Hello,
I'm new to this forum and not a DIY'er so I apologize if anything comes across as crude.
I have a couple of Focusrite Blue processors... A 315 MKII EQ and a 330
compressor.
Anytime I engage a "function" on either unit, the big red "IN" button LED dims momentarily. Fuse problems were suggested and eliminated as a cause
I have asked around and have found that the general consensus is that the power supplies are "current scavenged". I have used identical units at
NYC's fine Sterling Sound studios and theirs don't dim and sound noticeably better (cleaner, more headroom, less noise).
Has anyone had exprience with this?
Do I need a higher rated PSU?
Maybe a higher spec transformer? Lundahl? LL7902?
Other options? Focusrite will not release schematics and I want some more info before I start messing about
While on topic I'd like to upgrade the PSU and Transformer on my SONTEC MES432 C equalizer. Any thoughts? The unit is in perfect working order but I can't help but wonder if there's something more I can get out of it?
I realize that some warning to me might be in order...
