So my new/used active is a dud, can someone give me an idea of what to look for to see if i can't fix it as i really need to use it this week. Anyone have theirs go bad and if so what went? Although I don't think there is a fix.
AKG 300/Blueline active cable btw.
I don't think I can help. But what is this thing? Do you have part number and/or link? Is it just a cable that goes between the capsule and an SE300B body? If it is just a cable, the first thing would be to check the connectors and cable conductivity.
I'm asking because I just built a battery box to power the CK9x capsules directly. (Post in mics forum.) But it was a hack job. I just took apart the capsule and soldered to the tabls inside.
