To troubleshoot the problem start with the bit that is working - the left speaker.

  1. Unplug the input leads on the back of the left speaker and swap them round.
  2. If sound now comes out of right speaker and not the left the problem is with your sound source (computer, IPOD or whatever) or the connecting cable is faulty.
  3. If there is still no sound from the right speaker try turning the volume control knob up and down quickly several times - does this produce any sound from the right speaker? Sometimes the electrical contacts get dirty and this can help clean them.
  4. Turn the speakers off using the volume control knob. Disconnect the speaker wire for the right speaker from the OUTPUT on the left speaker (push the red and black tabs downwards and gently pull the wires out. Find a small 1.5 volt battery (an AA or AAA size will do nicely) and touch the bare ends of the speaker wire briefly on the battery terminals. If you hear a slight crackling sound the wire and the speaker are okay and the problem is in the amplifier, which will need repair or replacement - not a job for an amateur.
  5. If you don't get any sound from the battery test find another piece of speaker wire (any piece of 2 core cable with bare ends will do for testing) and repeat the battery test. If you get sound then replace the speaker wire. If not remove the speaker wire again and go to next step.
  6. Lay the speaker face downwards and carefully unscrew the back panel (don't do this if it is still under manufacturers warranty - take it back for repair or replacement). Lift the back panel off carefully and slowly taking care not to pull the connecting wires inside the cabinet, which will probably be quite short. You may have to settle for just rotating the back panel slightly so that you can see inside if the wires are too short to do otherwise.
  7. Use sticky tape to tightly attach the bare ends of the speaker wires to the terminals of the battery. Touch the loose ends of the speaker wires on the two metal terminals where the internal wires are joined onto the back of the big loudspeaker cone. If this produces a crackling sound it is the internal wiring in the cabinet that needs re-soldering. Otherwise the loudspeaker unit has failed and will need replacement.

Little or no sound

Have you tried another source into the same input on the mixer and does this also come through quiet? Have you checked the gain for the channel(s) you are using? Have you tried a different wire for the connection as well as different source? Is it on all channels? have you tried a different amp?

Try using your guitar cord to plug in and out of the headphone jack several times while unit is on. There is a circuit that disconnects the speaker when using headphones and the circuit is activated when something is plugged into the headphone jack. This "switch" can get dirty and cause the can get dirty and cause the problem you describe.

When I connect my cables from the TRS outputs to my direct-field monitors, the latter seem to be unbalanced: one monitor plays more higher frequencies than the other

Plug in one a at time using the same input. Take the left speaker and the left input wire. Plug the wire from the mixer into the one speaker if it sounds ok then unplug the speaker and replace it with the right speaker. If it sounds ok replace the wire with the right wire. This will tell you that each speaker is working and each cable is working. If you switch speakers and they sound different then the possibility of a blown high end driver in one. If they sound ok each by it self but the high end suffers when they are both hooked up then the possibility of the speakers might be. Not sure what the sub has to do with the whold setup. Any further questions call me at the store.

If you are smelling a burnt smell, then you have probably burnt out the speaker coil. You would need to take both speakers to a local repair centre in your area and have them checked out. They may be able to repair the speaker or may have to replace it.

I just installed my vestax typhoon and the drivers. everything seems to be running fine but i can only listen through the headphones plugged into the controller. no sound comes through my laptop speakers....

Make sure the Windows computer has the audio output selected to use the computers output hardware.

In the control panel, under "sounds and devices" pane, VOICE tab, that the Voice playback window shows your COMPUTER's audio system AND then check the volume is turned up by clicking the Volume button right under that same window. Now do the same under the AUDIO tab at the sounds and devices pane.

Studiophile AV20 left speaker doesnt work when connected. its passive, and does function when plugged to another power source. Right speaker cannot support left, or any volume above mid setting, and burns...

Probably NOT a transformer. Most likely in the power amp. Many have a thermal cutout that shuts the thing down when the chip/stick gets to hot. Your description leaves some questions... IF you don't get anything at all out of the left, then look first for a short from the amp to the output jack. This probably has a dual chip amp in it and half that chip may be bad heating up and shutting the whole thing down.

NO sound through the AMP even though the power light comes on

Not a fuse. First thing, to check your speaker (amp unplugged, of course), touch the + and - speaker connections to a 9V battery. If you don't hear a pop sound then your speaker is blown. Thus, no output sound. If speaker is OK, then the output IC is your problem.
