Sorry for the stupid thread, anyone have any ideas. Its a folcrom type with no buttons on the front, just straight passive under a name of "Blackwatch Sound". I would like to get him to keep it instead of a refund, its only $200 but still dont want to have to have it returned. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bryan
"Bryan-
Something is wrong with the BlackWatchSound summing mixer.
Have spent many hours trying to get it to cooperate. There was a nut and washer belonging to one of the DB25 connectors lying inside the chassis when I took it apart, I re-attached them. No other obvious damage that I can see. I've tried multiple preamps and DB25 cables to make sure I wasn't blaming the summing mixer for the horrible sound unfairly. Basically there is more electrical hum than music coming from the XLR jacks of the summing mixer. Such a faint signal of music actually that a preamp has to be CRANKED to the max to get half the volume you'd need. Almost the level of like radio interference, not music. I've double checked the signal going to each lead in the DB25 cables with headphones and through speakers, the signal x16 is strong and beautiful. But the signal coming out of the summing mixer is awful, tiny, no low end, and overpowered by a huge electrical buzz, like 60hz. Any ideas what could be wrong?
