I've bought another Variax acoustic - I've now decided i actually prefer the models over the JTV.

Unfortunately the one I've just bought, despite looking to have had hardly any use won't connect via the USB dongle.

A quick check of the socket reveals a mashed pin (it has lost it's rubber cover)

Unfortunately Fullcompass refuse to ship to UK - part of their agreement apparently.

So i need to find either a complete Vax assembly (i'm assuming the PCBs haven't changed between Original and JTV) and swap it onto my existing mounting plate or get replacement VDI socket and solder new one in.

I can't seem to find a supply of either in UK - any ideas?

Sounds like you need a new RJ45 (VDI) Jack?

Actually  there are specific parts and DSP PCBs for each type Variax -the Variax 500 is different than   the Variax 700 ,which is different than the Variax Acoustic 700, which  is different than the VariaX 300, and Variax Acoustic 300  - and all above are extremely different than the Tyler Variax DSP Boards

And Each will only accept suitable firmware for the specific board





I assume you seek parts for Variax Acoustic 700?  ( and not the Variax Acoustic 300?)

Yes - new VDI is starting point - if that doesn't work it's a new mainboard.....if I could ever find one!!

New socket on the way. EBay to the rescue! Fingers crossed...

And successfully installed!

I now have functioning VDI port. Updating firmware as I type....
