Removal of Audio Output Cards on MFX2

Removal of Audio Output Cards on MFX2

2009-03-15 by michael.poulain

Hello All,

Hope you all enjoying your weekend. 

Have found out why channels 5 & 6 on my MFX2 in CMI III mode were not working - one of the audio output cards on the back is defect. As I am a new CMI owner have run into another small problem. I was advised by my good friend Peter in Sydney to swop output 3 & 4 for 5 & 6 to make 100% sure that we have found the fault. The only problem is, that I am having a little trouble removing the cards from the back side of the machine.

There are 2 from hand detachable screws per output card. would somebody please explain to me the procedure for removing the cards safely.

Thanks for your help as always gents

Best Regards

Michael

Don't take the thumb screws all the way out, just screw them back in about 2
or 3 turns and them use them as grips to pull the card out.

Only screw them all the way in once your fault finding is over.

Dear Steve,
Thanks for the tip. I removed the cards 3/4 & 5/6, and the beasty is working again on full trusters - must have just been a loose connection somewhere. If you could keep your eye open for me mate for a full functional Series III Keyboard that I can plug into my MFX2. At the the moment I am using as a master keyboard a Döppfer LMK2+, but to have an origional Series III keyboard for the beasty would be wonderful.
Hope business is well and thanks again for your help
Best Regards
Michael
