magic, thank you! it'll be nice to get this guy feeling a bit nicer to use. Say you want to mix 4 channels down to 1 channel, could you assign those 4 channels to Bus 1 then run a cable on the back from the PGM1 Out to whatever channel you want to mix them into? I haven't done it but I think...

G'day, what's the best stuff to clean the metal face of my M520? It's got years of grime on it when you look in the light and feels kinda gross, so I want to give it a good wash but without rubbing the paint off. Windex? WD40? Bit of detergent on a cloth? Eucalyptus Oil? Just wondering what...

Didn't realise there was a video section here! I had years on Premiere, but got sick of the crashes and Adobe and have been Resolve only for several years now. Resolve is an incredible bit of software as you have really robust sections for every part of the production cycle. If you just go...

A miracle happened, the guy I bought the 520 off just called and found the cable! So I no longer need to build one. Thanks for your help again, SB! I had the PSU balancing at the back of the console, so being able to slot it away properly is a load off my mind*

Does this cart look like it's on the right track? https://au.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=0c5fef0f0c

This is great, thanks. I'll tackle the VUs later as the place I could find that stock those bulbs you've linked don't ship to Australia. Anyway, I'm drawing up my patch diagrams for the 520 and trying to figure out the best practice to patch it into my 10 channel interface. Got the 8 bus outs...

yeah i've only ever had my 388 and 2 mackie mixers, so this kind of routable flexibility is new to me! It's good to know everything ive got can be accessible directly from the desk without repatching. Huge bonus! And yeah, have 1 & 2 on the Instrument in RCA jacks to my patch bay. Might...

I watched these before getting this desk a year or so ago, will watch again tonight. Cheers

ah lordy, I feel like a dingbat! I ran everything into the line ins as it's all to be normalled to synths from a patch bay and didn't even clock it said phono on those channels. Thanks for your patience, and sorry I ran you down the garden path. They're working perfectly fine with the tape...

signal ISN'T distorted from the ACCESS SEND jack when attached to the MIC. Seems the MIC inputs are clean, played them back in the 520s BUS outputs & there was no problem, so it seems the problem lies with the line in on 3 & 4.

Quick and easy check is to exercise the SEND/RCV jumpers on channels 3 & 4. - no fix. gave them a wiggle and a clean If that doesn’t help then start sniffing the signal along the input channel path to see where it breaks down. Start with the ACCESS SEND jack…is the signal good there? - The...

Amazing thank you again! Will go through this today or tomorrow and report back.

Thank you! I think I’ll get on the cable making path for sure. Will grab a bunch of those mouser parts and dig around for a suitable cable. Might check in with you again before ordering. Otherwise I guess I could just extend the wires to this connector for the hardwired version.

As soon as I posted this I had to take apart my studio and have only just built a new one so will pick this back up.

So I nabbed this desk and got it powered up roughly and ran through all the line in channels. Haven’t tested tape or mic in yet but all the buses sound good and all the channels except for 3 and 4 sound good. 3 & 4 are really distorted. Faders are operating well but it just distorts no matter...

Ok the PSU has a bit of give and if you take the latch off, you can plug it directly into the console. At least it's good to know mine all works. Might look at hard wiring it in if I can't find a power lead

It’s 2025, anyone got a power cable for one of these they wanna sell?

I'm looking at one of these to use as a mixer to do submixes of my synths etc down to my 388s 8 channels. Been eyeing these boards off for a while and one has come up. Are they pretty similar to the 388 in sound?

Hey, So Channel 7 records quiet. Tested on another 388 and the playback is the same. But playback of a good tape sounds fine on the problematic 388. I swapped REC play cards 4-7, 6-8 cards and hit the connectors with some deoxit & recorded some test tones across all tracks on the AU388...

yeah here's a mouser BOM i got from Browner Sound for a full recap IN 2020 but never got around to it. 2 caps are now unattainable, so if you find replacements, let me know and i'll update the BOM https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=7c2225c5e3
