Morning all,

Had a bit of a problem with my mixer last night.

I've got a Denon 900 (4 ch, 8 inputs)

Set up for the Wedding , sound checked all was fine. Went to play my warm up set and the sound was only coming out of the left channel :eek:

Now as the first dance was only 15 or so mins away I wasn't going to do major rig changes so opted for putting a feed from the left speaker to the right speakers input. Job done I now had sound from both speakers ;)

So when I was cueing up the 2 tracks before the first dance I was quite surprised to hear it in both headphones :eek: Anyway to cut it short the conclusion was that it was only line input 1 that wasn't working all the other inputs were fine.

Anyone else had a problem like this and more importantly is there an easy fix or is it off to the repair shop?

How odd.

Sorry to ask but I take it you checked all the cables???

If so then it could be a dry joint or something??? Best to get it checked out. :)

I had a similar problem a few years back using a different mixer but found it to be a channel selection switch was depressed and it only worked on the right channel. It was very hectic that night and this made things worst. I calmed down a little and after a while couldn’t believe the simplicity of my problem.

If it's only line1 on channel 1, then try plugging the source into a different line input, and select that on channel1, as the Denon mixers are fully assignable. If it works, then you've got a faulty cable ( my bet, even if you say not) or a dry joint on channel1 input.

Update time:

Well yesterday I took it all apart rerigged with different cables and the problem was still there. So had resigned myself to taking it the repairers but you know how it is i just had to have another fiddle with it :D

so just now I again changed cables around (different ones again) still the same so re fitted the original cables and blow me it's all sorted :eek:

Very strange but there you go all is well again in Denon land ;)
