Mic was tested and works but when plugging into my mackie onyx blackjack via a balanced XLR cable, it does not seem to work. I have pressed the phantom power button but it just doesnt want to pick anything up. any ideas? Tried both inputs. Thanks :)
SOURCE: I have two xlr combo inputs which have phantom
This sounds bad... I suspect that a noise suppression cap on one side of the bad channel has shorted... possibly due to a static discharge.
Test for this doing this: Using a meter, with nothing plugged in and phantom on, check the voltage at both pins 2 and 3 to pin 1 of the XLR connectors. If you find either pin 2 or 3 is much lower than its mate (they both should be 15 volts to 48 volts positive), then one side noise filter cap probably has shorted. Unless you are electronically adept at repair, take it in for servicing.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice, makes sense to me the way you describe the test protocol. At current bench rates, I'll have to see if I can fix it myself. "
