Saw this video when I was researching various mixers, this guy's mixer has problems with the inboard power supply, something that plagued first edition 1640's. Mine is the later one.

About 2 or so weeks ago after sending mine back for repair I bought a second hand 1640 inc flight case off a former BBC outside broadcasting engineer for a good price, he has now moved over to the DL1608 for the majority of his outside PA hire jobs. He rated the 1640 very highly, thought the pre-amps were very good, obviously he was/is used to very high end pre's, coming from a professional organisation like the BBC.

So I basically copied all my faulty mixer settings and transferred them over to my temporary 1640, which I already have a buyer for once mine has been returned.

The 1640 is slightly different from the 1640i, doesn't have built in F/W, the mixer itself is a little bit shorter in length.

Fingers crossed for the return of mine very soon.

:)
