Blown drivers in Danley SM60F

<< < (3/4) > >>

Frederik Rosenkjær:
Has no one thought to ask if all these horns have been fried in:

A: The same cabinet - which would be virtually a necessity for the "faulty cross-over"-hypothesis to work.

or

B: Whatever cabinet happened to be at a particular side of the stage that evening - which be indicative of some failure in the amp or earlier in the chain.

Sorry, if this has been mentioned - but I couldn't find it in the thread.

Hi,


Horns fried with both a lab 4000 and a 3400 on them at different times.
Ive had my amps serviced by a lab specialist in the uk and given the all clear.No horns gone tonight as kept it very low,scared to push it.

But what about the signal path IN FRONT of the amps?  There could be something that has a problem and the amps are just "passing it along".

I'm not saying this is the problem-just a possible cause.

It might help the understanding if you posted some of the typical music you play (links to songs and so forth), DSP settings you use (screen capture would be nice), and so forth.  This would give a clue as to the level and freq content that is going on in your system.

We know what the sympton is, but the cause is still elusive.
