iDR32 preamp issues

I’ve got an odd problem with my rack - 4 preamps have started acting strangely: B2 & B3 have dropped a significant amount of gain (and if you crank them up it doesn’t seem to improve until suddenly they go through the roof), while A7 & B7 now have way MORE (at least 10-15db) gain than the rest.

Go figure - anyone have any ideas? I’ve checked the assignments; pads; phantom on/off; reset all channel processing etc, no improvement.

have you tried resetting the cpu? it might be worth a try…

Save you present settings then locate the plastic plug in the rear of your iDR32 for the dip switch access…

I am sure you probably already checked for some kind of corrosion?

Had this with my iDR-32 new out of the box and it had to be returned to A&H.

Slot A1 with a source plugged in went from nothing on the meter to permanently into the red with 1db increase then back to nothing with the next, totally un-controllable.

l know someone who had another make of digital desk and fried the preamp control by accidently applying phantom power to a CD player plugged into the XLR inputs not via a DI box, it also messed the CD up. I try and always use DI boxes on everything thats not a mic source.
