Troubleshooting Tips

My BiG SiX is warm to the touch
BiG SiX's SuperAnalogue audio circuits are designed to run warm and BiG SiX contains a lot of electronics in a small space.
BiG SiX is designed to cool front to back, so ensuring ventilation inlets and outlets (front and rear) have clearance is important to
reliable operation.
There is no output from the monitors
Check that there is something selected in the monitor source section of the console (see page 13). A monitor source needs to be
selected (typically MAIN) to hear something from the monitor outputs. Also check that the ALT button isn't pressed with nothing
connected to the Alternate Monitor connections.
When I connect only to a Left Input, there is also a signal on the Right
This is a feature of the stereo inputs of BiG SiX (see page 11). If an input is only connected to the left input of the stereo input pair
(i.e. Stereo Channel inputs and External Inputs) then the signal is automatically sent to both left and right paths.
There is no signal from the B-Bus output
Check that the the B-Bus Mute button is not pressed. This can be found under the B-Bus output level control which is to the left of
the Main Fader. This button is a simple way to turn the Mute/B-Bus switches on the channel strips into permanant Mute buttons or
simply mute the B-Bus Output if it is being used as a secondary bus output.
There is no signal from the SuperAnalogue Channels
Check the Channel Insert button. If this is ON with no Insert Return connected to the TRS connector then the channel signal will
be muted. The Insert Send is always present and only the Insert Return is switched.
There is no signal to the Main Bus
Check the Main Fader Insert button. If this is ON with no Insert Return connected to the D-Type connectors then the Main Fader
signal will be muted. The Insert Send is always present and only the Insert Return is switched.
