Fidelio Sound Co Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hey all, I posted this on the Lectro Facebook group, but I'm hoping someone here might be able to shed some light as well. I'm having a really strange issue with my SRa receiver that I can't seem to figure out. I have an SRa on the latest firmware along with two SMDa's. I noticed lately that one channel is WAY louder than the other but I was on set and didn't have much time to troubleshoot. When I got home I took my time and this is what I'm seeing. Channel 2 is consistantly and significantly louder than channel 1. The levels for both channels on the SRa are both set to +5. I tried swapping the mics - no difference I tried changing the inputs on my recorder - no difference I checked that the TX and the RX were set at the same level - no difference, didn't matter which TX I used Checked compatibility modes - no difference Checked Pilot tone was active - no difference Phase both set to + Swapped cables - no difference Essentially no matter what I do, anything I output from Ch 2 is about 20-30db louder than Ch 1. All I need to do is swap the cable from Ch 1 to Ch2, set the Freq and bam, it starts peaking like crazy. I've tried every possible combination and to rule out cables, mics, recorder settings etc. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apcki Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Are the inputs on your recorder the same? Is one set to mic and one to line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanWBS Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 You haven't mentioned it and you may have already tried it but have you tried swapping over the base plate on the receiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't as I don't have another one. I'm hoping to take it in to Lectro in the next couple of and see if they can troubleshoot it further. From the responses I've gotten here and on Facebook, it seems to not be something to do with my settings and the unit is actually damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
