I have an OpenDRC-DA8 which is very sensitive to esd static because if it gets a shock it goes over with a noise at the highest volume. I have now destroyed two weeters. What can you do about it ..

I had a preamp that died a while back from an ESD event, have since switched to plastic volume knobs and haven’t had any problems since. You must log in or register to reply here.
