monitors fcked

Post by ozols man » Thu May 03, 2007 10:25 am

yeh i got some alesis monitors and the right one, after an intense night of mixing as loud as possible, is now giving off a distortion kinda sound when ever there is bass. is the speaker permanantly damaged or is there a simple solution to fixing it?

cheers

ozols man, you need a sub.

I used to push up my Event tr8s so I could feel the bass, but it shook the cones nastily.

Now I have a sub the events are hi passed at 80hz which means I have much clearer mids so cone haking and plenty of clean bass from the sub.

Go and feel up the cone. If you feel a gritty resistance it's fubar.

Speaker bizzle

Post by twistedol » Thu May 03, 2007 9:12 pm

You can usually get replacement drivers for stuff like that. You may also have bummed the cross-over network ie pushed it a bit too hard and knackered a capactior. Like grizzle said, if it feels a bit gritty then yeah you probably has knackered it.
I get a simillar prob a certain low-frequencies (and low levels aswell) and can usually remedy it by tapping the driver unit or turning the volume up - driving the speaker harder - then turning it back down.

Swap the speaker cables round.

If the problem moves to the other speaker you know the distortion is occurring downstream (in a signal flow sense) of the speakers. (Like the amp, mixer etc)

If they in warantee?
