Manley MicMAID 4x4 Matrix-Switcher 10/2010 - present - Manual (Page 10)

TROUBLESHOOTING
NO POWER, NO LIGHTS, NADA - Probably something to do with AC power. Is it plugged in?
Is the mains voltage set correctly for your country? Also, check the fuse on the back panel. A blown
fuse often looks blackened inside or the little wire inside looks broken. A very blackened fuse is a big
hint that a Very Bad Thing occured. Try replacing the fuse with a good one of the same value and size.
If it blows too then prepare to send the unit back to the dealer or factory for repair. The fuse is a protec-
tion device and it should blow if there is a problem. If the unit works with a new fuse, fine.
LIGHTS BUT NO SOUND - Make sure your microphones and micpreamps are connected through
the proper XLR jacks. If a mic input is left open (or a micpreamp send/return is open), there will be no
sound when that particular signal path is selected.
Does one or more of your microphones need phantom power? If the microphone needs it and the
MicMAID is not providing it, there will be little or no audible signal. See page 5 for details on how
to turn on the phantom power for each microphone. Remember - in the interest of your microphones’
safety, “RECALL” in the menu system does not save phantom power, so you have to manually turn it
on each time you use the MicMAID.
LEVELS SEEM TO BE WRONG, NO BOTTOM - Try different cables and check the path
again. The “no-bottom” symptom often means the connection on Pin 2 or 3 is not really connected all
the way through. Could also be a mismatch between a particular mic and a particular micpreamp, or a
low-frequency rolloff filter on either piece of gear.
