Phone Jack Fault

Hi All,

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced a problem with the headphone jack in the Fantom S? During a gig I was going straight in the desk from the headphone jack and lost sound.completely. I was checking it out last night through a set of headphones and it seemed that the phone jack was indeed faulty. If I played around with it enough the volume dropped off and the patch sounded like it was being played in a cave 50 Miles under! This resolves the headphone issue however during the gig I was also into my keyboard amp out of Output A(Mix). This completely went as well. I checked this out last night also and found that there was only 50% of normal volume coming through. I researched the manual and came accross the unbalanced / balanced appendix so hopefully that\'be the reason for that. Any experiences / advice greatly appreciated.

Balanced cables TRS will give you more volume and much lower signal/noise ratio. So I would advice you to always use these cables on any synth. As regards to your hardware problem with your Fantom, to me it is probably a fault with your synth if it hasn't done this before, you could try a different set of cables, if your lucky this could be the problem.
