lots of hiss/white noise, even on low volume - 01/22/05 04:56 PM
Hey all,
This in regards to some non-Axiom equipment, so I hope it's okay to ask advice about this issue (don't worry, I own quite a bit of Axiom gear). I do some work as a composer and have a little studio in my den where I have an old pair of Alesis Monitor One's powered by an Alesis RA-100 amp and a Mackie 1202VLZ mixing board. Lately, when I turn everything on, there's an awful lot of white noise coming through my speakers, even at a very low volume. In the past few weeks, it's gotten so bad and is so distracting that I've just been using headphones. I've heard about dust getting into the mixing board that can cause this, but I don't know how to clean it. Could it be that or something else? Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!
