Cuzin B Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hello, I recently acquired a Soundcraft M12. Lately - I stumbled onto something odd with the master bus on this board and wanted to find out if anyone had experienced this or if I have a problem with my new board. If I have any signal coming into the board with the L+R Mains outs set to the top of the fader travel (zero) and I turn my main monitor volume control to zero, I can still hear a very faint kinda crackly version of the signal. Same thing with the headphone jack. I kinda thought that off means off with these two knobs. Of course if I lower the L + R mains to the bottom of their fader length...I finally get silence. Anyone else notice this? Should I be worried....or is this totally normal? Is it Crosstalk? Any updates or tests from others would be appreciated Cheers, Cuzin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Hepworth Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Shitty, my old Alesis did that. Even with the unit off. Damaged circuit board perhaps. Tap on it very hard and see if you can make it better or worse. If so, it's got real problems. No matter how good something is, there will always be someone blasting away on a forum somewhere about how much they hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 It kinda sounds like you have a bad pot on the monitor control volume. A bad pot will not go all the way to ground thus leaving a little signal to pass. Frost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Mouse Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Mine does it too - ever since it was new. I don't like it considering its not a POS mixer. I was thinking the pot doesn't close all the way or something.

Cuzin B Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Monkey House (and others), Mine has also done it since it was new. I am still trying to determine from other Soundcraft (or any other make of board)users..if they can replicate this issue. But - based on some other comments I received from other forums - I am starting to think this kind of behavior is par for the course....and nothing to really worry about.
