Soundtracs Technical Help

At last we have designed and built a NEW replacement PSU for some of the SOUNDTRACS consoles.They provide an incredible quiet MIX buss : you wont believe your ears ! ;quieter than when new I would say , the whole sound completely "opens up" , like putiing a new engine in your car .

For the techies' out there :

This is a pic' of the SCOPE trace of the MIX on a SOLO : its only 10 mV !! (about a third of the original SOURCE fuzz ) And heres the good bit :

The SOURCE psu ( for MEGAS and SOLO) costs 300 GBP inc UK post (on an exchange basis :you send your old unit in and I will strip it down same day , by arrangement) and post back , so could be a 3 day turnaround dood to door ! (UK )

And the GRID supply ( for SOLITAIRE ) is only 400 GBP exchange

Its a fantastic investment if your going to hang on to your pride and joy :) for a while longer

We can also build NEW supplies for the MR ,PC MIDI , and IN LINE range for 350 GBP ( needs extra POWER / RAIL )

Anyway back to TECH HELP :

Apologies to all you Soundtracs users out there but I have had to introduce a £30.00 subscription to provide password protected technical help pages. (This is the price of a decent curry and beer in UK!)

The new pages will provide "one to one" tech. support and the subscription is a one-off and lasts for FOR LIFE! But please read on if you can't stump up the 30 quid.

We can also help out on other UK ANALOGUE consoles like Soundcraft, Allen+Heath and Studiomaster as I have had quite a few of these models to bits over the years, but not Behringer or Mackie - sorry.

So thanks for your support on this AND for using Soundtracs products. We have been working with them since 1982 and hope to be here at least another 20 years to help you keep 'em alive. We have also decide to provide a free USER PDF manual within the subscription (apart from the Solitaire, Jade and Sequel which are absolutely huge and we couldnt get them in the scanner!) I havn't included the circuit diagrams as they dont scan very well but will do "one offs" on high-res if needs be.

There are also Tech' bulletins, popular circuit diagrams and Q+A emails, typical faults and solutions AND MOST IMPORTANT if you cant get an answer or solution from the tech. pages (I'm still building the site) I will give you "one to one" email support until we have the problem cracked!

Please follow the PAYPAL link below and youll get a PASSWORD from them (it's best to copy and paste this in to the request box)

You can pay for your Tech Support access by PayPal or Google Checkout. Please click one of these two links:

If you really cant afford the 30 quid or reckon your desk isnt worth fixing for 30 quid then I will of course oblige with one-off tech questions - I'm always here to help.

Not wishing to blow my own trumpet but David Lowe recently has troubles with his PC Midi, we got it all sorted and here is his return email :

Hi Tim,
You were of course absolutely correct, I switched them around and the desk is all working again. Fantastic. I should have realised there was something amiss when there were 4 ribbon cables and 24 channels. 3*8=24, what does the other one do? Anyway all fixed so thanks again and the best £30 I ever spent.
Dave
