audio balance on shure whitelabels
Hey guys,
Over the past months, I have been upgrading my dj setup from the shitty Numark Battle Pack to professional equipment. A few days ago, my last order came in and my setup is quite amazing now. I got two black Technics MK2's and Whitelabel needles to accompany them. My mixer is the Vestax PCV-275.
My problem lies with the Whitelabels. They are great needles and the sound quality is definitely there. However, the audio balance seems to be off center on both needles. The one on the left table needs to be turned a tad towards the right on the channel balance knob so the audio is centered. The one on the right needs to be turned a tad towards the left to be centered. I tried swapping the cartridges on each table but it is still the same except vise versa from what I said above. I even put one Whitelabel on the Numark table to make sure the Technics were good to go. Same problem. Everything is grounded properly.
It's strange though because the crap needles that came with the Numark pack are balanced perfectly when used, so this rules out any problems with the mixer. I have the tracking force, tone arm height, and anti-skate all set to 2 respectively. The overhang on the needle I adjusted and I lengthened it so the tick mark is set at the fourth line. The overhang settings don't seem to have an impact on this problem. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is some line interference somewhere? Any suggestions?
I don't like the idea of having to set the balance every time I spin a different track. Is there anything I could do or am missing? Here is my setup if it is necessary.
2x Technics SL-1200 MK2 Tables
2x Shure Whitelabel Needles
Vestax PCV-275 Mixer
Alesis M1 Active MK2 Monitors
Sennheiser HD-280 Pro Headphones
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
