Be careful of headphone Jacks!
Posted on: 01.02.2013 by Pilar Maure
Just a quick heads up folks out there!

Just had a major headache. You would suppose the lovely gold screw in converter jacks with a pair of Sennheiser HD25 II's woudl be of the utmost quality

Just spent over an hour trying to remove the rest of the connector from my 4-chan mixer, believeing it would never come out, now to repair the mixer.
Removed after much hair pulling these remains:

Look's like there was a sheer in the plastic connector and the pin has just popped out!! so beware.

Mixer's being put through it's paces this morning again. Bit of a Heath Robinson-Glue gun repair to the headphone input though. Pain in the butt. But at least the Audio and Headphones are working again, thats all that matter's.
