Hi all
I purchased my BK monolith subwoofer around 2006 after positive feedback from this site.
The problem is, i haven't used my sub for maybe 2 yrs and I've just bought a new AV receiver. It's an Arcam AVR400. I'm not getting anything out of sub, perhaps just a very very little vibration when i put my hand under the sub. I know there is nothing wrong with the amp as it's was taken out of the box in front of me and demonstrated working perfectly with a B&W PV1 sub.
I bought some new cables recently as the other ones were causing the sub to hum when ever they were close to electric cables.
the Arcam is connected correctly from its SUB pre-out to one of the terminal on the sub.
I have the following settings :
Set ALL speakers to small
Set cross over to 80Hz on the amp
Phase set to zero
Frequency Contour to MAX and then clicked on the dial
High Level Gain Zero
Low Level Gain 11 O'Clock
I have run a SPL test/adjusted spl. from all speakers incl sub is 75DB, and also physically measured my speaker distances and adjusted accordingly.
what is it that I'm doing wrong? Please can you help with this as I wasn't expecting to watch movies over Xmas without a sub!
If something has failed then I'll have to speak to BK Electronics in the new year.
I was also considering the B&W ASW610 / Rel T3 if fixing it is too expensive.
someone please help this is sooo depressing.
Regards, Shaz
