TheRev Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Our Beringher mixer amp died in the middle of a gig last night. No sound coming out the front and all the signal/level LEDs are slowly pulsing (not in response to an input signal, just pulsing on their own). I've tried different power leads and plug sockets and everything else I can think of but it's definitley borked. Anyone got any idea what the problem might be - other than it's being a Beringher.....

Monckyman Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sorry but it doesn't matter. It's over with that mixer,for the cost of the repair you are definitely better off replacing rather than repairing. Have you at least tried PFLing any channels on headphones and checking the signal path? Sounds like a power stage problem to me, but you wont know till you check the signal path at least.

JTUK Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Decide how much you need to spend to replace it and then decide whether you like the desk enough to get it repaired. A good tech will probably have to have access to modular parts but then this type will probably share parts with Peavey and Mackie to name a few...so they should be available...or he will be able to tell you easily enough and then that might make the decision for you..??

Moos3h Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Where are you? I have a battered old Peavey you can borrow for as long as you need if you wanted to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
