My Mackie SR1530 is powering on but no sound.

If your Mackie SR1530 is powering on but you're not getting any sound, there could be a number of potential causes. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check your connections: Make sure that all cables are properly connected and securely plugged in. Check both the cables going into the speaker and the cables that are connected to your audio source.
  2. Check your audio source: Make sure that your audio source is turned on and properly connected. Try connecting a different audio source to the speaker to rule out issues with the source.
  3. Check the volume levels: Make sure that the volume on both your audio source and the speaker are turned up. Try turning up the volume to see if you can hear anything.
  4. Check the input settings: Make sure that the input settings on the speaker are correct. For example, if you are using an XLR cable, make sure that the input on the speaker is set to XLR.
  5. Test the speaker with a different audio source: If you have access to another audio source, try connecting it to the speaker to see if you can get any sound.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, there may be an issue with the speaker itself. It may be a good idea to contact Mackie customer support or a qualified audio technician for further assistance.

Mixer signals is on but qsc 1450 amp not giving any sound when main output is connected but when run aux send to amp it gives sound. What might be the problem.

If you are experiencing an issue where the QSC RMX 1450 amplifier is not giving any sound when connected to the main output of your Mackie 16 OK mixer, but works when connected to the aux send, here are some possible causes and solutions:
  1. Check the main output level on the Mackie mixer. If the level is too low or muted, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Increase the main output level on the mixer and check if the amplifier produces sound.
  2. Check the cables connecting the mixer to the amplifier. If the cables are damaged or not connected properly, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Ensure that the cables are connected securely and are not damaged or broken.
  3. Check the amplifier settings. Ensure that the amplifier is set to the correct input source and that the input gain level is set correctly. You may also want to check if there are any protection modes or limiters enabled on the amplifier.
  4. Check the speaker connections. If the speakers are not connected properly or are damaged, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Ensure that the speakers are connected correctly and are not damaged.
  5. If none of the above steps work, there may be an issue with the mixer or the amplifier. You may need to contact a qualified technician to further diagnose and repair the problem.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when working with audio equipmen

Mackie CR1604 mixer hum on all channels

I doubt the issue will be the regulators if you have the correct voltage on them. Check where the hum is coming from. What frequency is the hum; 50/60HZ = mains hum = bad ground. 100/120HZ = power supply hum. Affected by a control somewhere maybe.

Master volume not registering at correct level. Profx12

This unit will require an amp. I have set up several mixers and I do not watch output level numbers, you can get desired volume using amp. It does no good to drive input levels high output levels high and the turn down amp. Lower your inputs so no light flashes set master gain to -6 output and then raise amp volume. I have set up 16 mic mixer set individual levels and the feed to main mixer and controlled levels with one fader. I have taken mixes from main mixer to another mixer to control audio on video feed. A good band does not let member's set their levels . the audio person set levels, bad bands have members to set own level with resultant a mess that gets louder and produces sub par event. Remember good bands sound good and bad bands only sound louder, and bad

Ive got a 1801 mackie sub. Humming/ buzzing with no other sounds. Signal light is bright, doesn't flicker like the overheads. Thanks in advance.

Why does my subwoofer make a humming noise? The voltage difference between a subwoofer electrical ground and the equipment ground can cause it to hum. This can happen because of the irregular current flow in your audio cable. Turning on the volume too high can also cause a hum.

Mackie 16.4.2.vlz pro. All the channel overload lights come on as soon as power is applied. Changing control/switch positions has no effect.

You probably have issues with caps in the power supply....I would check that first...open it up and look for buldging caps and replace any that you find....

I have a Berhinger B115 that works fine for about 20 minutes or longer at about 1/2 power and then shuts off. Wait 10-15 minutes and it will turn back on. I had this issue with an active Mackie speaker years back and it was a protective relay that was failing. Any chance that someone would have a schematic and a place to order parts?

Hello Redman, I sent you the link to download the service manual of model B112, it is quite similar Check for possible false contacts I hope you can solve the problem Greetings Franco Dosil Hola Redman, te envio el link para que descargues el service manual del modelo B112, es bastante similar Revisa posibles falsos contactos Espero puedas resolver el problema Saludos Franco Dosil https://elektrotanya.com/behringer_eurolive_b112d_sm.pdf/download.html http://www.uns.nu/pdf/Behringer_Speaker_B115D.pdf

My Mackie Tapco speaker makes a awful loud buzzing sound when powered on. Why

Sounds like an earthing problem , check your cables and make sure none of the cables have strands that could be shorting down to earth causing the buzz

The fx will stop working intermittently on my mackie cfx16, what could be the cause?

First thing to do is get a can of contact cleaner. Take off the knobs and spray it into the reostats below. Spray into all the switches and even into the sliders. Move everything back and forth - 0 to 10 (to clean them). If we're lucky, that will fix it. Good Luck

I have a Mackie 1604 vzl pro mixer. It has two weak channels and a non working channel. Could give some tips on what I should look for when open up the unit?

First, unless you are a trained or self-taught audio technician, don't attempt to repair the unit yourself. Let the professionals repair it. You can damage it beyond repair if you don't know what you're doing. Non-working channels are caused either by bad connections, bad solder joints or a dead IC op-amp. The causes of weak channels can be more challenging to track down. I'd suspect bad connections, dirty controls or connectors.

MACKIE DLM 12. TURN ON, DISPLAYS "VOLTAGE", AND THERE IS NO SOUND

Glenn, Does it say 'overvoltage', or simply 'voltage'? For the clearest result brother, contact Mackie - 1-800-898-3211 is their tech line - they're super cool - I just always picture the guys at Mackie sitting around reading comic books and shooting guns into the air. good luck!
