7. ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

• ບໍ່ມີພະລັງງານ:
  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the AC outlet.
  • ກວດ​ສອບ​ວ່າ​ປ່ຽງ​ໄຟ​ແມ່ນ​ເຮັດ​ວຽກ​ໄດ້​.
• ບໍ່ມີສຽງອອກ:
  • Ensure all audio cables are correctly connected to the inputs and outputs.
  • Check the GAIN and TRIM settings on the relevant channels.
  • Verify that the correct input source is selected on your receiving device (audio interface, mixer).
  • If using digital outputs (ADAT, AES/EBU, USB), ensure sample rates and clocking are correctly synchronized between devices.
• ສຽງບິດເບືອນ:
  • Reduce the GAIN or TRIM level to prevent clipping.
  • Check the input level of your microphone or line source.
  • Ensure the PURE/DRIVE mode is set as desired; DRIVE mode intentionally adds harmonic distortion.
