Hi all,
I hope someone can help me to troubleshoot this. I have a Kam Kap 1500 mixer - I know not the best mixer in the world but don't bash me for that :lol:
I am in the middle of a two week festival and it has started playing up. I have always used channel 2 and 3 assigned to the crossfader. However, when the crossfader was hard right (channel 3) you could still hear channel 2, sometimes at full volume. So I assumed the crossfader had gone and replaced it. I then got the same problem.
I have tried using contact lube on it, and still the same problem.
I then tried using channel 1 instead, and tentatively, that seems to work OK. Could this mean a whole channel is dead/on the way out? Are these sorts of things usually serviceable?
I don't really understand how mixers are wired up so I am unsure how to trouble shoot this problem. Any help gratefully received.
Also, it I mix using only the main faders, could they eventually wear out (they are not replaceable like the cross fader).
Oh yes, it is 2 1/2 years old and has had a fair bit of use....
Thanks,
Ed
