GHOST Troubleshooting
Possible Cause
1a) Phantom Power is off
1b) MIC/LINE switch is set to LINE.
2) MIC/LINE switch is set to MIC.
3) The PHASE switch is set in the
wrong position.
4) The Input Gain is not set properly.
5) The LOW-CUT FILTER (LCF) is
engaged.
6a) The REV switch has reversed the
Channel and MIX B inputs
6b) The MIX B SRCE switch is set to
CHAN.
7) The TAPE TRIM is not set properly.
8) The REV switch has reversed the
MIX B and Channel inputs.
9) The MIX B SRCE switch is set for
CHAN.
10a) The level is down.
10b) The Return is not assigned to any
buses.
11a) The EQ is being bypassed.
11b) The EQ is assigned to MIX B.
12) The EQ is being bypassed.
13a) The EQ is being bypassed.
13b) The EQ is assigned to the
Channel path.
14) The LMF/HMF EQ only works in
the Channel Path.
Recommended Solution
1a) If you’re using a condenser mic
requiring phantom power, then press
the 48V switch on the rearcon panel
1b) Make sure the LINE switch is in
the UP position.
2) Make sure the LINE switch is in the
DOWN position.
3) Make sure the PHASE switch is in
the UP position, unless you purposely
want to invert the phase of the input.
4) Use the INPUT SENS knob, fol-
lowing the instructions in this manual,
so the signal registers 0 on the meter.
5) Make sure the LCF switch is in the
UP position.
6a) Make sure the REV switch is in the
UP position.
6b) Make sure the MIX B SRCE switch
is set to TAPE (UP).
7) Use the TAPE TRIM knob, follow-
ing the instructions in this manual, so
the signal registers 0 on the meter.
8) Make sure the REV switch is in the
UP position.
9) Make sure the MIX B SRCE switch
is set to TAPE (UP).
10a) Raise the FX LEVEL knob.
10b) Assign the Return to the desired
buses, using the ROUTING switches
and BAL knob.
11a) Make sure the EQ IN switch is in
the DOWN position.
11b) Make sure the EQ MIX B switch
is in the UP position.
12) Make sure the EQ IN switch is in
the DOWN position.
13a) Make sure the EQ IN switch is in
the DOWN position.
13b) Make sure the EQ MIX B switch
is in the DOWN position, that REV is
UP, and the MIX B SRCE switch is
set to TAPE (UP).
14) The LMF/HMF EQ cannot be
assigned to the MIX B path. The only
way to use it with the MIX B signal is
to set the REV switch to the DOWN
position, thereby reversing the
Channel and MIX B paths.
