When ever i switch the cross fader assignment switch to "B" the sound only comes out of the left channel. But when they are set on "master" or "A", its fine.
Probably there are dirty contacts inside the assign switch, also it could be a bad solder contact on the switch or there around.
The switch can either be removed and cleaned or replaced.
Cleaning is a bit delicate procedure, but can actually be done, you need to take the switch apart, taking care not to damage any of the parts, then you need to clean the inner contacts and the contact making clamps with some fine sandpaper.
Be sure to put everything back together as it was otherwise the switch may not work properly or it may not work at all (be gentle with the contact making clamps, they can easily be damaged / squashed).
It could also be a problem with faders or preamps, but i would take a look at the switch first.
Thanks for posting a comment, i'm sorry my suggestions didn't help, however, it's kinda hard to examine a mixer having that little info and without being able to look at it.
I hope i got it right this time (please correct me if i'm wrong): any input channel that is assigned to position B of the crossfader will only give a left channel output. This suggests that there is a problem with any of these:
- BEFORE THE FADER: common signal path B into the crossfader (faulty input mix right channel preamp for position B if there is one or faulty connection to crossfader, also any components in between)
- AFTER THE FADER: common signal path B from crossfader to the output preamps (faulty connection to fader or faulty right channel output preamp, also any components in between)
- crossfader (it either doesn't get right channel signal or it won't mix it into the output preamp), could be damaged (i've heard they're quite durable, but anyway..), or have a bad internal or external connection
- position B right channel output preamp (already mentioned) or anything from there to the right channel output preamp from the mixer
You can test these by injecting a signal to various points (mentioned above) and seeing if it comes through. You can do it with a signal generator or a so called "signal injector", but you can also use an alternate signal source like a CD player, you just need to bring some line level signal directly to the preamps, fader, etc. to see where it gets blocked and that's where you'll most probably find the cause for the trouble.
In general, try to see if there are any bad solder points or loose connections on the crossfader or anywhere around, these may occur with extensive use of the equipment, so it might something as simple as that, but then again, i could be wrong once more and the problem is totally elsewhere.
Anyhow, thanks for the feedback and i hope you can fix it this time...
good luck
