Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these little mixing boards. I've been using one for about 3 years and recently the right channel became unstable. It used to just drop the right channel once in a while and yesterday it kept popping in an out every minute or so with a lot of crackle. When I jiggle the main volume it used to fix it but no longer seems to work.I've just opened it up and there is no way I can see to look at the top of the board. All I can see is the edge and nothing is obvious like a burst capactitor or anything. It looks very clean inside. Any ideas appreciated.
Follow Ups:
It sounds like a cold solder joint or bad fader if you were able to wiggle it to get the problem to stop.Anything that has been assembled can be taken apart. You might want to sit back and think about what might be holding it together rather than trying to pry on it which usually leads to breaking something.
You can seek service through a repair shop, but you might have already realized that the cost of repairing a Behringer can be a significant amount of the initial investment in the equipment. For that reason, many view Behringer as disposable. When it breaks, don't bother getting it fixed, just get another one.
It will almost inevitably cost more to have it fixed then to get a new one.
My advice is junk it and get a small Mackie. Your ears will thank you!
"My advice is junk it and get a small Mackie. Your ears will thank you!"I dunno if I agree with the assumption that Behringer is junk. Sure it's cheap. But I've got 2 Behringer mixers, (one is the 802) some processing gear, two subwoofers, XM8500 mics & other stuff from Behringer, & I have yet to be disappointed with any of their gear.
My friend whom I also play in a band with runs a concert sound company. He has an Allen & Heath board for the big jobs. His smaller board is a Behringer. He sold his Mackie 1604-VLZ & kept the Behringer because the mic preamps were quieter.
I've also A/B compared the Behringer XM8500 mics to Shure's Beta 58 & find them to be pretty much identical in terms of sonics. I'm not the only one who has come to that conclusion.
Just 'cuz it's cheap doesn't mean it sucks.
Cheers,
Bobbo :-)
Turns out the output cables were frayed from being stuck tight under a shelf. So I replaced those and it is working now. There still might be some other issues with the board but for now at least I have both channels back. Thanks
