Hi

My d1010-iv getting very hot at the back panel, almost untouchable.

Is it normal?

Are you running AC or Fan?

how loud you go and for how long

What do you mean? Im running aircon btw.

I plugged in everything as usual.
Just that i need an adapter for the 2 pin.

The back panel gets very hot too even when im not playing anything.

I go max half @ 12 oclock for few hours.

I noticed the thing are very hot too without any music or sound ongoing.

Wouldn't worry anything about it.

same as my h4s and h10... i only protect my h10 by blowing a fan at it cos thats more exp den my satellites LOL! my satellites are hot too, but i tink shld be all rite ba... dun tink swans/hivi will engineer sth which cant tolerate the heat

Yea. Just that im puzzled because it gets all heated up when just leaving it turned on without playing anything on it.

Since cyntrix clarified that nothing to worry about, then im alright.
Btw, can I leave the speaker turned on just like i always leave my PC on 24/7? Or is it recommended to turn it off when not in use? Just worry that the heat may eventually damaged the speaker.

my h10s and h4s also are like that... i usually jus elave it on as long as im at home or in front of computer regardless of whether im using it or not... im more worried of the power consumption, although i did a search whcih says that the power it consume depends on how loud the volume is...

im worried too, hence i place a fan to protect the sub. not possible i place a fan on my 2 h4s also... lol!

but i tink when hivi design these speakers, they will put this into consideration.. somemore, the set i own isnt cheap... hence, i really hope it can last a good 5-6 years

the x3 is on top of d1080...

do anybody change RCA t 3.5mm cable ie canare cable, will the sound more clear?

I Changed e stock swans cable to belden 1505f with canare f9 plugs. Sounds clearer and warmer

u mean the rca to 3.5 or the unique 4gold sting cable ??

how much u bought n where u bought ??

then the one beside dv1080? tat is dv1010?

Yes that is the d1010.

If you go listen to the d1010 and then switch to the x3. You will be amazed by the x3 and easily able to justify why a smaller speaker can sound better and so damn big lol

ah i scared i kena poision haha.. tempted.. d1010 enuf la >< will go try tis month for sure heavyarm shop is around asia cafe right? looks like nearby there is one cyber cafe, at night can go burger lori also

btw x3 and d1010 same weight? also i wanna ask, if this d1010 can be used as all rounder a? means i wan play games, play movies, still can sound decent? i seldom blast my speaker anyway, even this sp2500 i also open half or less only i also feel enuf liao haha..

Don't you think it is abnormal that the speaker is getting hot even it is not being used?

Most of the amps are class A/B. They draw power even when left idle. Otoh many consumer grade speakers use class d amp.
