left and right channels in stereo
Posted by Alan L. Maier [SysOp] [IP: 12.75.199.162] on October 03, 1999 at 14:58:00 In Reply to: left and right channels in stereo posted by Andy on October 03, 1999 at 10:28:50: Andy, It sounds like you have a problem with the speakers themselves. I asked for you to try your headphones, as the headphone jack is wired into the amplifier output - the same amplifier which is driving your speakers... just with the level dropped way down. I suspect old age may have taken their toll on your speakers. Woofers suffer from a deterioration known as "foam rot", which causes a loss of bass (and usually a rattling sound from the speaker). Foam rot is a condition where the compliant ring around the woofer cone has rotted due to age - which is visible if you remove the grill and look at the speaker drivers. This would explain the bass loss in one channel. The treble loss could be corrosion at a level control on the speaker, which was common years ago. To fix that, try to adjust the tweeter level and listen for the treble to return. Sadly foam rot is often the end of the life of most speakers unless they are quite special, you know someone who can replace/prepair the drivers or both. What to do if foam rot is a problem is something we can go over if that is indeed the problem. Good luck! Alan : Hey Thanks for the reply... : I tried a few things that you suggested. My system is indeed old. My system does have a "Loudness" function that I had on. I turned it off and set the "Treble" and "Bass" dials to flat and unplugged the VCR input. : When I listened to the tuner using the speakers, I'm still getting a lot of treble in the left speaker and a lot of bass in the right. : So I guess the problem lies with the speakers? Or is it a problem with the receivers output?
