• Play some non-distorted source material at a low volume. Carefully cover the tweeter (to block the sound)
without touching the diaphragm. Is the woofer producing a clean sound? If there is not a clear tonal
quality or any sound at all then the woofer probably needs to be replaced.
• Cover the woofer so you can hear mostly the tweeter. Is the tweeter producing a clear sound? If there is

Problem: The monitor hisses, hums or makes other loud noises...
Here are some suggestions that will help you eliminate these undesirables from your system:
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged snugly into the IEC socket on the rear of the monitor.
• Check the connections between the signal source and the monitor. The V8's Neutrik® Combo connector is a
completely balanced system. If you're connecting an unbalanced output to the monitor, be sure that you're
using PIN 2 for signal and have PIN 1 and PIN 3 tied together at the source end.
• Refer to the Connecting the System section on page 4 of this manual to ensure that the AC mains is
matched to the operating voltage requirements.
• All audio equipment should use the same ground point. Check all other devices using the same AC output
in the building like dimmers, neon signs, TV screens, and computer monitors. These devices should not be
using the same circuit.
