Problems with XLR Sockets Stage16
Hi!
I have problems get the XLR plugs out of the stage16 once they were plugged. I have to pull really hard to get them back out - it seems like the locking is not working well any more - on all sockets - it was from the beginning - but now i broke one lock cause i have to remove 1 cable with too much power cause it was stuck in there. By the way - i use Cables with Neutrick Connectors. Did anybody else have troubles here? |

Re: Problems with XLR Sockets Stage16
The XLR jacks on my Stage 16 are a bit finicky as well, but I found a trick that works (for my unit).
While holding the latch release, push the cable deeper into the connector. This seems to fully disengage the latch (you'll feel it release), then the cable can be removed as expected. While this isn't a big deal for me, I could see it being an issue if the board is being used for rentals, or by multiple engineers. |

Re: Problems with XLR Sockets Stage16
Those panel-mount XLR connectors can be replaced, but plan on a few hours to take things apart, replace and then re-assemble. Anyone with decent soldering skills and a good iron(not that old Weller gun with the coat hanger tip) should be fine

If the box is under warranty then I would not run soldering it myself. I would contact Avid Venue Support first (NB! New phone number for US) to see if it would void the warranty if you replace the connector yourself, or not.
