D6 problems
in [Live Sound]

From: Phildo on 6 May 2010 15:32 My Audix D6 seems to have developed a fault after just a few months. Is now very noisy and 14db quieter than the D112 they also had in the studio. I suspect it has gone unbalanced but am sending it back to Audix to get them to fix it. A friend of mine said he has had several engineer had the same thing happen to them and suspect they must have made a bad batch. Anyone else heard or experienced similar? Phildo
From: JWald on 6 May 2010 19:53 My D6 went south just a month or so ago. Working fine one day, dead the next. Audix fixed mine. Great service, but I got the feeling that they had a bad bunch myself. -- J Wald -- "Can't do it Sally" Tom Hagen Godfather I ---- "Phildo" <Phil(a)phildo.net> wrote in message news:hrv5g5$2sc$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... > My Audix D6 seems to have developed a fault after just a few months.

If this is the case, a foam windscreen might avoid a repeat of the damage. -Denny
