Tascam US-122, blown pre-amp? (by 2 users)

Thank you for your reply to my posted problem. Although I do own the manual for this item, my copy would have been difficult to locate.

The on-line manual mentions that TASCAM maintains a user's forum, however, a search of their website seems to reveal that the official forum has been discontinued.

Using the info provided in the manual, I was able to contact the TASCAM USA office, which put me in touch with a repair center in my state. Unfortunately, after a discussion with that center, I was told that they would not service this item, and would suggest that I send it directly to TASCAM.

This particular service rep tells me that it does sound as though I have blown the right channel preamp, and there are no internal fuses that I can attempt to replace.

Guess it's off to TASCAM. Thank you again for your attempt at helping.

To all other US-122 users, be very careful to NEVER connect or disconnect a phantom powered mic while this unit's phantom power switch is on. There is apparently little to no circuitry designed to buffer the unit against a hit.
