Mission 760i speakers - packed up too?

20-11-2004, 17:04

This may be related to the Sony issue; anyways, now even at a sensible level, the Mission's just crackle - and on "You've Got Her In Your Pocket" it sounded especially bad.. have I over-cooked them? I hardly have them up loud though...

Cheers

Try connecting just one speaker at a time - disconnect the speaker leads at the amplifier end to eliminate cable problems. If it is a speaker problem, it is highly unlikely to be more than of them that is faulty.

If it does prove to be a speaker problem, then you can remove the drive units from the cabinet and disconnect them one at a time. Again, it is unlikely to be more than one faulty drive unit, so if both appear faulty, it is probably the crossover that is the culprit.

However, given your amp problem, the speakers are probably OK. Try turning the bass down. Does it get better? If so, it could be a power supply problem, or the drive transistor/IC is failing on one channel.

It certainly does sound like the amp's on it's way out Alex.

Unfortunate, i don't seem to be having any luck either!

Been quoted £70 for a repair on my Teac

Rather interestingly, I get that same problem with headphones - I have just tried.

Dan, that's expensive.

Alex, it is

Anyway, that's just one quote.

I'll get it repaired anyhoo, it's a superb system.
