Why does my technics Digital piano my ears throb?

Experiencing discomfort or pain in your ears while playing your Technics digital piano is not a normal occurrence and could be a sign of an issue that needs attention. There are a few potential reasons for this phenomenon:
  1. Frequency Range: It's possible that certain frequencies produced by the piano are resonating with the natural frequencies of your ears or the surrounding environment, causing discomfort. This could explain why you feel it more in specific ranges of the keyboard.
  2. Acoustic Properties: The sound produced by the piano might be reflecting off nearby surfaces or causing standing waves in the room, which can create resonances that affect your ears.
  3. Volume Level: If the piano's volume is too high, it could lead to discomfort or pain in your ears. Even if the volume seems moderate, it's possible that specific frequencies or overtones are causing issues.
  4. Headphones: The fact that you don't experience this issue when using headphones suggests that the problem might be related to the piano's built-in speakers or its interaction with the acoustics of your environment.
  5. Electronic Components: There could be a malfunction or interference in the piano's electronic components that is affecting the sound output in a way that causes discomfort.
To address this issue:
  1. Volume Control: Try lowering the volume of the piano and see if the discomfort lessens. Gradually increase the volume until you find a level that doesn't cause discomfort.
  2. Room Acoustics: Experiment with placing the piano in different locations within the room to see if it affects the sensation you're experiencing. You could also try using soft materials like curtains, rugs, or acoustic panels to dampen reflections and standing waves.
  3. Equalization: If your piano has an equalizer or tone control settings, try adjusting them to see if it reduces the discomfort.
  4. Professional Inspection: If the issue persists, consider having the piano inspected by a technician to check for any electronic or acoustic anomalies.
  5. Expert Advice: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be best to consult with an audiologist or a professional musician who has experience with piano-related sound sensitivities. They might be able to provide more personalized advice and recommendations.
Your health and well-being are important, so it's essential to address any discomfort or pain you're experiencing while playing your digital piano.

My boss BR 1180 digital recorder has suddenly

  1. Check the Headphone Output:
    • Make sure that the headphone output jack is clean and free of any debris. Sometimes, dirt or dust can accumulate and affect the signal.
  2. Output Mode:
    • Double-check the output mode settings on your Boss BR 1180. There might be a setting that affects the stereo output, so ensure that it is set correctly.
  3. Output Routing:
    • Verify that the output routing settings are correct. Check if there's a setting that might be causing the output to be directed to only one side.
  4. Master Output:
    • Check the master output settings to ensure they are balanced. If there's an imbalance in the master output settings, it could affect the stereo playback.
  5. Factory Reset:
    • Consider performing a factory reset on your Boss BR 1180. This can often resolve software-related issues that might be causing the playback problem.
  6. External Monitor:
    • If possible, connect the recorder to an external speaker or monitor system using the appropriate outputs to see if the issue persists.
  7. Contact Support:
    • If none of the above steps resolves the issue, it might be a hardware problem within the unit. You might need to contact Boss support or a professional technician for further assistance or repairs.

How to get to the input jack on a bugera 62/62 amp head.

Repairing the input jack on your Bugera 6262 amp head is a task that requires careful attention and technical expertise. If you're comfortable with electronics and have experience working with amplifiers, you can follow these general steps to access and repair the input jack. However, please note that working on high-voltage electronics can be dangerous, and if you're not confident in your abilities, it's best to seek professional assistance.
  1. Safety Precautions:
    • Disconnect the Power: Ensure that the amplifier is completely unplugged from the power source before you begin any work. This is crucial to prevent electric shock.
  2. Gather Tools:
    • You'll need a set of screwdrivers (Phillips and flat-head) appropriate for the screws used in the amplifier's casing.
    • A soldering iron and soldering supplies (solder, desoldering braid, etc.) for working on the input jack connections.
  3. Opening the Amp:
    • Remove the screws holding the amplifier's chassis in the enclosure. These screws are usually located on the rear panel or sometimes underneath the amp. Keep track of the screws and their locations.
  4. Accessing the Input Jack:
    • Once the chassis is removed from the enclosure, you should have access to the internal components of the amplifier. Look for the input jack and its connections on the PCB (printed circuit board).
  5. Repairing the Input Jack:
    • Carefully examine the input jack's connections. If you see any loose or broken solder joints, you'll need to re-solder them. Use a soldering iron to heat the solder joint and apply a small amount of new solder if necessary.
  6. Testing and Reassembly:
    • After repairing the input jack connections, it's a good idea to test the amp's functionality before fully reassembling it. Plug in your instrument and ensure that the input jack is working as expected.
  7. Reassembling the Amp:
    • Once you've confirmed that the input jack is functioning properly, carefully reassemble the amplifier. Make sure to secure all screws and components properly.

