Hey Guys,
Quick question...
I have an 80's Allen and Heath System 8 Mixer,
This one:
http://www.allen-heath.co.uk/veterans/system8.htm
The only problem is, on some of the channels, the sound cuts in and out. For example if I have a channel routing to a drum overhead, it will cut out while the drummer is playing quietly, and come back in when he bashes them again.
If the channel is on max gain, the sound doesn't cut out but at that point most sources are overloading.
What's the most likely way for a fix?
A.Clean all the pots with Deoxit
B.Take the whole thing apart and clean (This would take a really long time as every fader and pot would have to come off, as well as a ton of screws)
C: Take it in to a shop and pay big money
D: Get rid of the old girl and buy a new girl (possibly a couple of firepods or similar which would eliminate the need for separate preamps)
Thanks
