    Which inputs are you using? If 1 or 2, do you have the switch set to proper input (balanced/unbalanced)? If you can adjust different volume per input, make sure the input you are using is not muted.

    If all else fails, does it have a factory reset to return it to default settings?

    After trying the XLR's with same result I ended up sending the pre to PBN audio. Peter has been very good to me and I am in hopes he can get it back to me in working order.
