Tinu Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi everyone! Was wondering if anyone experienced a similar thing. I had a shoot with a newly bought 833, wired 8060 directly to mic1 with phantom on obviously (and set to 48v). After about hour of shooting, the signal gets reeeally crunchy and distorted, i talk to the producer and switch to wireless MCR54 via AES on input 1. Everything is fine again. Since then, the 8060 just won't work on input 1 anymore! It sounds fine first, but after around 20min, the same thing happens. Until all i get is just a distorted mess. I don't have that problem on input 1 with a rode nt5, and the 8060 works fine on all other inputs. I assume this has something to do with phantom power not delivered correctly, and the fact that input 1 is also capable of accepting AES signals. Any ideas? Thanks! Been in touch with sound devices already, they offered to take a look at it very swiftly. test sd 833 micpre1.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 You should give SD a call. Sounds like something is up with your channel #1 given you've A/B tested it on other inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunAndGun Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Bad mixers out-of-the-box are rare, but not unheard of. When I added a 633 several years ago, one of the channels on the main output bus(either L or R, can’t remember) was extremely low. Trouble shot every which way I could think of, including firmware and nothing worked. Only option left was to send it in to SD, but as it was brand new straight out of the box, I raised hell with my dealer that I was not going to wait and play the warranty game and they made SD send me a brand new one.
