Default PROCONTROL HISS

HELLO,

I HAVE JUST INSTALLED MY NEW PROCONTROL AND FADER PACK EXTENSION (FIRMWARE V.1.3.5.)
AS SOON AS I DISENGAGE THE MUTE BUTTON OF THE CONTROL ROOM SECTION A PERFECTLY AUDIBLE HISS APPEARS THROUGH MY GENELECS. EVEN MORE, WHEN I PLAY BACK ANY MATERIAL ONE SIDE IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER.

THE CABLES ARE PERFECTLY OK, AS I HAVE TESTED THEM THROUGH THE 192 I/O OUTPUT DIRECTLY AND NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS ARISE.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT´S THE MATTER WITH MY NEW EXPENSIVE TOY?

THANX IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFO.

Can't believe Digi hasn't fixed this yet. The monitor has a known problem of not tracking correctly left versus right. There is a thread on this somewhere in this forum. The monitor section is the weak part of the pro control. I use a MultiMax monitor control and love it. Try a search on this issue and you should get more info. Good Luck.

Digi did fix this problem. My PC is over 3 years old and has never had the gain tracking problem.

The hiss is a wiring or power supply problem (my best guess anyway). My PC makes no noise at all.

How old is your "New" PC? It sounds like it may have been sitting on a shelf somewhere for many years.

Our PC has "hissed" ever since we installed the new EPot, which tracks perfectly left/right. Doesn't bother me...

HI STEVE,

MY PC MAY BE 2/3 YEARS OLD. I GOT A NEW ANALOG BOARD FROM DIGI AND THE HISS DISAPPEARED, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN LEVEL BETWEEN L/R REMAINS THE SAME.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ONLY WHEN MAIN MIX IS SELECTED (CHANNELS 7&8), BUT IF THE SELECTED SOURCE IS ANY OTHER THE PROBLEM FADES AWAY.
I HAVE CHECKED MY CABLES AND THEY ARE ALL OK, SO MY GUESS IS THAT THE AUDIO OUT D25 CONNECTOR IS FAULTY.

ANY CLUES?
