Topic: Help with an AD1000

[Kevin]

My buddy Hampton is fooling around with an ad1k and needs some help
           
I seem to be having problems with an ad1000!  I am running
km184 into the ad1000 and the unit is picking up music from
the mics and processing it, but it is having problems sending
it to my deck.  I keep receiving "no input" on my
deck and have tried everything to correct but to no avail.
My 7 pin and digi-cables both work fine, but I am afraid that
there may be a problem with the 12 pin (hopefully not) or
something internal. If it is the problem, are ther any quick
fixes.  I have heard that the ad1000 sometimes has problems
"locking" onto the deck which would create the no
input.  Any help in fixing the problem would be very
appeciated!

these units are known for word clock and crystal issues, lets hope thats not it, or you might be SOL b/c i dont think apogee services them anymore, im praying that my ad500e will give me at least 6 months more, its workin good for now, hope you work everyhing out, more people will chime in here

we figured out that its a coax problem in the 12 pin, one of the two wires is unsoldered.  Does it matter which connnection you solder the coax onto the 12pin(the 12pin has a bunch of joints are there a specific 2 or will it work no matter which one you solder it 2)

just an fyi - if it's a word clock issue the sample rate light on the front will scroll and not lock

THEY STILL SERVICE THEM!

ok the problem is definately the coax out of the 12 pin.  Anyone have some desoldering tips? its a pain!!

[cpclark]

thanks for letting me know what happens when theres a problem, now i know what to look for, but lets hope my ad500e stays alive for awhile, the sound is awesom

[Kevin]

just make sure to check the soldered connection on your 12 pin!!

I loved my ad500e... I actually wish I could come up with a little extra scratch to buy an ad1000 to keep around!

apogee whore!  how much apogee clothing do you own?

[Tim]

actually none... but I do own:

2 schoeps shirts, with the schoeps logo on the left breast and "Life is Full of Important Choices" over the logo, on the back are all of the schoeps caps and a big schoeps logo

2 neumann t-shirts and a neumann polo

I think that's it...

oh and Damon, don't hate the playa... hate the game... It's not my fault your a/d sounds like McConnell's guitar.. thin and bright.

[dmonterisi]

and don't blame me that your pre/ad sounds like week old coffee, thick dark and muddy.

[Tim]

I can't wait until we meet face to face...

need a clerk this summer?

[dmonterisi]

i think we finished our hiring for next summer already...you looking at moving east?  

[Tim]

no, I'm staying out here...

already? that seems early... you east coasters, always ahead of the rest of the country.
