Electribe EMX1 Panning problem

Post by Milesy303 »

Hi folks. I am trying to route different loops into my outboard mixer and coming into a problem.

I basically want to use L/R and 3/4 as 4 single mono outputs and then take them to my mixer. Parts coming through 3 and 4 I pan hard left or hard right to go to either channel 3 or 4 on the mixer. This is fine, but one channels L/R panning does not seem to work. If I pan hard left there is leaking on the right channel, and if I pan hard right the left channel still plays.

Am I doing anything wrong? do I need to change anything?

thanks.

You're doing nothing wrong, I'm afraid it could be a problem with your unit itself.
The strange thing is that you pan hard right and the left channel still plays?!

I'm guessing it could be a problem with the routing to the tubes or the tubes itself because output 3&4 work normal and they are not processed thru the tubes.
Hope this makes sense :)

How is your stereo balance on output 1-2? Right in the centre or more to the left?

seems centered to me.

I have noticed a persistant hiss coming through the unit through, even with the valve gain turned right down.

thanks

how is your unit hooked up.... this is kind of a long shot, but if you're hooking up through the headphone jack some plugs make it mono. Could it possibly be running in mono?

the left channel on my ESX leaks over into the right channel when i pan hard left. The left also seems to be always louder by 1 to 2 decibels no matter what i play.
.....Never noticed this before, than again i didnt have a DBX compressor hooked up to my ESX like i do now. Either its my compressor setting or some faulty RCA's.
Hopefully its my RCA's.
