Sounds bad, try switching the whole table connection, and check the ground connection.

how about buying another one from guitar center, then swapping the units and returing your faulty mixer.

You might have to find a way to serial numbers.

For all of you that have doubts about Rane Empath or any Rane, do not let this detract you from buying their gear. They are top notch and they stand behind their products. This was probably a 1 in a million shot that he got one with a *minor* problem that was easily fixed. My Empath is nothing but quality through and through. So go out and get one of these things...there worth every penny!!!

Let it be known, i've had less problems w/ my empath than any other mixer i've owned. Rane is still the best mixer manufacter.

I thought you guys would like to hear that I contacted Rane about getting my issues fixed and they said that my mixing board might be within spec. Rane said for their crossfaders to be within the acceptable threshold they can have a volume difference from channel to channel of 20%. He said I was welcome to send the mixer back to have them check it out but if they find that the volume difference from channel one to channel two is ONLY 20% they will NOT fix it and will send it back to me.

This is the 3rd Rane mixer I have bought and I will say that if Rane does not take care of this for me it will be my last.

damn that sucks! Your problem still wasn't as bad as mine: right stereo channel would just crap out. Still i would send the mixer in. Have them check it out. And if you wanna make sure they'll find something wrong try to wear out one of the eq or line phono switches. That'll work
