6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| The mixer won't turn on, and the light is flashing. | Try replacing the power supply of the mixer. You can use a phone's power adapter, a power bank, or connect the mixer to a PC. |
| No response when inserting U disk. | Check whether the PC-MP3 switch at the back of the mixer is turned to the MP3 position. If it is, check whether the U disk is damaged or exceeds 32GB. |
| There is no sound when the condenser microphone is connected to the mixer. | Make sure the condenser microphone is connected via XLR, and press the 48V phantom power button. |
| Computer doesn't recognize mixer. | Check whether the PC-MP3 switch at the back of the mixer is turned to the PC position. If it is, confirm that a data transmission cable is used to connect to the computer. |
