Hi, didn't know where else to post this. I bought a new (used) desk yesterday and on channel 4 the signal suddenly drops in level and gets distorted.... if I press the "flip" button (which flips the A and B channels, it's a inline desk) back and forth at twice the speed of light, it goes away.... and then returns after a while. I'm not too good at english so I don't know how to explain the problem, but the desk has been unused for some years so my guess is that it's just oxidation (if its called so ?) on the contact surfaces inside the jack ?
Can I use some of the spray that I use for cleaning electrical shit in my car ?? Also the meter on subgroup 6 shows a few dB less when fed the same signal as the other subgroups. Can the meter "slip out" of calibration ?? Or is it a greater risk that the signal itself going through the subgroup is being damped in any way ??
The desk is a Soundtracs Topaz 8 group. (same as Harveys studio B, but the 24-ch version)
