I’ve got an odd problem with my rack – 4 preamps have started acting strangely: B2 & B3 have dropped a significant amount of gain (and if you crank them up it doesn’t seem to improve until suddenly they go through the roof), while A7 & B7 now have way MORE (at least 10-15db) gain than the rest.
Go figure – anyone have any ideas? I’ve checked the assignments; pads; phantom on/off; reset all channel processing etc, no improvement.iDR32 mixrack

Save you present settings then locate the plastic plug in the rear of your iDR32 for the dip switch access…….

Slot A1 with a source plugged in went from nothing on the meter to permanently into the red with 1db increase then back to nothing with the next, totally un-controllable.
l know someone who had another make of digital desk and fried the preamp control by accidently applying phantom power to a CD player plugged into the XLR inputs not via a DI box, it also messed the CD up. I try and always use DI boxes on everything thats not a mic source.
