Topic: ua-5 as a/d converter

[mmmatt]

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.
