Troubleshooting
Common repair-relevant faults are lack of output (often caused by missing/insufficient phantom power, bad XLR cable, or damaged XLR connector) and intermittent audio from loose internal solder joints. Diagnose by verifying 48V phantom at the preamp/interface, testing with a known-good XLR cable and another mic input, and visually inspecting the XLR connector and cable for damage; open the body to inspect solder joints and capsule connections if basic checks fail.
