Brought a Mackie Mixer(1604 VLZ PRO) and the fuse keeps blowing every time I plug it in.

Any advice please ?

Broken transformer maybe. You are talking about the fuse behind the power connector
on the mixer yes?

Check the outlet with something else.
You can take out the fuse and replace it quite easily, but chances are there's something
wrong and that will blow too. You might need to have it looked at.

Thanks for the reply

Fix it. Well there wasn't anything wrong with it but I brought it from the US, so when it came to me In the UK the power voltages are different so when I plug the mixer in it was overpowered and blew the fuse. So all I needed was a voltage converter.

Yeah, that will do it. At least you know what the issue is now.
