Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the tips so far.
I have found more than a few dirty insert points and jack line inputs. Also the odd pot or fader that hasn't been moved in a while that has come 'unstuck' and started working again.
But the first impression of the desk?
WOW! I like it.
It has a 'silkiness' about it, but with a cosy warm feeling too.
It definitely sounds 'fuller' than the Ghost I had been using and what is apparent is a sense of detail. If I find a part needs a little lift, then raising the fader very slightly just makes the part leap out, whilst not burying other parts. And that's just with the Fostex D2424LV as the sound source. I can't wait until the G24S come back from being refurbed and setup. I've got enough to do here though with re-siting the mixer. I'm thinking also of moving the piano (
Yamaha U3) into the control room to make level setting up easier when I'm working on my own.
One question for the moment.
I take it that the mixer should operate Solo in Place when the PFL button is in its raised position? The PFL solo function works but when a channel is soloed using the SIP, nothing comes out of the mixer (I have checked the SIP pot is turned up). I presume the signal should come out of the CR (control room) outputs? I'm wondering whether a cable has been disconnected or become disconnected because the whole function doesn't work. Any ideas on how I should track down the following.
1) Low output out of all L outputs (STEREO, Control Room 'A' & 'B', STUDIO)
2) Headphone L not working
3) Pre-amps distorted on several mic pres
4) Occasional bursts of noise (think low frequency pink noise) on outputs, followed by it disappearing again.
I checked the Power Supply voltages and found:
+48V = 48.7V
+8V = 7.98V
+12V = 11.96V
-15V = -14.98V
+15V = 14.96V
All the measurements were with the console disconnected.
Cheers
Al
