===== "Channel 7 XLR port is dead"; "Channel 8 is far too quiet (probably a dead preamp)" =====
===== "Channel 7 XLR port is dead"; "Channel 8 is far too quiet (probably a dead preamp)" =====
Initial testing suggested that channel 8 was working, but that channel 7 had a faulty mic preamp; channel 7's mic input was very quiet but the line input seemed OK. However, in the stage-by-stage analysis of of the channel that took place when the case had been removed no problems could be found. Both channels would go on to work perfectly with mics in the recording of [[Have I Got News For York]] that took place at the end of the month. Failing an act of cunning sabotage by [[hist:University Radio York|URY]], the only credible explanation that anyone could think of at the time was a dodgy solder joint that was knocked back into place whilst removing the PCB from the case. If either of these channels doesn't seem to be working as expected, please don't hesitate to contact the techies as above.

== Retirement ==
As of 2019 the functional status of the MX2642A is, at best, questionable. It has been completely replaced and is not used any more.
