- Do not overload the box to avoid damage to the speakers.

- Do not place an open fire (candle, etc.) on top or next to the box - FIRE HAZARD

TROUBLESHOOTING

One certain method of determining if a speaker is faulty is to substitute a speaker that is known to work correctly for the suspected problem speaker. If the “normally correct speaker” is experiencing the same difficulties or problems as the suspected problem speaker, use the information below to isolate the problem.

No output

Possible cause Action

Speaker cables Reseat all connectors

Inspect cable for damage

Inspect wire or connector for stray strand that m

Intermittent

Possible cause Action

Poor connections While it is possible for a faulty speaker to exhibit intermittent output, it's more likely that an output cable/connector is the problem. Reseat all connectors

Constant noise, buzzing and/or humming

Possible cause Action

Faulty electronic Any constant noise originates in the amplifier, mixer, signal processing, source device in the signal devices, or line-level wiring. Check and correct system grounding as required. Chain check for noisy sources or electronic components. Check wiring for shielding.
