Monitor channel strip for Elite II

[Ron Flack]

I’m looking for a backup monitor channel strip. You’ll notice in the pic it includes the red volume knob, ABC speaker selectors, talkback section. I realize it’s a specific ask, but I thought if anyone knew of a resource for one, it would help me get a fix on cost.

I’m experiencing radio interference which I’ve narrowed down to the monitor section. It manifests its self in the right monitor channel only. It’s not ground loop noise, it’s a low level buz w/ a muted crackling sound. The buz is constant, the crackling comes and goes.

I could go back to using the dangerous monitor ST, but I love the user experience of the Elite’s native system and would love to work this out.

Thank you kindly in advance for any thoughts,

Replacing the strip won't solve the problem you say you are
experiencing, You need to methodically find the SOURCE of the
interference and make suitable corrections as after all the LEFT channel
does not have the issue (as you say). Having your video monitor over the
desk is probably not a good idea as the desk has relatively little
protection from RF sources which did not exist when the desk was
designed and built.

Agreed. This is what my late mentor called a “susceptibility problem”. There’s every possibility that a replacement module would exhibit the same issue. 

A few questions:

-Does the issue appear on all three (A,B,C) monitor outputs? 

-Does it appear no matter which CRM source is selected?

-What is the noise spectrum of the “buzz”?

-Does it appear on the Studio output as well?

-How close is your studio to the nearest cellular antenna array?

-Is this a new thing, or an “always done that” thing? If new, when did it start?

These, and other “divide and conquer” type questions are the key to finding the answer. 

Best,

You would typically start by switching off and or disconnecting EVERYTHING ELSE apart from the desk and monitors. Even the monitors off if the interference is still there and use headphones or possibly a battery powered 'practice amp' if you have one.

The chances of any desk modules or monitor 'creating' interference on one channel only or even at all, is VERY unlikely.
