Default mbox input hardware failure

One of the inputs of my mbox has apparently failed at a hardware level - I believe it would be a leaky capacitor on the input. The signal is at a very low level and distorted. Has this problem happened before, and is there a particular component associated with the failure? I would otherwise just replace all the input capacitors.

I'd appreciate anybody else's experience

Mark

Default Re: mbox input hardware failure

On my MBox, i remeber channel 1 being a real pain. If i ever moved it, i would have to wiggle around the cable i was feeding into it (1/4") so that i would get the signal on that channel back. My guess was that the 1/4" input on ch. 1 just came loose from the rest of the unit.

It did things like that a lot.

Spot on. Intermittent connection in switch of insert point socket. Corrected by inserting and removing plug. www.markharding.com
