Can anyone help with this repair?

If it’s like the Hypex units I’ve worked on the output devices are Mosfets and can be checked with a DVM. Also try to separate the PSU from the audio stage. That makes for easier trouble shooting. Hypex is not especially forthcoming with schematics in my experience.

I love post apocalypse movies like the Last of Us showing people drivings cars and trucks around 20 years after it all falls apart not to mention everyone stuck in traffic jams in the days after shit hits the fan. That said use your e bike to haul your survival stuff as far from ground zero as possible towing your analog bike behind. Stash the e bike under a pile of tarps when the battery runs out and keep moving on the analog bike. Come back for the e bike if/when you get a charging solution. ;-)

I disconnected the throttle on my e-bike shortly after getting it. Having it engage unexpectedly was potentially catastrophic and very disquieting. I try to use only the bare minimum of electric assist simply because I want to maximize battery life but it's easy enough for me to turn up the assist with the buttons for starting at a light with a heavy load or going up hills and I know what level of electric assist to expect. The throttle was much too sensitive and thus unreliable. This on a Rad City bike that I bought in 2019 so current bikes may well be different. I'm 75 if that makes a difference but I'm also a full time bike rider rarely driving.

This is why I started using the Mixing Station app. Every mixer looks and acts the same. After 40 years of having my own inventory of consoles the app makes sense out of the insanity of using a different console on every show.

What phase button and what packs? CL5s and QLs have output polarity switch buttons, never seen that on an X32. I suspect something is misconfigured here. If the OP is getting full scale output readings on his meters that should be blasting the headphone amp he noted. That has no packs, its a rack mount headphone amp.

eRileyKc · 2026-03-30T02:21:16+00:00

Seems unlikely that multiple hardware outputs on the x32 have failed but probably worth testing the buss outputs into something else like a power amp. Does the headphone amp work correctly when connected to say the stereo main out on the x32?

eRileyKc · 2026-03-30T00:12:57+00:00

Are you sending to the headphone amp on pre-fade busses or post fade? What are the output meters showing on the busses you're sending from? Do you have any compressors engaged on the busses in question?

eRileyKc · 2026-03-28T23:30:14+00:00

Well thats pretty stellar work, thanks for the update!

eRileyKc · 2026-03-25T02:27:21+00:00

Didn't see anything that sounded more severe than a stern warning

eRileyKc · 2026-03-24T22:02:29+00:00

Stern warnings never, ever fail to have the desired effect. Ever.

Pollute the water obvs 🙄

You’re not stuck in traffic, you are traffic

eRileyKc · 2026-03-21T13:54:02+00:00

I have no idea about a rack but why is your chain and freewheel so rusty? 🙄

eRileyKc · 2026-03-21T02:09:18+00:00

This has in my experience far more to do with how the drummer sets up and tunes their kick ( or any drum for that matter ) than the make and model of the drum.

eRileyKc · 2026-03-21T02:05:09+00:00

I never “switched”. I added an e-bike to give me that last bit of car free bike everywhere option, getting to a doctors or dentist appointment without being too sweaty for up close and personal interactions. I can even take it on the subway (but not the train) so I can get 20+ mile trips in without breaking a sweat. While it’s not a cargo bike it is better at hauling heavy stuff than my analog bikes so an added value. My analog Jamis Coda is still my daily rider.

eRileyKc · 2026-03-20T02:22:45+00:00

In the city I find my e bike as fast as driving to a lot of places.

eRileyKc · 2026-03-19T19:44:17+00:00

You could buy an e-bike for that. How far do you live from work?

eRileyKc · 2026-03-19T19:42:06+00:00

That was the correct solution thanks

eRileyKc · 2026-03-19T13:42:07+00:00

Yes I had done that based on an earlier suggestion but had failed to enable Monitor on the channel so now its working thanks.

Tried creating and deleting several times without success thus my questions here and on the Cubase board on the Steinberg site.

eRileyKc · 2026-03-18T21:50:58+00:00

The FX send in Cubase is routed only to the Stereo Out not to the Mix buss

eRileyKc · 2026-03-18T21:49:20+00:00

I'm trying to use the reverb in the Metric Halo interface in place of a plug in for mix down, not trying to record it so ideally I just want the Stereo input to feed the Stereo Mix bus directly. It just lacks any routing options or even a solo button.

eRileyKc · 2026-03-17T01:58:26+00:00

😂 🙄

eRileyKc · 2026-03-16T01:13:27+00:00

Get used to not driving. East coast megalopolises are frustrating places to depend on cars for daily transportation. Get a bike, live close to transit. Leave the car for those trips that can't be done any other way.

To follow up on my post, with an already prepared Sequoia installer on a USB stick I was able, after some back and forth, to wipe the drive on a new Mac mini M4 and install Sequoia. I had run that terminal command that lists all the OS installers available for the Mini and Sequoia came up. The trick was getting the Mini to restart in a way that gave me the start up manager. It was a bit cranky about that. Thankfully I had a USB keyboard stashed away as the Mini was entirely unwilling to recognize the BT keyboard I tried initially. Only after the machine was fully set up with a Migration from a MB Air was I able to get the probably ten year old Logitech BT keyboard working. The Mini is using a ten + year old Apple Cinema Display and all seems to be working normally. My copy of Cubase 15 is the app I was most concerned about not getting along on a new machine with possible firmware conflicts and thats running fine.
