K3 KRX3

Barry Simpson

I have just completed the installation of a  KRX3 into my K3. I found the installation process difficult but after a minor hiccup with the synthesiser calibration – I had to reload the firmware – it is working fine and appears to perform exactly the same as the main receiver.

 

However the bad news is that the front panel microphone socket is no longer operative although the rear microphone connector works fine. And yes I have tried the various menu settings but to no avail.

 

It would seem that all the plugging and unplugging has disturbed or broken one of the microphone socket connections. Before I start delving into the rig again has anyone any suggestion where the problem might lie. I seem to recall someone else having a similar problem after installing the KRX3.

 

Any input would be appreciated.

Hi Barry,
Do make sure that BOTH connectors between the Front Panel and DSP
boards are mated. If you have the connector with the single row of
pins out of it's socket then the Front Panel mic socket will not
work.

So far, I have managed to achieve this TWICE !
