9) Troubleshooting
Should your speakers not work properly, check the following:
No sound from speakers:
● Most stereo receivers have an A/B speaker selector switch. Make certain that
this switch is in the proper position.
● Mute feature is activated.
One speaker is playing while the other is not:
● Check the balance control on the receiver. Make sure it is centered.
● Loose connection at either the receiver or the speaker. Double check connections.
● Bad speaker cable. Replace suspect speaker cable.
Receiver cuts on and off:
● This could be caused by a short circuit between the positive and negative leads.
Check the connections at the back of the receiver, and then at the speaker;
make sure that no strands of wire from one connector are touching the other
connector.
10) Caring For Your In-Wall Speakers
The two most common ways that in-wall speakers are permanently damaged:
1) Not enough power at higher volumes.
2) Too much power at higher volumes.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, more speakers are damaged as a result of under-powering, than
by overpowering. When a receiver runs out of power, it still tries to reproduce the musical signal by
“clipping” the waveform. At high volume levels this clipping introduces gross amounts of distortion
to the speaker, eventually destroying it. If the sound from your speakers starts to sound distorted,
turn down the volume.
Having plenty of reserve power will help your speakers reproduce dynamic contrasts and quick
transients of music much more effectively, but you must exercise good judgment; too much power
can also permanently damage a speaker. If you hear distortion, turn the volume down.
