Master Volume Bug?

Hi guys,

first post... with a possible bug :)
If you play around with your master volume on your KPA's, does it sometimes jump around?
Like every once in 5 or 10 turns?

Try this: go to the maximum possible master volume level and slowly turn the knob counter-clock-wise to lower the master volume. If you reach the minimum level, very slowly turn it clock-wise again to go to the maximal output level (...and so forth).
If you do this a couple of times - every once in while - you'll get a sharp jump (e.g. from -20dB straight to -3.7dB).
Or sometimes it is e.g. at -15dB and you turn it clockwise slowly to -11dB - you keep turning clock-wise then *bam* it drops to -33, even though you were turning clockwise.

Does anyone else get this with the master volume pot once in a while or is my pot *problematic*?

P.s. I'm using firmware 6900

The pot is sensitive to the turning speed, just bring it in the near to where you would like to be and then adjust it slowly.....use the normal volume to reach unity .

Yes, I know it reacts to turning speed.

The prob is, that sometimes I turn it slowly from -11dB to -12dB (lower volume)... and BAM - it jumps to -2dB (even though I was slowly turning counter-clockwise)

If your one is fine then I don't think it is a bug?!
Sounds more like a problematic pot on my unit?

Sorry, dunno - I haven't tried the monitor out yet.
Only the master outputs through active speakers...


So, when you try the master volume thingy, does this random jump happen with your MV pot? (Please note that you have to turn it a couple of times for the above to happen... and when it happens - it does so randomly)
