When Sarah Thompson (name changed) brought her Yamaha MG12XU mixing console to Computer Assistance in Oxford, she was worried her live gigs were done. The mixer, a staple for her band’s performances, had developed crackling audio and unresponsive channels—a nightmare for any sound engineer.
Our team at Computer Assistance, located at 154 Oxford Road, Cowley, Oxford, specializes in professional music equipment repairs. We diagnosed the issue: several capacitors in the audio path had failed, causing signal distortion. Capacitors in mixers like the Yamaha MG12XU are critical for filtering noise, but they degrade over time, especially under heavy use.
We used advanced soldering techniques to carefully remove the faulty capacitors, ensuring no damage to the surrounding circuitry. We replaced them with premium ceramic capacitors, which offer better longevity and sound clarity. After soldering, we cleaned the board to prevent future corrosion and tested each channel—Sarah’s mixer was back to delivering crisp, clean audio for her gigs.
