Tidbits

When you get the fault description of an DDX3216 Program is not loaded, this is caused by an interruption during a firmware update attempt. In this case the flash eprom is erased and the mixer does not start up. There is an emergency tool (DDXupdate V1.11) available (Ask your BEHRINGER support dept.) To start up a DDX3216 when the firmware upgrade has failed. Proceed as follows:

Common failure point: Crystal Q3 (32.768kHz). Problem: runs for awhile, then locks up. Mouser part number 559-NC38-LF. Made by Fox, part number NC38.
