Druss Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) I just bought a six channel Nady mixer for practicing, tonight is the first time I used it. The sound would just cut off then come right back, what will cause it to do that? This is what I bought, I know it's a cheepo when it comes to mixers but still we weren't pushing it that hard. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=630441 Here's some more info. We were using Yamaha AS108II speakers they handle a Maximum of 280W's but we didn't have any of the volume pots over half way. All speaker cables are brand new and we had the problem with each of the mic's. We wont practice again until Saturday night were going to try to set it up farther away from the drums and amps and we had it plugged in to a power-strip/surge protector so will plug it straight in to the wall, thats all we can think of. If we still have the same problem what should I do? Thanks..... Edited April 12, 2006 by Druss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 How long have you had it? They might fix it for no charge. Check this link out, and see if it's still under warranty. The symptoms your describing could be a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druss Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I just got it yesterday brand new. I sent Nady an E-Mail but they said it would take a while for a response if they haven't got back to me by Friday I'll call. I'm just hoping it's something I'm doing wrong but I don't know what it could be, I'm afraid I got a bad mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Sounds like you got a dud, I'd just return or exchange it. Edited April 12, 2006 by Gorecki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything you buy new, if it gives you problems, return it before the return policy is up, don't wait around. I've made that mistake before.

marksound Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 If you got it from Musicians Friend, call them up. Usually if a product is bad, they'll give you a return authorization and send out another one. I had a brand new 6L6 break in my hand and they sent me replacement, no questions. Wherever you got the thing, call the seller. They should make good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druss Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I just ordered a Peavey PV10 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Liv...xers?sku=631368 we just need a small one for practicing I got the Nardy because it was 300W's but that doesn't mater if it doesn't work. At least with Peavey I've got a good named brand mixer. I'll send the Nardy back Monday just in case the Peavey doesn't make it in by Saturday.

Well if you look into the spec's of the Nady, I'll be willing to bet its 300w is at 10% THD (total harmonic distortion) or something and when broken down to a REAL power rating (.05%) will probably be more like 50w-75w. Amplification spec's can be twisted heavily so knowing *what* that rating is based on is the *truth teller*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druss Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks Gorecki I bet they saw me coming I really don't know what I'm looking when it comes to the specs I cant find how many watts the Peavey is but I figured it would have to be a better mixer then the Nady.

Druss Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) whoa I almost screwed up big time, that Peavey PV10 isn't a powered mixer I called and canceled the order, tomorrow I'm going to order a Behringer Europower PMH880S Powered Mixer. I've read a lot of mixed reviews on Behringer some good some bad I just hope I don't get a lemon. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Liv...xers?sku=631251 Scratch that they didnt have it in stock I probably got lucky. I ordered a Yamaha EMX212 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Liv...xers?sku=630192 Edited April 14, 2006 by Druss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
