If you use analog outputs and inputs try to clear of it really is your mixer and not one of the inputs. If the inputs are good your mainboard could be a bit dusty or you have a loose contact. If you have a mixer with internal interface your audio stream from your computer might be the problem.

Usually the connector that is board mounted is the problem. I would OPEN the unit as there may just be broken solder at the connector inside. If the connector requires replacement, find one at Digikey.com by searching for "power connector coaxial".

Hint: In the future install one of those little lamp switches that are in a little plastic box with knurled knob sticking out the sides. ONLY break ONE wire from the adapter to avoid getting the connections reversed. Since the wires are smaller than lamp cord, tack solder the wires to the piercing points of the switch .

I have bought from them before myself and there are others on Ebay so shop around... You can contact the companies and ask for a specific one and DO compare the size to your unit that they specify as all the companies do not accept returns...

SOURCE: Allen and Heath PA 28 is making pulsating sound,

You haven't given us much information... You obviously have some sort of feedback and saturation in process. First thing is to unplug ANY signals into the unit including any inserts and see if problem goes away. If it does, start adding them back in. If it doesn't go away with only the main outputs then VERIFY that you are using BALANCED interconnects to your amps/speakers AND that the mixer AND all of these amps/speakers are powered from the SAME receptacle or power conditioner module. If the BARE mixer with only headphones has the problem, then you have a power supply in the mixer that is squeging.

I get a static buzzing noise out both speakers. it stops if I hold the plug cable or master out cables? turntable wires are grounded. help!

If this is stopping when you grab a connector then you have a bad solder on the connector. a short or break in the wire or a ground is bad.

What could be causing a strange static sounding noise in the headphones only when pressing PFL on any channel.

The "PFL" Stands fo r"Pre Fader Level". Just in case you did not realize. so when you press the "PFL" button , and the red light goes out?, You're saying that the hissing goes away and that you have clarity. Yes? and the volume presents no issues? Also correct? Part of that simply, is with the PFL in the on position. You are engaging the fader for one, which will add to an already boosted signal ( the the fader is turned Up?). also you may have your Clip set incorrectly. to set this you turn PFL off, then at your signal input level Dial (usually at the very top in-line with your fader. _ set the volume on your device, then input clip level on the board \ to where the clip light comes on. not a steady light, but a blinking light so make it steady, then back it off a hair. Okay? this whole time make sure your mains are down. or off at the faders. Once clip is set., PFL is in off position, gradually turn your mains up to level. Now, the PFL is for when you have more than one signal. say from an instrument on another channel. unless you have that? No need to use the PFL. If you do have an instrument in line,. then, before you turn PFL on,make sure that your fader on that channel is turned off. -turn on your PFL, then gradually bring that to level. never messing with the mains level.

I know that is a lot of info. but it is a process. that should eliminate any hissing you may have heard.
Good luck!!

How do I fix channels with no sound

Mute Switch/Mute-Clip LED :
  • This switch mutes all Aux, Group and L/R sends from the corresponding channel.
  • This switch is equipped with a red LED that will illuminate when the channel is muted.
  • When the MUTE button is out,the LED functions as a Clip indicator that will illuminate at 2 dB below clipping.
  • Muting the channel does not prevent the PFL signal from being sent to the PFL/AFL mix when the PFL Switch (12) is in.
  • This switch mutes its respective Group send from the Group channel.
Go to page 11 in this link :
Peavey FX Mixer Series Operating Manual

You can also try, Restoring Factory Settings, in the Utility Menu Options.
Go to page 16 in ths link :
Peavey FX Mixer Series Operating Manual

CAUTION:
Restoring the factory settings option resets your mixer's presets, reformatting factory presets and erasing all other user presets. (This option is handy when your venue has permanently changed and all-new presets are required.)
Once confirmed, the presets are not retrievable and will be permanently lost.
Should you select this option in error, a warning screen allows you to cancel the procedure.

Allen & Heath XONE:42 Professional Four Channel DJ Mixer. How to repair a blown left channel blown?

If one of the channels on your Allen & Heath XONE:42 mixer is not functioning properly, it is likely due to a problem with the channel's internal components or electronics. To repair a blown left channel, you will need to disassemble the mixer and locate the source of the problem.

Here are the general steps you can follow to troubleshoot and repair a blown channel on your Allen & Heath XONE:42 mixer:

Disconnect the mixer from any power sources and remove any cables or accessories that are connected to it.

Carefully disassemble the mixer, following the instructions in the user manual or a service manual if available.

Once you have access to the internal components of the mixer, carefully inspect the left channel for any visible damage or problems.

If you find any damaged or faulty components, you will need to replace them. You may be able to find replacement parts online or through a specialist DJ equipment retailer.

If you are not comfortable with disassembling and repairing the mixer yourself, you may want to consider taking it to a professional repair service. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and repair the mixer for you.

Keep in mind that repairing electronic equipment can be complex and requires specialized knowledge and tools. If you are not familiar with electronics repair, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a professional.

No sound

There can be any number of reasons for this problem - solve it diagnostically by starting with something that you know is working and work through systematically to the other end.
  1. Test a microphone on a separate amp to make sure it works okay. Check amp and speakers working. Check that all output cables from mixer to amp are working by testing separately.
  2. Plug microphone into a channel on mixer. Also plug in headphones and turn headphone volume control up.
  3. Make sure input sensitivity knob is turned up a bit (say half way) and main output faders (yellow) are up.
  4. Check that channel is turned on (little button just above the channel fader- needs to be pressed down)
  5. press pfl (pre-fade listen) button (next to button to switch channel on)- do you get any sound on main output or headphones or any indicator lights on mixer to show signal is getting that far (eitehr the individual channel metering lights or the main ones in the central section)?
  6. turn off pfl - make sure channel fader (slider) is up - normal position is ) - about 3/4 of way up. Check lights again on individual channel and main output section - any signs?
  7. Is the sub mix button for the channel pressed down - in which case you will need to bring sub mix (red) output faders up as well as main faders.
  8. If you have got signs of signal on the individual channel but not main see if the channel has been routed somewhere odd (like a subgroup of channels).
  9. Plug a working amp and speakers into one of the auxiliary outputs and use the relevant auxiliary send knob (on each channel just above the faders and pfl switches) to pan some signal to that auxiliary out - do you get anything? There is also a headphone socket for listening to the auxiliary channels (with a selector switch /knob to determine which one - make sure it is in the right position) try listening to the auxiliary output with headphones - anything? If yes the problem lies in the main output section.
  10. Check that there is not a jack plug in the insert socket (to route signal through an external effects unit) without a matching return jack being plugged in - if appropriate is relevant effects unit switched on and correctly set up - if unsure remove the insert plug to take it out of the system.
  11. Make sure any mute buttons are not switched in on main outputs.
