Hello all,
A few weeks ago i was doing the sound for a band on a party. I found out that channel 16 had no output and if i switched to an other layer and back, the fader did not come back in it’s old position but higher. If i did this a few times the fader would move all the way to the top and stil no output.
At home i did a calibration and found out that fader 16 and 24 did not go to the right positions. My QU-24 was 11 months old so i wend back to my dealer. He sended it to A&H and they told me it was dirt. They cleaned it for me and checked all the faders. Everything is ok now but cost me 58,- euro because dirt was my fault.
My question now is:
1. How do i prevent this? I don’t use the QU-24 that often and i Always have it in a case if i don’t use it.
2. If it should happen again, what is the best way to clean the faders?
(i have some experience with repairing amps)
