Apogee Symphony Mk II - Channel 1 output putting out DC, +11v on one pin and -11v on the other. This is the fifth channel that's done this. Replaced the output driver opamp, which, I think I noted was a bastard to do last time because of a giant thermal pad on its belly. This time I did much better...

Neotek SII Channel 1 won't mute when other channels solo, though LED lights dimmly. Repaired busted wire from Solo bus to the "mute/solo/group isolate switch. Cleaned pan pots of Channels 3 and 4 with Nu Trol 401b based on a recommendation. Both are quiet, but 4 still has a little distortion wh...

Brian Fox replaced a messed up Altec 175 cable with a nice new like-diameter'd mogami cable.

Some simple stuff- Neumann U48- No output. Broken wire on the mic cable (carrying one leg of the output). Cut the cable for a fresh end to rewire to the connector. ATR #4? Right VU Meter intermittently working while calibrating today. Exercised the VU/PPM switch, and came back to life. DI Boxes and ...

Finished 2 EAPreqs (2-channel rack) before my session today, so I could test it in action. I like it when I get a chance to do a whole band or set of drums through them. Usually, there aren't enough channels in the room to do that, but studio B has 12 for today, if you include the Normaphones. Unfor...

-Elsewhere- Studer C37 1/4" 2-track Intermittent sputtering noise in record mode, left channel. It was misunderstood as a repro issue, so I started probing and poking the repro amps, trying to stimulate problems. Not getting anywhere, thinking it was a thermal issue, bad contact or broken sold...

I think it's the FR-301? I'll double check when I'm back there.
It's not as good as the bench PACE station we have, but it does 95% of what you need. I'd recommend it.

Finished 42 Direct boxes, built by JSP.

Built three Mid Side Matrixes.

Someone bought a 17 year old MS Matrix which wasn't working right.
I updated to the later design before testing for problems. All good.
