Hello,

I own a SoundSkulptor MP573, EQ573 & CP5176, mounted in a Radial Engineering Workhorse “The Cube”. I own some studio staff at home, plugged into a patchbay.

Today, I was doing some tests and I have noticed that I had no signal when I tried to use this chain:

Radial JDI (Passive DI Box) > MP573 > EQ573 > CP5176 > Interface

It works when I used another DI on the previous chain or, simply, the MP573 > EQ573 > CP5176 > Interface.

The DI worked well when I tried it alone (Bass > JDI > Interface)

Could someone image what could be wrong?

Best,
Bartok

 divide-and-conquer:
Try DI>MP573 alone.

Today I did a quick test...

It points to the compressor... Probably its IN:

a) Bass > DI > Interface: OK
b) Bass > DI > MP573: OK
c) Bass > DI > EQ573: OK
d) Bass > DI > CP5176: the signal is too weak for the compressor.
e) Bass > DI > Lunchbox (MP573+EQ573+CP5176 in "feed" mode): OK
