TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

 

Simple  troubleshooting  does  not  require  sophisticated  measurement  equipment 

and can be easily undertaken by users. The technique should be to segment the system in 
order  to  identify  the  faulty  system  component:  signal  source,  controller,  amplifier, 
loudspeaker  or  cable?  Most  installations  are  multi-channel.  It  is  often  the  case  that  one 
channel  works  and  others  do  not.  Trying  different  combinations  of  system  elements  can 
usually help to isolate and locate the fault.  
 

Some  cabinet  faults  can  be  quite  easily  identified  and  corrected  by  the  user. A 

simple sweep with a sine wave generator can be very helpful though it MUST be made at a 
fairly low level to prevent damage to the speakers. A sine wave sweep can help find:  
 

 

Vibrations due to loose screws.  

 

Air-leak noises: check that no screws are missing, particularly where the accessories 
attach to the cabinet.  

 

Vibrations due to a front grille badly positioned on the quick release fixings. 

 

Foreign object that has fallen into the cabinet after repair or through the ports.  

 

Internal connection wires or absorbing material touching the loudspeaker diaphragm: 
check by removing the bass loudspeaker.  

 

Loudspeaker not connected or phase reversed following a previous inspection, test or 
repair.
