Speaker Repairs in Sydney?

[ongsta]

Hi all!

Bought a pair of 15" EON G2's a few months ago and one of them seems to have a problem where it would play at full volume and then sound will cut out/become soft/distorted/fuzzy intermittenly. So it would be fine for a bit, and then start cutting out for a bit and the problem will come and go.

I'm not sure what it could be, has anybody experienced this before and are they aware of what may be causing it? It seems like an issue that would be caused from overheating but it still happens when the gain is turned slightly up, no way near the volumes it's capable of.

Any idea where I should start to see if this problem can be fixed by myself?

Secondly, if it definitely needs to be repaired by a specialist - does anybody know any decent repairers in Sydney?

Thanks,

Andy

if you bought them new they are most definitely still under warranty?

Sorry, should have mentioned that they were second hand.

are these speakers you use when your playing/djing or just listening to music when your home?

They were purchased to use at my private gigs: birthdays/weddings etc.

EDIT: hehe they're a bit over-kill to use at home, I'm sure my neighbours wouldn't be too happy!

maybe unrelated, but how often does your volume on your mixer clip into the red zone, having that maxed on 2 red bars all the time can fuck speakers up, see so many ppl doing it though

[ongsta]

The speakers have been used at a gig once or twice, the last time I'm pretty sure they were clipping the red-zone a fair bit.

Do you think the drivers have been damaged?

[Gandy]

im not saying thats definitly the cause, but having it redlining all the time over a 3-6hr gig is not good

Clipping is a speakers worst nightmare

That was the first thing I ever learnt when starting to mix.

STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE RED

Depending which model EON's you have, 15" G2 are powered speakers rated at 300 watts low-frequency and 100 watts

high-frequency (bi-amplified) - actual power delivered to the drivers.

1. I would check your audio cable first as these are powered speakers you'd be running extra long Audio from your mixer to the amp/speakers.

2. contact the Australian Distributor JANDS Australia

Thanks! I've tried different XLR cables, but I've never thought of trying a different power cable. I'll also give that a shot!

If all fails, I will be contacting JANDS.
