guys..i know it's an old thread, maybe someone can shed some lights to the issue i am having..my old audioengine A5 right speaker (the passive speaker) got very low or soft sound to it..i manage to change some caps but the volume is still low abt 30% - 50%..potentiometer seems good that no issue in increasing or decreasing the volume..but cant confirm if that is the real problem..anyone having the same issue and managed to solve it?

QUOTE(penmarker @ Jan 4 2021, 03:52 PM) Double check all connections to the passive speaker. Some problems occur because connection isn't proper, could be the wire connecting between the two, and loose terminals at the passive/active side inside the speaker box. thanks for the response..i will check again inside the speaker with the amp in it.. anyway i tested the passive with other speaker system and the sound is normal/loud..there shud be some problems inside the amp unit |

QUOTE(captvizcenzo @ Jan 4 2021, 04:50 PM) I had the same problem with my A5. Took out the amp, replaced it with Aiyima amp. Still using the original toroid and crossover board. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « No volume control for now, but I have a DAC-AMP so not a problem for me. meaning u converted it into passive with external amp (the aiyima)? can show your wiring for this? or maybe just a link for reference will do.. tq This post has been edited by pronester: Jan 4 2021, 05:16 PM |

QUOTE(captvizcenzo @ Jan 4 2021, 08:26 PM) Nope, still an active speaker, as the amp is in the speaker.  For the amp that I'm using, I connect the output of the amp to the crossover board of the speaker. I cut the crossover board from the original amp board. As for the input, I use the top auxiliary connector to the new amp. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of my amp replacement.  But you could refer to this thread for the general idea. ok thanks for the info bro..appreciate it..at least i can look at the amp area very closely...my 1st tot is the other part of the board (i think the small dac board)....if i have the time, i'm thinking of replacing all the ics/caps (tda7294,ka7805 and etc) if that will do any good..LOL This post has been edited by pronester: Jan 4 2021, 10:10 PM |
