CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Troubleshooting
Problem What to do
No sound coming from speaker • Make sure you have power.
• Make sure the amplier/
receiver is turned on.
• Disconnect any headphones
or other connected to the
amplier.
• Make sure your amplier/
receiver is NOT set to MUTE
• Check your amplier’s User
Manual.
• Double check the connection
between amplier/receiver and
speaker.
• If your speaker is connected
as a complementary speaker,
make sure the amplier/
receivers output B is activated.
• Double check amplier inputs
and sound source.
• Try another speaker
Very low bass or treble • Check the settings on your
receiver.
• Adjust the equalizer on the
receiver.
• Double check that the positive
wire is connected to the
red marked terminal on the
speaker, and that the negative is
connected to the black marked
terminal on the speaker.
Sound in one speaker only • Make sure your receivers
balance controls are centered.
• Double check the connection
to the silent speaker.
• Disconnect the speakers, and
switch the outputs. If the silent
speaker now plays, there might
be an issue with the receiver.
• Connect the cable of the
working speaker to the silent
speaker. If the silent speaker
still does not play, there is a
problem with the speaker.
Static/noise from speaker • Ensure the wires are in good
condition, are rmly connected
to the speaker and receiver/
amplier and are not touching
