Hi all -
I just finished my first MP573 and so far it has gone pretty smoothly. I went through the setup guide and got everything tuned correctly, and when I plug mics in I get sound. So far so good.
I am encountering two issues:
[list type=decimal]
[*]The LED is red with signal and green as it approaches clip which is backwards. According to the docs it should be the other way around, green with signal, and red clip/saturated
[*]I hear some noise in the signal. I only hear the noise when there is a mic plugged in (even a condenser without phantom power), and it gets louder when I turn either gain stage up.
[/list]
I have double checked all the caps and diodes to make sure they are oriented correctly. I tried taking the DI out/replacing JP3 and there is no change in behavior.
Anyone have any ideas how I can diagnose from here for either of these issues?
Thank you!
