How can I cure low frequency hum in my Manley Recording Equipment?
Low frequency hum is often caused by a ground loop. Try these steps to resolve it: 1. Lift the chassis to signal ground lift jumpers located inside the unit. 2. Remove the ELOP+ from the rack to ensure it's not touching any metal. 3. Use a 60-0-60 balanced AC power transformer.
What to do if my Manley Recording Equipment ELOP+ has no power and no indicators?
First, make sure the IEC plug at the rear is fully inserted. Then, wait at least five minutes before trying the power switch again. If it still doesn't power up, check the fuse on the PSU.
What to do if my Manley ELOP+ unit is switched on but there's no sound?
Begin by testing your IN and OUT cables with another piece of equipment to ensure they are working correctly. Next, check the front panel and try the BYPASS function.
Why is my Manley Recording Equipment ELOP+ Not Completing its Power-Up Cycle?
The protection circuitry may have been triggered. Allow the unit to cool down completely and then try powering it up again. If the protection mode continues, the unit will need to be returned for service.
What to do if only one channel is functioning on my Manley Recording Equipment?
Since this is a two-channel unit, you can swap the tubes to identify the faulty one. Replace one tube at a time, making sure to place the correct tube in the correct base.
Why do levels seem wrong and there's no bottom end on my Manley ELOP+?
This is probably a wiring issue. Carefully inspect the cables, as they may have been modified for use with a specific unit and are not suitable for other situations.
What to do if my Manley Recording Equipment ELOP+ sounds distorted?
Distortion can be caused by a wiring issue or a mismatch. Try changing the order of the processors in your setup; this often resolves the problem.
What to do if my Manley Recording Equipment ELOP+ Makes Noises When The Front Panel Is Tapped?
If your ELOP+ makes noises when the front panel is tapped, the tubes have likely become microphonic over time. The only solution is to replace the tube.
What to do if I am hearing a lot of hiss from my Manley Recording Equipment?
If you are hearing a lot of hiss, try swapping tubes to find the problematic one.
