The speaker will not power on
 

- Check there is power available to the speaker 

 

- Check that the rear panel switch is set to ON

 

- Check that the white power LED is lit (in bottom of the bass driver surround)

There is no sound
 

- Check there is power to the speakers and they are switched on

 

- Check there is power to the source equipment and it is switched on

 

- Check that there is an audio connection from preamplifier out of the source equipment to    

 

 

both of the AE1 Active speakers 

 

- Check that the source equipment is not muted 

The sound is intermittent or distorted
 

- Check your audio connections between the source equipment and the speakers 

 

- Check that the levels from your source equipment are not too high and causing the speaker  

 

 

to cut out or distort. You can cap the volume of the system by reducing the volume via   

 

 

the controls on the rear panel 

Volume levels are too low
 

- Check that the volume controls on the rear panel are not set to a low level

 

- Check that the source equipment has not been set to a low gain mode and that the

 

 

connections are still solidly in place between source and the AE1 Active 

If only one speaker exhibits a problem - try swapping it with the other speaker to see if the issue 
follows the speaker or stays on the same side. This will help to identify the cause of the issue and 
let you seek assistance for the right component.
