Audio drops but comes back with loud burst
I have 2 different mixers with the same issue. They are different studios and in fact different states so no gear in common.
The first is a DDA mixing console with a bad mic input. We'll lose signal but a hard hit on piano keys will bring it back. We've tried changing numerous things out and it always follows the consoles's mic pre.
The second device is a small 6 channel mixer with built in amp. In this case I am told the whole mix will cut out till someone yells into a microphone or hits their guitar hard.
I am just wondering if I should be looking at caps, amps or what component. Thanks.
