[. . . ] · Get to know the Block Diagram of your console (see page 42). · Get to know what all parameters and/or connections in the system are supposed to do. · Learn where to look for common trouble spots. The Block Diagram is a representative sketch of all the components of the mixer, showing how they connect together and how the signal flows through the system. Once you have become familiar with the various component blocks you will find the Block Diagram is quite easy to follow and you will have gained a valuable understanding of the internal structure of the mixer. Each component has a specific function and only by getting to know what each part is supposed to do will you be able to tell if there is a genuine fault!Many "faults" are the result of incorrect connection or control settings which may have been overlooked. Basic Troubleshooting is a process of applying logical thought to the signal path through the mixer and tracking down the problem by elimination. · Swap input connections to check that the source is really present. · Eliminate sections of the channel by using the insert point to re-route the signal to other inputs that are known to be working. · Route channels to different outputs or to auxiliary sends to identify problems on the Master section. · Compare a suspect channel with an adjacent channel which has been set up identically. Use the MONITOR switches to hear the signal in each section. · Problems with the Insert jack sockets contacts may be checked by using an insert bypass jack with tip and ring shorted together as shown to the left. If the signal appears when the jack is inserted it shows that there is a problem with the contacts on the jack socket, caused by wear or damage, or often just dirt or dust.
