[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 67127, member: 158"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A i know you've already returned these units. and since they were faulty out of the box, that's what i would do as well. still, i had to share this since it just happened last week. i've got about 10 ADA8000's in use at the church where i work. Over time i've had several go south with very similar symptoms to the ones you've described. frankly, given that they never get turned off and have been on the job for years in a building with notoriously flakey power, i've just swapped them out with other units i've gotten off of FleaBay and not given it much thought. compared to 10 units of ANY comparable product, i'm still way ahead of the curve financially. anyway, i have a new volunteer with a good deal of electronics experience who saw my 'broken' units on the and volunteered to take a look at them. long story short, he took three units home with 'clocking' issues' and found bad power supply capacitors in all three. He replaced them with 35v capacitors [they had been 25v] and we've put them back in service. i've got two more units that function fine but have non-functional input meters. he's getting those next. :) again, i know that doesn't solve your issue. just wanted to share for anyone else who might be interested. and FWIW, i've been using a DCX2496 for a LONG time with absolutely no issues. i hope your experience is the same...
