testing/setting up brand new UB2442FX-PRO EURORACK mixer:
I used a mono white noise sample to set all the trims (PFL) on all
channel strips--0db--straightforward enough on the mono channels. When I got to the stereo channels, the same mono noise sample plugged into the left or mono jack showed up +6db louder than if I used only the right jack. Seemed odd, but I continued on. After setting all the channel trims I fed the same white noise sample into all tracks by pairs, panned hard left and right, sliders @ Odb. It was at this point I found the meters reading +6db louder on the right side, on all channel pairs and stereo channels. Reversing the cables feeding this signal made no difference. The only exception was the CD/Tape input-which was balanced on the meter. I would have to guess the stereo bus defective... Any thoughts? |

It seems to me that what you're seeing is exactly what you should see if you're monitoring the mixer output in mono. When you plug into the left/mono channel jack, the signal is being fed to both left and right, so you're measuring the sum of left/right at the mixer output. When you plug into the right jack, you're feeding only the right channel, so the signal is not being summed with itself. The CD/Tape input did not have this problem because it is not normalled - the left input is always just "left" for this input. Try the exercise again, but when you plug into the left/mono jack, plug an unused cable into the right channel as well. This should force the left/mono to act as just an input for the left channel and give you the same level as plugging into the right jack only. |
