Audio is distorted
If you are using the analog input (3.5 mm connector) make sure you
•
are not overdriving the audio input. Turn down the volume on your
audio device and, if necessary, turn up the volume on the active
speaker.
Make sure you are not overdriving the speaker drivers. Turn down
•
your audio source device. You may want to turn down the volume
knob on the active speaker also.
Make sure the audio source signal is providing a clean signal.
•
Make sure the cable between the audio source and the active
•
speaker is properly seated.
No audio from the
optional subwoofer
Make sure the RCA cable between the active speaker subwoofer
•
output and the subwoofer’s input are properly seated.
Make sure the subwoofer is plugged in and switched on.
•
Make sure the subwoofer volume is turned up.
•
Sound drops out
momentarily
This is usually an indication that one of the many automatic
•
protection circuits is engaging to protect the speakers from
permanent damage as a result of playing the speakers louder than
they can safely play. Turn either the active speaker volume or the
audio source volume down slightly until this stops. If you need to
play louder than the Transparent One speakers allow, you should
consider adding a subwoofer to your system.
Automatic source
switching is not
switching between
multiple inputs as I
expected
Some audio devices continue to output a signal on the optical, coax,
and/or audio USB connectors when they are either silent or have been
placed in “sleep mode”. When this happens, the continuous signal
can block the active speaker from switching to another source.
This can be tested by disconnecting the suspect digital cable to
•
see if the active speaker then switches to another input.
In the case of the optical output, this can be verified by plugging
•
one end of the optical TOSLINK cable into the audio device and
looking at the opposite end of the cable. If you see a red light the
audio device is still producing a signal.
