Hey y'all, I have an interesting issue and I wonder if you could shine some light...
So I picked up this rad little 8X4 mixer for a great deal, and I was thinking I'll use it to make drum busses and and other combo busses.
The interesting issue is that all 4 XLR buss outputs have an extremely treble-heavy sound with absolutely no bass at all. My initial thought was caps gone bad...
I have opened her up for a look inside, and it's quite beautiful point to point construction. To get a look at the XLR outs would require a complete disassembly, removing 24+ pots, etc, which I don't really want to get into...
but, the good news is that I can take the bus outputs from the RCA jacks and get nice beefy full sound... So for the time being I'm using the unbalanced outputs.
Just curious as to why the balanced XLR outs are so tinny sounding in comparison.
Do you think it's a capacitor issue?
