Hey all,
I have an oade digimod ua-5. I've noticed with my matrix rig recently that when I use the rca ins, the right channel is ~1 db lounder than the left. This really fucks me up as I have a stereo slider for the main fader on my mixer, and a 12 segment VU. It really makes monitoring a bitch. Has anyone else noticed a problem like this?

Sounds like maybe your fader is dirty...clean it....
Looks like a lot of mixer gear is moving away from those shitty slider things...and toward the good old knob...
And hmm 1 db...have you used a test tone to verify?...I find my channels are rarely even...

The mixer is new, and if I bypass the ua-5, going straight to my jb3, it is maybe ~.1 db difference, I used a white noise track to verify, but It was very noticable in the field. a full 1 DB is a pretty big deal. While testing I also used/swapped different connectors annd also tested the jb3 optical in with the same test tone. I'm sure it is the UA5, I just never noticed it because the old mixer had l/r main faders and only a 5 seg VU. I can just adjust my mixer on each channel, but that is a pain in the ass and it is rendering my main VU on the mixer useless.