I have a Behringer Xenyx 1204FX and the DSP Display doesn't illuminate (but works by pressing down and turning the knob). Any idea why it's not on? Also the AUX 1 Send doesn't seem to be working

It sounds like you're experiencing a couple of issues with your Behringer Xenyx 1204FX mixer. Let's address each of these problems separately:
  1. DSP Display Not Illuminating: The fact that the DSP display works when you press down and turn the knob suggests that the issue might be related to the display itself or its connection. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
    • Check Power Source: Ensure that the mixer is receiving proper power and is turned on. Sometimes display issues can be caused by power-related problems.
    • Connection: Make sure the ribbon cable or connector that connects the display to the circuit board is properly seated. A loose connection could be causing the display to not illuminate.
    • Faulty Display: If none of the above steps work, there might be a problem with the display itself. You may need to contact Behringer support or a professional technician to get the display repaired or replaced.
  2. AUX 1 Send Not Working: If the AUX 1 send is not working as expected, there could be several reasons for this:
    • Routing Settings: Make sure that the AUX 1 send is properly routed to the desired destination. Check the routing options on the mixer to ensure that the signal is being sent to the correct output or destination.
    • Level Controls: Verify that the level controls for AUX 1 are set correctly. Make sure that the AUX 1 knob for the specific channel you're working with is turned up.
    • Effects/Processing: If you're trying to send a signal with effects applied, check if the effects are set up correctly. Sometimes, an incorrect effect or routing setting can affect the AUX send.
    • Cable and Connections: Ensure that the cables connecting the AUX 1 send to external devices (such as monitors or effects units) are functioning properly and securely connected.
    • AUX Master Level: Confirm that the AUX 1 master level (usually located on the main output section of the mixer) is turned up to an appropriate level.
If you've gone through these troubleshooting steps and the issues still persist, it might be a good idea to consult the user manual for your Behringer Xenyx 1204FX mixer for further guidance. If the problems continue, you may need to reach out to Behringer support or consider seeking assistance from a professional audio technician or repair service.

How can purchase a replacement fader for a RadioShack SSM-1850

Try a good local electronics supply shop as Vince says or eBay. If you can remove it is will have a generic part number from the maker. With that you can Google the number. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Mixer%20Replacement%20Fader&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-156598-679417-4 Or you can get the whole unit for $50 https://reverb.com/item/11188486-radio-shack-ssm-1850-dj-mixer https://www.google.com/search?q=RadioShack+SSM-1850+replacement+fader ..

No effects output xenxy 1204fx

Likely needs the DSP board replaced. It is the small board held on by 2 screws(if I remember correctly) and is easily replaced. I think retail cost is about $30 and can be ordered directly from Behringer.

Behringer truth 2031a popping and sizziling stoppeed working, what to check first.

Check all the wiring connections on the speaker. Check the plug in points for the cables are not loose in the body of the speaker or the connector plugs themselves are not loose in the actual plug sockets. Next you will need to get inside the speaker body to check the connections and soldered joints. Take a good look at the back of the cable plug sockets and to the back of the actual speaker cone connections. Check each wire at Both ends for damage. No sound at all suggests the issue might be at the 'Input' where the cable plugs into the back of the speaker body.

Akai ewi 5000 stops playing after a few minutes, how to fix it?

  • The battery is low. The EWI 5000 uses a rechargeable battery, and if the battery is low, it may not be able to power the instrument for very long. Try charging the battery or replacing it with a new one.
  • The power cord is not plugged in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
  • The instrument is overheating. The EWI 5000 can overheat if it is used for extended periods of time. If the instrument is overheating, it will stop playing to prevent damage. Try taking a break from playing the instrument and letting it cool down.
  • There is a problem with the instrument. If you have tried all of the above and the instrument is still not working, there may be a problem with the instrument itself. You may need to contact Akai customer support for help.
Here are some tips to help prevent this problem from happening in the future:
  • Keep the battery charged. Make sure that the battery is always charged so that the instrument does not run out of power.
  • Plug the instrument in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
  • Take breaks from playing. If you are playing the instrument for extended periods of time, take breaks to let it cool down.
  • Have the instrument serviced regularly. If you use the instrument frequently, it is a good idea to have it serviced regularly by a qualified technician. This will help to prevent problems from occurring.
I hope this helps!

The vocal cuts out completely from time to time. Comes back after a while but keeps cutting out at intervals. Have two of these and both do it. Is it my set up, is it overload in some way. Guitar ok.

The amp or pre-amp for the vocals built into the unit is failing when it gets warm. This is a common problem with electronics, that when it cools down cures itself until it warms up again a few seconds later. The units need repair or replacement.
