I didn't know where to post this, since its more of a "technical help" question and I figured more people knew about mixer issues in this forum than any other...
I have a crate CSX 12 mixing board, and it has been working great for the last year... I never had any issues with it until I decided to purchuse a Condenser microphone.
I plugged the mic in, and tried to turn on the phantom power, but for some odd reason the red LED light didn't come on for the phantom power, I thought mabye it was a burnt out light or something like that until I noticed that the blue LED light on my mic wasn't coming on either...
So I fiddled around with it for a bit trying to figure out what was wrong, and decided to take it back to the store (both the mic and mixer) to determin what was wrong.
They tested it out and again were stumped as to why the phantom power was not turning on...
I have turned the phantom power on once (to see if it worked) and it worked fine, the red LED light came on, but that was a year ago (i turned it off don't worry about that) but now it won't even come on...
So the store also tried a different condenser mic to see if it was mabye the mic and that failed too...
They gave me a website to visit, and a phone number to call (crate support or something like that)
But Im wondering if this is mabye an issue with a fuse (I dunno I lack knowledge of whether or not a mixer would have a fuse)
does the crate CSX 12 have a fuse for its phantom power?
or is the wireing messed up or is it defective?
Like I said I used phantom power once to see if it worked, and I have never abused the thing, I keep it clean, and in an almost dust free environment...
Can anyone help me or am I doomed to waiting a few months for crate to get off there behinds and help me?
Thanks
