1.Loudspeaker cables or connectors are mis-wired or faulty: Check all cabling. Refer to these instructions for correct loudspeaker cable connections. The best way to check a suspect cable is to swap it with a known good cable. Read the loudspeaker's input panel to verify correct cable connections.

2.Electronic equipment is not turned on or level controls are not adjusted properly: Make sure that all equipment in the signal path is powered up and that all controls are set to appropriate levels for normal operation.

3.Loudspeaker is not working: Connect the signal cable to a known good loudspeaker leaving all equipment set to the same levels. If the problem disappears, the loudspeaker is probably not working. Contact EAW Service for appropriate troubleshooting.

1.The power amplifier is clipping: The signal level is exceeding the limits of your system and you must reduce the level.

2.Other electronic equipment is clipping: Ensure that no equipment in the signal

chain is being overdriven. For example: input(s) or summing bus in the mixing console, equalizers, etc.

3.Driver(s) not working properly: Contact EAW Service for appropriate troubleshooting.

1.Incorrect EQ settings in the electronic equipment: Ensure all EQ settings and filters on the mixing console or preamplifier and on other equipment are set for normal operation. Ensure level controls on electronic crossovers and associated amplifiers are correctly set and that all cables and connections for such equipment are working properly.

2.Incorrect processor configuration: Make sure the processor configuration is correct for the loudspeaker and its intended mode of operation. This includes settings made using software for powered loudspeakers.

3.For unpowered loudspeakers: Incorrect mode switch settings on the loudspeaker input panel. Ensure this switch is set for the operating mode you are using: single, bi-amplified or tri-amplified.

4.For powered loudspeakers: Incorrect control switch settings on the loudspeaker input panel. Ensure switch settings are correct for the application.

5.Driver(s) not working properly: Contact EAW Service for appropriate troubleshooting.

6.The crossover network inside the loudspeaker is not working properly: Contact EAW Service for appropriate troubleshooting.

Some faults with the electronics will normally be indicated by an Amplifier Fault indicator. Others should clearly be indicated by an outright malfunction in the sound output. Such malfunctions can include:

1.No or very low sound output

2.Highly distorted sound

3.Bad frequency response, such as the loss of low or high frequencies

4.Intermittent sound

5.Excessive electronic noise
