Hi
I would suspect that the left mix bus is shorted to ground or that a channel is 'contributing' to it all the time which,without the DC bus being engaged you won't hear in the monitors until you solo something else.The FETs are used in a 'switching' mode rather than in a linear amplifier fashion so I would not really be looking at these until other things were checked.

Hi Brent,
Have a look at the switching FET's in that circuit. I don't have my docs in front of me but I believe they are 2N5638's.
best,

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has seen this before? An extremely raised broadband hiss noise floor. When stereo solo is engaged the right side is fine.

The left solo amp is also the mono solo amp so clearly it's related. I just swapped out all the BJTs and the JFETs in that area along with the solo bus amp (U4). No change.

Haven't yet prodded around in situ. My back was hoping to avoid that (but somehow I don't think it's going to). Just thought it might ring some bells.

Thanks
