Troubleshooting
Occasionally we get a call or Email from someone who feels there is a problem with his or her ACI speaker. At least a couple of times a year we will get a call or letter that goes something like this: “Speakers are not working properly, can’t get enough sound even with the volume turned way up.” The problem may be different, but with this little information to go on it is almost impossible to trouble shoot the problem “long distance”.
The following troubleshooting checklist may help:
1)Are all system hookups properly connected, not partial shorted wires, or reversed connections, etc?
2)Did you try the rest of your system with other speakers to determine if the problem exists with the speakers?
3)Please be realistic in your expectations. Our speakers offer excellent value but we can’t beat the laws of physics. For instance, a compact speaker like the Sapphire XLs will amaze you with its clean output, but may not play as loudly as a very large speaker.
IF for any reason you aren’t satisfied with the sound you’re getting from your speakers we want to know about it. Make sure the speakers have had adequate
∙The size of your room
∙Where you have the speakers placed
∙What other equipment is in your system
∙Have you tried other speakers (which ones, and did they eliminate the problem)
∙Any other specific symptoms or information you can provide
