HELP!!!! AUDIO OUTPUT JACK NOT USABLE!

Post by saharfayez »

there is a broken quarter inch connecter stuck inside my main RIGHT output jack!!! I tried getting it out for the last hour and it is really stuck in the there! I thought okay i'll leave it as is for now and route my audio out of OUTPUT 1 and 2, everything sounds fine but there are no FX'S!! I can't seem to find anyway to send my FX's out of OUT 1 and 2. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Correct - 1 & 2 are dry only
As far as I know you cannot send FX to 1 & 2

You may be able to adapt the headphone port temporarily

If its the tip then you likely will need to open it up. There is limited access to the port from inside so it will take some patience. If it's the sleeve then you're in luck because it's hollow so it will actually be easier to pull out if you have something to grip it from the inside. I like to use an 8th inch jack because they typically click in which will give it just enough grip to pull it out.

Until you get it fixed (if you are uncomfortable use a competent tech) the headphone jack will do in a pinch. Just turn your main volume down low enough that the output from it doesn’t overload your mixer...

Use this for the headphone socket plus previous advice Terry

thank you all for the responses. i ended up opening the shell and was able to remove it from there. it was just the tip so it was very close to impossible to remove from the outside.
