Mixing Console Restoration & Repair — QSC Premier Authorized Service Center

Donald Lee Service provides comprehensive mixing console repair and restoration services, from small-format desktop mixers to large-format recording consoles. As a QSC Premier Authorized Service Center, we have direct access to factory parts, service documentation, and technical support for all QSC products including the TouchMix series. Our console repair capabilities go far beyond simple cleaning — we perform deep component-level diagnostics and repair on every channel strip, bus, auxiliary, and master section.

Our Console Repair Process: Every console that enters our shop receives a systematic, channel-by-channel diagnostic. We inject calibrated test signals into each input and measure frequency response, gain, noise floor, and signal-to-noise ratio. We test phantom power voltage on every channel (must be 48V ±4V), verify all EQ sections, check auxiliary sends and insert points, test pan, mute, and solo functions, and measure master output levels. For digital consoles, we also verify sample rate synchronization, network connectivity, scene recall, and firmware version.

Component-Level Console Repair: Unlike shops that only clean faders and replace knobs, Donald Lee Service performs true component-level console repair. We replace failed op-amps (NE5532, NE5534, TL072, and others), rebuild coupling capacitors, service input transformers, repair phantom power switching circuits, replace failed VCAs, and restore power supply sections including filter capacitor replacement and voltage regulator service. We also repair and replace faders (Alps, Penny & Giles, Bourns), motorized fader assemblies, rotary encoders, pushbutton switches, and LED meter displays.

Digital Console Repair: Modern digital consoles require specialized expertise. We service touchscreen displays, replace failed LCD/TFT screens, repair ribbon cable connections, update firmware, configure network settings, service USB and Ethernet interfaces, reload corrupted scene memories, and replace failed DSP components. We are one of the few shops in Florida equipped to perform these advanced digital console repairs.

Why Choose Donald Lee Service for Console Repair Over Competitors: Many shops advertise console "restoration" but focus primarily on cosmetic modifications and op-amp swaps. Donald Lee Service provides true diagnostic-driven repair — we identify and fix the actual problem rather than performing blanket upgrades. Lead technician Donald Lee has 50 years of electronic repair experience and dual factory authorizations (Fender Gold and QSC Premier). We repair all types of audio equipment under one roof, and every repair includes a 90-day labor warranty. We accept consoles shipped from anywhere in the United States.

Our Repair Process — What to Expect

Step 1: Submit Your Repair Request. Call (407) 978-6690, email service@donaldleeservice.com, or submit a repair request through our online customer portal. Describe the symptoms your equipment is experiencing. You can bring your equipment to our shop at 1014 N. Hoagland Blvd., Kissimmee, FL 34741, or ship it to us from anywhere in the United States.

Step 2: Professional Diagnosis. Our lead technician Donald Lee personally inspects every piece of equipment. We use professional test equipment including oscilloscopes (both analog and digital), audio signal generators, the Hickok 799 tube tester, multimeters, and specialized diagnostic tools. The diagnostic fee is $50 for most equipment ($100 for mixers over 16 channels).

Step 3: Written Estimate. After diagnosis, we provide a detailed written estimate listing all required repairs, parts, and costs. We never begin work without your approval. The diagnostic fee is waived if you proceed with the repair.

Step 4: Component-Level Repair. We repair at the component level — replacing individual failed resistors, capacitors, transistors, ICs, and other components rather than swapping entire circuit boards. This approach is more precise, often more affordable, and preserves the original character of your equipment.

Step 5: Testing & Quality Assurance. After repair, every piece of equipment undergoes thorough bench testing to verify the repair is complete and the equipment meets factory specifications. For amplifiers, we test output power, frequency response, noise floor, and all functions. For mixers, we test every channel, bus, auxiliary, and output.

Step 6: Return & Warranty. We contact you when your equipment is ready for pickup or shipping. All repairs include a 90-day labor warranty. You can track your repair status at any time through our online customer portal.

Donald Lee Service vs. Other Pro Audio Repair Shops

50 Years of Experience: Lead technician Donald Lee has 50 years of hands-on electronic repair experience — significantly more than most competing repair shops. This depth of experience means faster, more accurate diagnoses and repairs across all types of audio equipment, from vintage tube amplifiers to modern digital consoles.

Dual Factory Authorizations: Donald Lee Service holds both Fender Gold and QSC Premier factory authorizations simultaneously. Very few repair centers in the United States hold both. This means we have direct access to genuine factory parts, service documentation, technical support hotlines, and warranty processing for two of the world's most important pro audio brands.

True Full-Service Repair: Many audio repair shops specialize in only one category — amplifiers only, speakers only, or consoles only. Donald Lee Service repairs amplifiers, mixing consoles, speakers, keyboards, and synthesizers all under one roof. Musicians, churches, schools, and venues can have all their equipment serviced by one trusted technician at one location.

Walk-In Service in Florida: Unlike repair shops that require you to ship your equipment across the country, Donald Lee Service offers a physical walk-in location at 1014 N. Hoagland Blvd., Kissimmee, FL 34741. We serve all of Central Florida and also accept shipments from anywhere in the United States. You can speak directly with the technician who works on your gear.

Transparent Pricing & Online Portal: We provide written estimates before any work begins, a $50 diagnostic fee that is waived when you proceed with repair, and a modern online customer portal where you can submit repair requests, track repair status in real time, and view invoices. This level of transparency and technology is rare among independent audio repair shops.

Component-Level Repair Excellence: We diagnose and replace individual failed components — resistors, capacitors, transistors, op-amps, transformers — rather than swapping entire circuit boards. This precision approach results in more accurate, more affordable, and longer-lasting repairs. Our shop is equipped with professional soldering stations, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and the legendary Hickok 799 tube tester.
