Troubleshooting
No Sound
Always check if all the cables and cords are connected. Always turn off power to the area before
checking the wires, to prevent electric shock.
If everything works properly and there is still no sound, revisit the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure
they were followed during installation. If everything was installed correctly and there is still no sound, you
may want to consider bringing in a professional to take a look at your speakers.
Low and Poor Sound
If your ceiling speakers are working but the sound volume coming from them is low, check the speakers
to see if they are well insulated. If the speakers were installed and there was no insulation around or
behind them, you are going to want to add some. Adding insulation will help to buffer the sound and
stop it from going up into your attic. It will also make sure that the speakers are secure in the holes, and
won’t vibrate.
Uneven Sound
If you put the insulation in unevenly, then this could result in uneven sound. Make sure to put in the same
amount of insulation around each speaker. If some speakers are packed tightly, while others just have
the insulation loosely around them, then you will end up with different levels of sound absorption.
Sound Warping
If the sound coming out of your ceiling speakers is loud enough, but seems to be warped or distorted,
your treble or bass levels may need to be adjusted.
If there are not many pieces of furniture in the room and the floor has no carpet or rug, then you will most
likely have to set your treble to minus. With very little in the room to absorb the sound, too much treble
can make the sound bounce off of fixtures in the room, making it tinny sounding.
With the bass, if the speakers are too close to a wall and are not aimed properly, then you will need to
set the bass to minus, to stop the low tones from bouncing off of the walls or large pieces of furniture.
