Hey all,

Bought a 244 and got the transport up and running. The problem started with channel 4 getting very low signal on input. If I turned the trim pot all the way up I would get a very quiet and very distorted signal (overload lighting up). Barely registered on the VU. I swapped channel strips around to see if channel 4 would come back to life. No luck. Now all channels have the same issue. The send jacks are receiving signal and the RCV jacks are passing signal just fine on all channels. Where should I be looking next?

Thanks
 
bump on this older thread, because this sounds like the identical problem i have. i’ve adapted to it (it’s only 1 channel, and cue works fine) and simply mix and monitor on a second 244 i have which has a busted transport, but i’d like to understand what has gone wrong. luckily i haven’t swapped any channel strips, but it seems like you’re describing the issue transferring over to those strips as well.

my issue happened after i dropped a dbx 4 channel unit (types made for the tascam 38) from about a foot up, into the pitch control area of the 244. then the channel strip went crap.
