Two New C24's Mic Pre #16 Doesn't Work!!!
Setting up a studio for a client. When I tested the C24, the 16th Mic Pre shows the clip light but no signal. I returned the board and got another new one. SAME THING!! We tested signals also through the DI's as well. We went directly into the D-Sub connection so snakes or patch pays was connected for the test. Has anyone heard of a bad batch of C24's?

We tested directly into the DB-25 connector no snakes connected.

Thanks for the heads up. This was just bought at GC Pro , so we'll just turn around and get another one. I'm calling Tech Support tomorrow on this. Maybe they know of a bad batch of boards that went out.

You have 30 days for a return at GC and if its defective they cant even say a thing. I would not want a board that needs a tech in its first year
I went through three consoles untill i got a perfect one and still needed some faders later. Tell the avid guy to bring a brand new console with hime, :) |

Re: Two New C24's Mic Pre #16 Doesn't Work!!!
Well, an Avid Field Technician came out to the studio today and fully tested all the lines. He confirmed that #16 Mic Pre was dead. He also could not find if anything caused it. So we ordered another new C24 from GC Pro today. I am going to fully test the new one along with the Avid Tech at the store before it goes out the door. Wish me luck!!!
STAY TUNED!

Well, what a cluster F_ck!!! The new board tested fine. Brought it into the studio, still no signal from Mic Pre 16. So I tested the Mic Pre Out Snake and found that #8 of the snake was bad as well. I replaced the snake and all is good. Cheers
