Omni High Frequency squealing
I have a very clean 2012 Avid Omni that now squeals the most horrible sound out of my speakers, it definitely the output stage, not on the dig out.
Really really annoying, everything else is fine but it needs fixed. Avid would like $1100 to fix it ! (which is less than a new one) friggin thing is only 3 years old, does anyone know of a repair place that can look at it or has anyone else heard this horrendous squealing ? Pretty mad I have to actually buy another one to fix this one ! Meet the Fockers thanks |

Toss it far out the Window and buy something like a new Apogee Ensemble w/ Thunderbolt.
Well, maybe first I'd work to try to check exactly what is squealing, e.g. is it on all outputs equally? Affected much by the output level, definitely not coming for some accidental feedback, happens when disconnected from all inputs, and the Digilink?, different power outlet, different monitors, etc. etc. |

Re: Omni High Frequency squealing
Yeah I know Daryl its a nice alternative but its $2500 and I already own this brick and it works fine when it works but it ain't working now !
Its probably just a capacitor or something simple, I can't believe there is no system setup for repairs at avid. |

Re: Omni High Frequency squealing
They have a great system... for Avid... $1,100 or so for likely not much work seems pretty steep. They really quoted $1,100??? Even less reason for anybody to want an Omni...
You could sell off your HD native card/box and help offset some of the Ensemble costs, beats paying $1,100 for not much. And you get a better/far more capable interface. |

Re: Omni High Frequency squealing
Yes they really quoted $1100 I was floored, I mean no repair support at all, its really terrible. I agree Ensemble looks nice, more inputs, outputs etc with a better internal mixer. Its seems stupid to not be able to fix this omni though even for $500. I mean if an Avid engineer worked on it for 2 hours at $250/hr which is high, it probably is fixable but that's not an option.
I am very disappointed i have to shell out this money for a unit that cost so much so soon after buying it. |
