Hey man, is there anyway you could make a video on updating firmware please, presonus helps none, and they won’t reply to my support tickets, everything is up to date on the computer side, but the mixer is on v1.1 should be like 2.1 I believe, I’m lost, I’ve read every forum and ever letter in the Manuel and can’t figure it out, I just want to wirelessly control my studio one 16.0.2 usb and idk how, I would really appreciate a video on connectivity, even if it’s not the 16.0.2 but a studio live it would help, please and thank you I appreciate it
After replacing the voltage regulators, i don't understand why the only connector within reach of the internal "Lamp" BNC connector cord, is a ground pin on a part of the chassi steel. Is it supposed to be non-functional?
what forum did you go to help you investigate and determine the solution? my church has one firewire and one USB version of this with some issues, example: channel 8 of USB version doesn't work firewire version works but sometime, it crashes and shutdown.
I didn’t really find a forum, I so happened to find it on TH-cam, the main issue is the voltage regulators on the factory board, I believe it is 3v, instead of the 5v I put in, as for the USB I have not tried that, since I do have the FireWire version I’m not worried about, maybe if I got my hands on the updated ones I could help more.
I hate these mixers with a passion. They always die on me. We still have one in the shop and we got it the day they came out. The left output never worked out of the box. lol We used the mono output for every gig and now it lives on as the iPod preamp in the shop.
I see a lot of issues containing that, outputs, and inputs, it seems like it’s this board, the 16.4.2, and the 32.4.2, I feel like they got something wrong in making these, of course the newer ones are wayyyyyy better
This is a great mixer , i have this same model but mines is the one with usb. I had it for like an year now and you can get great sound out of this It took me some time figuring out how evetyhing works cause is digital and i was used to pure analog . i use my tablet to control the mix so the only work i do is to turn in on ,connect the inputs and adjust gain the rest i do it with my tablet
I just bought the 16.0.2 USB also several days ago, and took it to the shop to have the 5V regulators replaced. I Have not even used it yet, I looked up many Videos, and it is a very common issue with these mixers to have the 5V regulators go bad
How long did you have this mixer before the issue arrived? I just bought the 16.0.2 used, that was less the 3 months old, and will be swapping out the regulators, before i even use it. I have seen many issues with them here on youtube alone so will nip it in the bud. Do not want to be in the middle of the show and it decides to stop working because of the 5 volt regulator
I looked this mixer up on reverb, it was already faulty(inputs 1-12 were not working). I also did research and learned that the 3v was the problem, over long periods of time of use the 3v regulator will give out. It’s been quite a while now in my practice room using this mixer, and I’ve had 0 dropouts, all the auxes, and channels are working just fine! And I understand that if you are in a middle of a show, you do not want the mixer to drop out. I haven’t seen another video stating; “5V regulator did not work” but I always take a back up 16 channel(XR18)
@@seantallica2020 Appreciate the response, the regulators you replaced look like the 5 volt regulators. The part number you posted is for the 5 volt regulators, and many videos showing them going bad.
@@seantallica2020 The part you posted is for the 5 volt regulator, not sure about the 3 volt. Others have posted the same exact same problem, it seems to be pretty common. So am getting them replaced before i put it in service.
Thank you so much. I had the same problem and I fixed it by following your works.
Hi do you know where I can get hold of a replacement main power board for this unit?
@@scottchr1 I’m sorry I do not know.

This would help so much🙏

thank were did you buy the regulators and do you have the model you purchased thanks
I bought them off of EBay:
3PCS STMicroelectronics L7805CV Voltage Regulator IC REG LINEAR 5V 1.5A TO220AB
i have the same problem.....what parts did you put in there.....what is the marking of that part....thanks for your reply
Thanks for the video, I replaced mine and now the channels work but there is a terrible static in each line at different levels.
I have that same issue

Have you tried the TRS on channel 8 also?

@@seantallica2020 Yeah those voltage regulators are either too weak or too poor quality, or too badly cooled.
