[QUOTE="Louis Somers, post: 218427, member: 16890"] Disclaimer: I probably qualify for "caveman" (as defined in #27). My TM16 was randomly rebooting (started during a live session with 250+ audience... ouch!). I figured I would "reflow" the power connector soldering points. After doing so I could not get connector j1402 back again... Threading it through the slot was hardly possible. In fact I didn't have to disconnect it in the first place, I just did so in order to "have a closer look". Searching for a video on someone reassembling a TM16 I stumbled upon this thread... Then reading [URL='https://soundforums.net/community/threads/qsc-touchmix-16-sound-problem-fixed-other-touchmix-versions-may-also-get-this.212354/#post-215971']post #10[/URL] I realized that I didn't have to go to all this trouble in the first place! It's that 6-pin connector! While "reflowing" the power connector I did see some boiling and even splatter of flux trapped inside so maybe it wasn't completely useless. However the reason I'm reacting here is my great surprise and disappointment... I always had the impression that this mixer had balanced outputs, and that balanced outputs would by nature eliminate problems with unintended phantom power due to a built-in transformer (similar to a ground-loop filter)... So either the TM16 does not have balanced outputs or my perception on balanced out/in is wrong... Could someone enlighten me? [/QUOTE]
