• Check continuity of electric instrument cables.
• Check the batteries or AC power source of any "foot pedal" effects
processors connected to the Direct Input.
• Make sure that the instrument cables have standard tipsleeve 1/4"
phone plugs. DO NOT use TRS plugs.
• Make sure that mic cables are of good quality and that the shield is
properly connected. Avoid excessive length.
• Make sure that earth ground connection is maintained via the AC
power cord. DO NOT use an isolator.
• Make sure the unit is located away from known sources of radio
frequency energy.
Most users of the PRECISION 8i have invested much time and money
in their selection of microphones and preamplifiers. We recommend that
you give some consideration to the microphone, instrument and output
cables you select, as well.
• Use high quality, low capacitance cable. Braided shielding and
"star quad" type mic cables will perform better in electrically noisy
environments. Manufacturers such as Canare, Mogami (and others)
make high performance cable of this type.
• Some "house brand" cables are made by quality manufacturers, but
others can be inferior. Be careful. Use cables with highquality con-
nectors (Neutrik, Switchcraft, etc.).
• Our studio testing has shown that some of the more esoteric gui-
tar/instrument "super-cables" do, indeed, sound better. Noticeable
improvement, but at a stiff price. Try before you buy!
• Avoid excessive cable length.
• Replace damaged connectors and cables.
