Creek amplifier When playing records with the creek obh-18 the speaker flutter uncontrolably. Some sort of feed back ?

it can but it would not be a good choice, Amps cannot feed other amps as the signal level will extreme;y to high, and cause damage.

The TX 8555 can drive the speakers directly but if you want to use the equalizer then you need to add an amplifier to the system so that you can feed the pre-amp connections from the TX8555 through the equalizer and then into the amplifier to drive the speakers. This is because the TX 8555 doesn't have a loop back function for monitoring recordings.

If the woofer is motor boating....going in and out, like a flutter,
likely a power supply issue on the power amp board, in back of the speaker. This would need to be repaired. Since these are powered speakers, if for example, a power supply capacitor were bad,
it can do that. If under warrantee, find an authorized repair center near you. Contact manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like they are being over driven. Can I get an idea of how you have it hook up?

What issues are you having?

The voice coil on the cube speakers must be scraping against the magnet.Or the speaker cone must be damaged causing it to flutter at low frequency where there will be large cone movement. Try removing the phono jack from your musical instrument/ guitar and touch the tip of the jack with your finger. You will hear a hum, now turn down the volume and listen to the speakers very closely and see if you can identify the flutter. All the same you will have to fix the speaker or replace it. Have you ever dropped the speakers, if so the speaker frame could have warped causing the scraping noise.

There are a number of configurations for a mixer like the 1832, the most common are PA system and Recording system. There are Main output jacks which carry the mix as summed in the main faders. These in a PA system would feed the pa amplifiers which drive the house speaker system for the audience. These connectors are XLR 3 pin type on the rear, intended for professional pa amplifiers which use balanced +4dbv line input level. Amplifier which have 3 pin XLR connectors for input signals can accept that high level signal. For home style HiFi amplifiers, the signal level is nominally -10DBv and balanced or unbalanced signal lines with 1/4in diameter phone plugs which are connected to the mixer by way of a second set of Main output connectors which are 1/4in phone jacks. Use whichever amplifier input level your amp has.
If you are not using it as a main PA house mixer, but using it for recording, the main output connectors go to a 2 channel recorder or computer sound card recorder. The power amp and your monitor speakers are connected to the connectors labeled "Control Room" (CTRL Rm). These output are useful for recording because the signal through the mixer can be monitored from several buses, Solo, main mix, selected by buttons provided. The buttons only affect the signal heard through the control room monitors, and not the main output which only sees the main mix so selecting "solo" does not interrupt the signal going to the recorder while the engineer in the control can be checking other signal paths through the board.

Sounds like its time to change the needle [Stylus ] , there are a few types But the two most common are Saphire and Diamond Stylus pay the extra and get a diamond if you can , Hope this helps

I would suggest not using the amp before the problem is sorted. It may damage your new speakers :)

1. It is possible that your input selector switches may be Noisy. What happens when you operate them, does it exasperate the problem?
2. Noisy control pots may also be contributing to the problem. taking the lid off and giving the pots and switches with decent squirt of contact cleaner lube (I use CRC2-26)

If you still have issues, is the problem there on both channels?
If it is then there may be a power regulator issue.Is there a DC offset on the left and right speaker output(check with a DVM).

You can find a schematic here.

I am happy to talk to you more about the problem. I would need to talk a bit further with you, just ask away in here.

Are you saying its taking a long time for the sound to come out of the speakers?? or that theres no sound at all?? If its taking a long time check the resistance of each speaker to see that a componet in the crossover or the speaker didnt short.If you take all the speakers and if theres supost to be a relay for protection and you hear it click then the amp is good or has an out put stage problem like bad poutput devices or blown driver transistors. Need alittle more info if you could Thanks.
