Well, after several months of healing (torn wrist tendon) I'm back at connecting up the Elite. I hooked up the 24 channel snake box that came with the console and plugged in a mic. I see the CH 1 meter reading the signal, but I'm not hearing a thing. Being a Neotek newbie and not knowing much about this board, it's probably something simple that I've overlooked. I've tried other channels and mic cables, but still no sound. I spent several hours yesterday to no avail. So far, all I have connected is the master section snake (I'm playing back music through all speakers fine) and the snake box. What could I be doing wrong?
