I posted on the Oade board as well, but maybe you guys can help as well.
http://As a follow up:
Recap..I am getting no signal via one channel when running Mk4>kc5>cmc6>M 118>xlr>Panasonic 255, but when I plug the 64 directly into the 118 I get signal in both channels.
I cleaned all the connections, caps, bodies, etc. I have narrowed it down to 1 of the cmc6 bodies not "activating" or sending the signal (is that correct language?) to the DAT when using the Kc5 active cables. It was suggested that I try another pre amp, one that uses 48 V phantom. So, I have an Sonosax, another complete set of mk4>kc5>cmc6 to test with. I plugged my problem body into the Sax and it sends signal fine. I have used every combo of pieces parts and it isn't the pre amps, actives, or the caps.
The only conclusion I can come up with is that the one "problem" body does not activate or like to be plugged into a 18 V Oade m118. I have used the 4>kc5>6>118 combo for the past year and it worked fine. One day it just stops.
Thoughts? Could there be something wrong in the cmc6 body that has stopped it from switching between the 12-48V power, depending on the pre that you use? I have no clue what to do at this point?
thanks,
