I've got these AT853 stereo mics & an SP battery box. Unfortunately, it seems when I record I only get sound on one of the channels. Though I'm a
, I'm otherwise technically inclined and learn by doing so I checked out a few things already:
- Swapped the caps and confirmed both seem to work on the "good" channel
- Checked the board inside the batt box ... all cables still appear to be soldered
The one thing that looks strange is the cable where it meets the mic body. On the "bad" channel it feels loose in comparison to the "good" channel. It actually seems to twist a little. I'm wondering if this means I have a bad cable - either a break somewhere or a disconnect inside the body.
So my questions (in no particular order) are:
- Has anyone dealt with something like this in the past?
- Does anyone who has more experience have any idea what might be happening?
- How would I go about confirming my suspicions or otherwise figuring out what's up?
- Any recommendations for getting this repaired? Any idea how much it would/should cost?
Thanks,
Todd
