Problem

Possible Causes

Action

No Output

Amplifier

Make sure the amplifier channel is being fed 

an input signal (preferably via a “signal input” 
indicator on the amp).

Check that the amplifier channel’s volume is 

turned up.

Connect the speaker and cable, which had 

no output to another amplifier channel, mak

-

ing sure an input signal is fed to the new amp 
channel. If you then get output, the problem 

was the amplifier channel. If not, then the 

problem may be in the cable or speaker.

Speaker Cable(s)

Replace the cable(s) connecting the loud-

speaker system and amplifier.

Questionable 
or Intermittent 
Output such as 
Crackling

Faulty Connection

Check all cabling for proper connector 
contact. A bad connection can result in 
intermittent contact or dramatically increased 
resistance, which in turn can cause reduced 
output or noises unrelated to the signal.

Improper Power Tap 
Setting

Check the power tap setting under the 
speaker grille to ensure the setting is ap-

propriate for the installation and amplifier 

chosen.

Constant Noise 
such as Buzz-
ing, Hissing, or 
Humming

A Faulty Electronic 
Device in the Signal 
Chain

Since loudspeakers cannot generate these 
sounds by themselves, you may have a 
faulty electronic device in the signal chain.

Poor System Ground-
ing

Check and correct the system grounding, as 
required.

Poor Low-
Frequncy 
Output

Out-of-Polarity 
Hookup Between 
Multiple Speakers

When two speakers are hooked up out of 
polarity (out of phase), the low frequencies 
cancel each other out. Try reversing the po-
larity of one of the speakers either by turning 

around a dual-banana plug at the amplifier or 

by reversing the tip/sleeve leads on the jack. 

Whichever condition results in greater low-
frequency output is the in-polarity condition.

If none of the suggestions above solves your problem, contact your nearest EV© service 
center or EV distributor.
