johnydest Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So my Mixars Cut had a problem. One of the XLR outputs stopped working. The RCA outputs where both working, so I opened it to see if there is something wrong with the XLR connections. Opening the mixer I noticed that most of the space inside was empty. They could make the mixer smaller, all the weight comes from the thick metal casing. I was looking for anything unusual at the XLR area. I am not an expert but what I found was something really noticeable.Two of the capacitor where ''naked''. Thats the first time I see something like that. I dont know if this is normal.I replaced all 4 capacitors at this spot and the mixer seems to work fine for now.That was very disapointing. I know that this is a budget mixer and you get what you pay for. I know some things come out of the factorie wrong but this is surely not a ''Mini tank'' as advertised.

Guest Symatic Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 good work getting it fixed maybe the capacitors are poor quality.... unless you think you ran it really loud all the time..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnydest Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 yeah not only poor quality but if you see at the picture 2 of them have no enclosure at all... I am suprised they worked in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 they just looked like that from the beginning? i would have thought the metal lids would have blown off and be rattling around inside the mixer.... if they looked like that from the start thats kinda weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnydest Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 yeah thats the funny part, there were not empty metal lids inside the mixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Yeah those caps have exploded. Weird you can't find the enclosures - maybe they just vapourised, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Or maybe Mixars damaged the caps during assembly? Either way it doesn't say a lot for their quality control - either the caps they're using are cheap or poorly specced, or their assemblers are gash.
