Topic: Low output anomaly with UFX+ mic input 9
Hello,
I experienced a strange issue this morning with one of the onboard microphone inputs of my UFX+. I keep the same Audio Technica condenser mic plugged into that input every day for use with VOIP software such as Discord, Zoom, etc. The only change I ever make to it is turning off 48V phantom power before going to bed each night.
Today I powered on the unit, then my computer, and enabled 48V phantom power on mic input 9 within TotalMix FX. This time, for reasons unknown, even after turning on phantom power the output level was extremely low. Even tapping (gently) directly on the microphone grille only produced an output signal of around -50dB. At this point I turned off 48V, waited about one minute, then turned it back on. The mic input is now completely back to normal, with an expected output of around -12dB.
Any ideas as to what might have caused this anomaly? I just tested the other three mic inputs and they are all dead quiet and working normally. Could this mean that mic input 9 is dying or experiencing some type of rare failure mode?
Thanks in advance.
