Hello everyone! I'm experimenting an issue with my DBX 286s for some time, but it didn't bother me that much before because my mixer levels weren't set properly with PFL level set normally.
If I'm setting the DBX 286s Output to -26dB, the signal isn't peaking on PFL , but I have a very annoying HISS in the headphones when the fader on Mic channel #1 on mixer is set to 0.
I tryed different combinations, nothing worked, I heard my voice with annoying hiss noise on the background.
The DBX outputs that noise even if i unplug the microphone from it, so it's not coming from the mic, it's coming from the DBX itself.
If i set push the 26dB PAD button on the #1 mic channel on the Yamaha MG16XU, and raise the DBX to +0.5 dB, I can hear myself crystal clear, not even the littlest hiss in the headphones, just the ambient noise even if i push the fader to the top at +10dB.
Now the question is: Is my DBX defect? Or is just the signal more clean at [MENTION=30439]0db[/MENTION] output level?
Before I had a Behringer x1622 mixer, and i could'nt set the DBX to [MENTION=30439]0db[/MENTION] output, because the mixer didn't had any dB Pad function, so i had the mic sent with almost peaking semnal in the mixer and lowered the output so i can't hear the hiss that much.
Sould i warranty it, or it's normal? If you experiment the same problem with your DBX 286s you can try this if your mixer has a dB Pad function. Thanks!
