Topic: ADI-8 DS startup problem

Hi,

I went away for a week and powered down the rack, including an 003R and an ADI-8 DS. When I returned and powered up the rack, the ADI-8 DS now exhibits a strange random light blinking behavior.

The Input Lo  green light blinks fairly regularly.

Oh, wait…..after 10 minutes of more or less random blinking, just as I was typing the previous sentence, all green and red input lights flashed together a few times and now the front panel appears to be showing lights properly.

The ADI-8 DS normally precedes a Digidesign 003R. When I bring up a Pro Tools session. everything appears normal now.

The gear is in a relatively clean environment and air conditioned. I've had it for at least ten years. #003295. Should I;

1. Be freaked.
2. Power down and pull the ADI-8 DS, open it up and exercise any cable connectors inside by unplugging and replugging.
3. Email the forum…oh, did that.
4. Move along, nothing to see here……


Thanks,

Ty Ford

PS; the ADI-8 DS has helped me make a nice sounding living for the last decade (or more)….thanks for that.

Ty,

good to see you here on the RME forum...

The ADI-8 seems to have an issue with the power supply. This is likely to be easily fixable. Please contact Jeff of Synthax US (jeff.petersen@synthax.com) for serrvice options and you'll have it up and running again soon.

Thank you Daniel,

Per the above, it seems to have corrected itself after being on for 10 minutes.

I'll ask Jeff for more info,
