Honestly, I'd send the mixer to us (Rane) for service. We have all the necessary parts and equipment for performing TTM 57SL repairs.

Drink spills are not covered under warranty, so you're probably looking at a $600 (worst case) repair fee, but it's a lot cheaper than purchasing a new TTM 57SL and we guarantee our work.

To send the unit in for repair you will need to be issued an RA# (return authorization number). To request an RA, please e-mail me your serial number, full name, shipping address and telephone number.

Once we receive the unit, our turnaround time is typically 2-3 days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Fuuuuck that's messed up!

1) Hopefully your repairs can be done for a reasonable fee

2) Don't do any gigs without a contract which states that the client is responsible for this type of neglect

3) Look into buying DJ insurance

I would Sue the Guy who Spilled the Drink if you can find him or Sue the person who had the party. Take him to small claims court no Lawyer fee involved

Although Shaun did state the facts regarding drink spills I will say that I sent in both 57s that suffered the same fate from the clubs I worked in and Rane covered them both under warranty. They are a great company to deal with.

yeah i personally would have beaten this person senseless, i mean you have to be considerate for other peoples property, and the fact that the person that spilled the drink on the mixer didn't have the decency to even offer some help finacially to get it fixed shows the character of the drunken bastard, for a mixer of this kind a bat to the face would be in order along with taking his money, at least that is the way i would have done it if he didn't comply to get it fix willingly.

same thing happened to mine bud, it sucks! I took mine to RANE and they got it right back to perfect! just send it in

and yeah as KASE stated, contracts with your equipment is a MUST
