| Sounds like the mixer is shot man...I hate to tell ya. Learn to mix without the crossfader if you can, and as far as the headphones if you can deal with it, then cool, save up for a new mixer |

Yo slut. From my experience the mixer is sweet. My solution was to mix with the channels and pretend there was no cross-fader. As for the headphone problem, that beats me.
How's the set-up hanging anyways ? |

1/8" to 1/4" adaptor can not be the problem, it is most likely the actual plug on the headphones or you have a broken wire inside the not working earphone. Plug is bad in 80% in all cases when only one earphone is working. What brand and model headphones to you have? Some of them have plugs that can come apart...if so, check for proper pos and neg connection to the plug, if plug doesn't come apart, I suggest taking bad earphone apart to check connection, you may have to resolder the pos/neg wires, if that doesn't work, then the earphone is blown...(ps...if you have a Voltmeter, try taking both earphones apart and check for continuity, that is, checking that the wire isn't broken anywhere where you can't see, if there is continuity and all connections are fine, your last resort is to take regular pair of headphones, like from portable CD player or a walkman, using the adaptor, plug them into mixer and see if both earphones are working, if yet, then on your DJ headphones, the bad one is blown, if you got same problem, then it could be the female plug on your mixer.)
btw: lots of mixers have stereo/mono button or switch, if you have such a switch, check it... I've done this myself a few times before...lol!!! |
