Need help?
Do you have a question about the ZED60-10FX and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Only main left output sounds , is there a kind of trouble ?
This issue could be caused by several factors:
1. Panning Issue: Ensure the pan control for the channel in use is centered. If it is panned fully to the left, only the left output will sound.
2. Connection Problem: Verify that the right output cable is properly connected and not damaged.
3. Faulty Right Output: The right output jack or internal circuitry might be damaged.
4. Mono Signal Issue: If the source signal is mono and panned to the left, it will only output to the left channel.
5. Balance Control: Check the main mix balance control and ensure it is not turned toward the left channel.
6. Channel Assignment: Ensure the channel is routed correctly to the main stereo bus. Misrouting could result in an output to only one side.
7. Playback Device Issue: If using a playback device, ensure it is outputting a stereo signal and not only a left channel signal.
These steps should help identify and resolve the issue.
