Fusion input makes crackling noise

[Matthias Richter]

I noticed on my Fusion´s input #8 some level showing although nothing was send into. Soloed that input and it makes some crackling, noisy noise. Switching to mic level and 48V on/off got rid of it - I thought.

 

Later I used that input for a plant. It sounded fine in the mix (sent from my CS208) but the levels on that ch jumped like mad. Listened back to it in solo mode - just heavy crackling.

 

I will have it serviced asap but thought maybe someone here experienced that same failure already and knows what needed to be done?

 

Thanks, Matthias

I had a similar problem with my Fusion, which occurred on four of the eight inputs. It turned out to be bad capacitors, and was ultimately fixed by Zaxcom. But not before a couple of trips home to NJ. This may not be what's causing your troubles, but you may want to point them in that direction. Good luck.

maybe...

if the DS Ultra-Master reset sequence doesn't cure it,

it is sick, and needs to go to the hospital!

thanks for the hint. Hopefully my local tech (Kortwich) can fix it rather than send it over the pond ...
