until you find the stage where the problem is happening. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Help with Mixer Intermittant Audio Drop Out
Hi Scott,
The only bench I have is the one on the porch.......... I've been told it might be a ribbon cable or it's conectors OR the main insert point may have been rendered un-normalled by crud. I'll check those out. Do you think a bad power supply could be the culprit? Thanks for the response, Rob Cathcart |

No, I don't think the power supply is the culprit. -- If you e-mail me and it bounces, use your secret decoder ring and reach me he double-m-eleven-double-zero at yahoo -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) |

Sure, that's one of the first things to check once you can get it to fail. Check the supply pins on each of the op amps. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
