ACIDMAN Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi all ! My mackie 32 8 has just started playing up recently ! The problem is that on ch13 and ch19 I only have to move the faders a tiny bit and it's "all or nothing". There is no difference in volume between "just off the bottom" and "unity", and only a little difference between "unity" and "full up".Any one ever had the same problem ?http://recording.org/images/smilies/confused.png AAAAAAHHHG Just noticed another one too. While trying a submix on subs 1,2,3 & 4 number 2 decided it would do the same. So now the problem is on board 2, board 3 and on the sub group board. I know these had an inherent problem with the ribbon cables too. Mine are the original ones,not even rev b or c let alone g. I did wonder if it was the fader buffers (and they're surface mount..grrrrr). Is mackie still the best place for spares or does anyone know any other sources ?

KevinE Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Sure it isnt just dodgy faders? Maybe it's had a bump, or even a drink? The last time I tried to order from Loud UK they refused to supply any spares at all, preferring me to get them retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound Man Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Do you know if the connections to the sliders crimped or soldered? If they are crimped it may be worth soldering them. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACIDMAN Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I forget now without the board infront of me. I'll bear that in mind when I reinvestigate tomorrow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyP1955 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The fader problem is that the ground connection has gone bad, so the fader no longer acts as a voltage divider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
