I left my Mirage on while I went out and had a power failure. Of course it wasn't plugged into a surge protector. When I came back, I noticed the UD signal ...
... interesting . the *dreaded* "uD" flash. Does anyone think that this might be caused by a *damaged* power supply then ( from the power surge)?? BUT what...

... Thanks for the reply Tom! It does sounds like it's turning and there is a faint hum but it doesn't make that louder booting sound. Aside from that, all I...

Hi All, I've just become the proud owner of a Mirage DMS rack and bundle of sample disks :-) I have to say that I just love the sound of this unit, it is...
The flickering is normal -- in fact the more load you put on the beast, the more noticeable the flickering becomes. As long as it loads samples and sounds...
Great to know this is normal behaviour, many thanks for the help Gordon. It loads samples fine and sounds great, so I'm happy :-) The Mirage must have the most...
