Title: UA-5 coaxil problem
Post by: phrazelle on February 15, 2005, 08:30:29 PM

my coaxil output on my w-mod ua-5 is going out.  ive had it for 3 weeks, and now its loose and gives a broken signal if it gives a signal at all.  wtf?  anyone else had this problem/know how to fix it?  should i just send it back to doug?  this sucks, cause im right in the middle of recording my band in my basement, and the coaxil output is the only digi output i can use.  {aggravation >:(}

what do you mean by loose?  if it's your cable has a loose fit, then i'd say it's the cable end that's bad. if it's interrnal, then, after only 3 weeks, i'd think you'd have no troubles getting oades to fix it.

no, the cable is not loose, its the actual internal coaxil plug on the ua-5.  i might have posted this prematurely.  i havent even talked to the oades.  i was just wondering if anyone knew an easy fix to the problem due to wanting to use it right now.  im calling doug tomorrow, so ill let you know the verdict after that.

if you have an upcoming show they may arrange an advance replacement.... can't hurt to ask.

Have you tried another coax cable to rule out if the cable itself is bad?

yeah, i tried 2 other cables.  i talked to the oades today, and they have no problem fixing it.  they are even going to let me wait till next week to send it so i can tape my band on saturday (using the rca outs)  thanks for the input all  +T all around
