20 Troubleshooting

ROUBLESHOOTING
No Output
•Check that all your system components are turned on.
•Check your speaker wires and connections.
•Check all interconnecting cables.
Weak Output, Loss of Highs
•Check the power cord. Is it properly connected to the speaker?
Exaggerated Highs, Brightness
•Check the toe-in of the speakers. Read Placement (pages 8–9)
for more information.
Muddy Bass
•Check placement. Try moving the speakers closer to the
front and side walls.
•Check the type of feet that are being used. Try attaching
the coupling spikes.
Lack of Bass
•Check your speaker wires. Is the polarity correct?
Poor Imaging
•Check placement. Are both speakers the same distance
from the walls? Do they have the same amount of
toe-in? Try moving the speakers away from the back
and side walls.
•Check the polarity of the speaker wires. Are they
connected properly?
Popping and Ticking Sounds, Funny Noises
•These occasional noises are harmless and will not hurt your
audio system or your speakers. All electrostatic speakers
are guilty of making odd noises at one time or another.
•These noises may be caused by dirt and dust particles
collecting on the speaker, by high humidity, or by AC
line fluctuations that may occur in your area.
•Dirt and dust may be vacuumed off with a brush attachment
connected to your vacuum cleaner, or you may blow
them off with compressed air.
