just grabbed this. never had a club worthy mixer before. should the aux output level on a mixer be stronger then the master? i get the same output level with aux @ 25% as the master @ 50%. thanks!

might be time for an upgrade
apparently you weren't the only one disappointed with the original connector
That is the Achilles heel of the 56. The best way to deal with it is if you're bringing your mixer to the clurb, stick the phone jack connector in one of these dealies:
Keeps that fragile thing protected until you plug it back into the mixer.
Funny tho, the reason I bought the 56 was because after many years of trusty use, I think I blew up my old 52 because the tab was broken off, and went in an out real fast a couple times in a row while I was rewiring stuff, and blew out the insides. Perfect excuse to make the upgrade.
That said, should the mains on the quarter inch be louder because they're balanced? Am I wrong or is there a +4/-10 difference?
The new 56 is not worth upgrading to if you already own the old 56.
Motherfucking
What's the deal with that? Worst design ever. Aside from that though, the Rane 56 is my perfect mixer.
Same on the Empath. You have to turn down the channel faders and turn up the master volume to be able to be heard over the music, which is a pain in the ass.
