Hey Ike, Alright. The board came from an audio/visual dept. from a university. All the paperwork that came with it claim it is a neotek series 1 console, though I have seen pictures online that look different. I got the punchdown tool and hardwired the adc panel on the back, channels 1-8. The board has a total of 16 ins, but only 8 subs out. The 8 subs out I have hardwired out, going to a presonus interface. The meters were working, but stopped. I am being honest when I say it might have to do with the fact that I don't understand everything on the board. The manual is kind of tough to understand, so I am leading myself to believe it has to do with the A,B,C,D pots/knobs, since I don't really understand them. The A.B.C.D pots are on each individual channel strip, and there is also A,B,C,D pots that say foldback and echo. Also, the other section of the board that doesn't seem to be making sense is the playback area with push-in buttons like foldback, vu, moniter, and another I forget. My conclusion is that the LED VU meters are not working because of the way the ABCD pots and that playback buttons are configured. Does that sound like I am on the right direction?? The sound does travel to and from the board. The center needle meters work. Long story short, the sound is reaching the board and the signal flow is making it to the presonus. I need, obviously, to get these led meters working so I can see the signal strength of each individual channel. Also, are those LED meters detecting the signal strength coming in or going out of the board? The reason I ask is because it seemed to start working when I wired the subs out....I have the subs individually going out to the presonus, instead of going out from the master. Well Ike, I hope that is enough. I am not in front of the board, so I hope I got it right. I am going to get this solved, so if you need more information, I will gladly supply it. Thanks,Colby

Please let us know more about your console and the configuration of your set-up...and the symptoms of the problem. Like are you getting audio through but just not seeing the meters, etc. best, Ike [email protected] wrote: > Hello, > > My name is Colby. I am the new owner of a Neotek series 1 console.
