    Hi, last weekend a had a 3 day festival and Saturday i had a problem with preamp 9 on my IDR48. It worked allright on friday .When i changed the preamp rotary at some positions there was a sudden jump of lets say 20 db . this was on a OH channel so big feedback. the positions where this happens seems always the same. I tried with and without PAD and Phantom , loaded a factory show but the problem persists.
    In the end i just assigned another socket and all was good.
    So i think bad preamp.
    Has anyone had this problem and what was the solution.
    I think i could swap preamp board B1-B8 with F1-F8 because i don’t use ch 41-48

    Kind regards

    Lieven

    Hi Leiven

    Yes I have the same problem with one preamp socket (B5) where increasing the gain past about 19db causes a big jump. I contacted local distributor about iit a long time ago and they said to return for repair as it is a hardware fault. I have not done that as yet – I just work around it as you have by either assigning another socket or avoiding high gain settings on that preamp. Must get it fixed though!

    Cheers

    OK, i switched the preamp boards and now the bad preamp is on channel 41 which i don’t use that often.
    So we see where it goes. I rather changed the boards than always have to make sure channel 9 is on another preamp socket.

    Thanks
