ZED SIXTY 10FX Input problems

Hello,

I’ve been using Inputs 1 & 2 for years with my old A&H desk (Not the ZEDi). A direct connection from my harp pick-ups, balanced with a direct live mic. Then in mixing I balance the two different feeds. I’ve been doing this for a few years now. WITHOUT panning L & R!

All of a sudden, both feeds are going into both inputs 1 & 2, so I have no effective separation of my signals to work with.
So, I fixed it after some reading on here by panning hard right and left for the two channels.

Seems to make perfect sense. But why have I never had to do this before today? Just a mystery!

So if I understood the the post correctly your pick up direct output the built in mic output were at one time isolated with each output on it’s own mixer channel input?

Does your harp have two individual outputs are does it use a tip ring sleeve stereo cable
that breaks out into two output connectors?
