SOLD!
Up for grabs is a used DCX2496 unit. I bought it two years ago from Musicians Friend, and I love it. However, about six months ago, I noticed that it would occasionally start putting out intermittent static mixed in with the audio signal. After doing lots of research on the internet, I tried one of the recommended solutions which was to isolate the PCB where the XLR input and output jacks are mounted from the metal casing to prevent inadvertent contact. I did so by inserting two layers of plastic film (strips of overhead transparency material) underneath the PCB and taping them in place. After doing that, I ran the unit for at many many hours playing music through it into my PA rig, and I have not been able to duplicate the problem. In other words, the repair job seems to have worked.
So, if it worked, why am I selling it? Because by the time I found out what to do about it and actually got around to doing it, I has already purchased a Driverack 260 unit which I am now using in my PA rig, so this baby, although it seems to be OK, is now redundant.
So, now that I've disclosed the history of the DCX unit, I'd like to get $100 + shipping for it (conus). This is a very low price for one of these, but since it has had issues in the past and I'm selling "as-is," I don't feel good asking for any more than that.
If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them.
Here's a link to the manual.
Here's a link to several pictures of the inside of unit. In the first two, you can see the plastic film that I inserted under the XLR jacks.
The pic below show the unit in my rack about a year ago. If you'd like more pics, let me know.
