LH Analog Audio Issues
Okay,
I’ve inherited a system with my new gig that has an KonaLH card, and breakout box.
I had originally thought that I was the victim of a bad cable out of the breakout box, so I replaced the audio ch2 cable. It was still crackling and soft. So I switched over to the XLR breakout cable. Still have a CH2 that is unusable. CH1 sounds perfect, nice and clean.
Is this a known issue? Should I send the card to Kona for repair? I haven’t yet tried the AES/EBU audio since I don’t have anything that’ll play it.
I couldn’t really find anything on the forums about a problem like this, but wanted to konw if it was something easy to fix.
Thanks

move the CH 1 cable that works fine into channel 2 – is there any audio now ?
The Kona LH came with an “octopus” break out cable that did not use the Kona KL breakout box. Do you know where this cable is ? You can try using this cable, to confirm that the card is ok (or broken), and this is not just an issue with the Kona KL box.

That’s exactly what I’ve done to confirm that it’s the analog output off the card and not a cable / breakout box / board input issue.
I get the same noise if I go:
Kona Card -> breakout box -> Board
Kona Card -> Octopus Cable -> Board
It’s not the input on the board, as I’ve used multiple and it follows CH2 Analog.
My gut is that the board got fried at some point before I got here, and no one noticed or cared.

then you know what to do next !

Yeah, Rip the card out and send it back to AJA.
I ended up talking with an editor who’s spent some time on the system as well. He went “oh yeah, I forgot about that. I think someone turned the phantom power on and blew the output”
Just what I don’t need…
