Focusrite Voicemaster Preamp Repair Advice

jspark · 3rd April 2013, 08:00 PM

Hi Everyone,

My Focusrite Voicemaster went down this week.
Three of 6 output LED's are lit no matter what level is coming through,
and there is a hiss sound (but no signal).

I own an analog multimeter from radioshack and a small electronics repair kit from them.
Rolls up sleeves
Anyone want to help a complete newbie troubleshoot and repair this thing?

At least post a picture on the circuit card. A schematic is better. Most likely you blew up the input circuitry. But you should check the power rails first.
