Re: DL4 problem

Hi Tom!

Here's some stupid suggestions 'cause you've probably already thought of
these, but anyway...

What happens when you try a different Mackie channel?

What happens when you patch the DL-4 into/out-of aux or effect send/returns
instead of using the insert?

What happens when you substitute another unit (non DL-4) for the DL-4?  
(You
could even use a plain wire.)

I suspect a fault in the mixer since you've changed everything else.

Subject: DL4 problem


Maybe someone has an idea about this...I've had the DL4 running 
problem-free
for going on two years now.  Always connected the same way - Hosa insert
patch cable (1) connected from the L input/L output to the channel 1 (same
channel as my clip-on mic) insert on my Mackie 1202.  Recently, I was
getting a tone (registering as a high D# on my tuner) generated thru the
system, which I was able to trace to the DL4.  I put in an different Hosa
cable and the sound got slightly louder.  I have a performance this Friday,
so I went and bought another DL4, adapter and a Monster patch cable - same
thing, except that now - regardless of which unit or cable - tone 
generation
seems to be intermittent (?...), but putting an insert in the Mackie jack
'deadens' the mixer - no levels on my effects with it plugged in exactly
where it has always been.  Anyone have any idea?
