CTW Members Evilhedfuk Posted March 13, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted March 13, 2003 Help! My EQ knobs on my mixer have just started to go all crackly esp when I turn them right down, particularly the Bass. I'm guessing there is dust inside them. Does anyone know how to resolve this problemo? Can I clean them, replace them or will I need a whole new mixer?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW DJs Ian Cashman Posted March 13, 2003 CTW DJs Share Posted March 13, 2003 if its esp when you turn them right down....sounds like the pots are getting worn rather than dust....are they well used? if so.......time to replace!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW DJs Tony P Posted March 13, 2003 CTW DJs Share Posted March 13, 2003 Try some anti static/circuit spray, could be worth a go spud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members Mr Happy Posted March 13, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted March 13, 2003 sounds like u need a new mixer (or if its ur cross fader and its replaceable then a new fader) but i would suggest u clean it 1st just incase all mixers, but especially the cheeper 1s, get like that after a while - the cheepers 1s have phyiscal contacts that ware away so ur not getting a proper connection from the slider and the circits inside the mixer. the more expencive mixers use optical faders so theres no physical contact to get warn hence better sound quallity and more durablility only found all that out 2 weeks ago in a DJ mag Quote Mr Happy's fishy fish MangaFish munch munch MSN & e-mail - mangafish@mangafish.net AOL - MangaMorgan Online mixes - http://www.mangafish.net/mixes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members Evilhedfuk Posted March 17, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted March 17, 2003 Cheers dudes! Had my mixer about 4 years now, so it is quite well used, it's only a cheapish one, need to get a new better one, but can't afford it till I have a real job. I'll try and give it a clean and see what happens. Where would one purchase some of that spray Tony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't gonna join in with this but apparently, RESISTANCE is futile Back to the topic in hand - Maplins is prolly the best place to get switch cleaner from ... well that's where i get mine anyway.
