Hi
I have almost the same set-up and I find that I usually run with the level =
set around "15" as
the ME66/K6 has quite a high output. Check the battery is the right way rou=
nd, I know its
obvious but it happens. Also when you turn it on does the red light come on=
for a few
seconds then go out? The next thing to check would be the cable, do you hav=
e another
one you can try? Can you check the wiring as the XLR which is wired for "ba=
lanced"
working needs to then be wired to the 3.5 mm jack which is "un-balanced".
Hope you sort it.
Regards
Phil
