My focusrite pro-40 interface is dead.
Bummer!

It was not showing power or powering on.
It’s now well out of warranty.

It has a faulty power supply board Part: FP07M063.
It would appear that the fault is on the HV side and has destroyed the smd components as well as blowing the fuse.
I suspect the power FET went bad.

I e-mailed the above to focusrite support and guess what????

They will ship me a new PSU board for @ £24 - Cool

the downside is the lead time - @ 4-6 weeks

I can wait

£24 v £400

Good deal, Focusrite seems to be a really good company!

Just ran through a whole load of load tests and I think everything is cool.

I have really missed this bit of gear.

Now it's catch-up time \:\)

I have a focusrite voice pro platinum with the optional digital output board.
Many bells and whistles.
But I can't seem to get a decent sound out of it. Had it since new.
I have a Rode classic (1) and an AKG 414 that I use with it. You'd think I could get something decent out of it.
I've turned everything off but the preamp side and still.
I'm sure it's me.
I need tweeked.
