Hi
I have a 7.1 surround sound setup
I'm getting what appears to be a cracking sound coming from a rear speaker the crossover is set at 80htz.
I believe the cracking sound is higher than this, I was watching a film last night that didn't have deep base at the point of the speaker crack
(If it was only 1 film I'd suggest it was the film but I've had this from several different sources )
I had similar with other speakers at lower frequency but it turned out to be a louvre door rattling due to the subwoofer I fixed that with magnetic door catches and some draft excluder
There are so many reasons for this to occurs from the audio being played, through dodgy cable or connections to a faulty speaker.
It could also be something physically vibrating
I have a Denon avr-x2700h that can send a test tone to each speaker but it's kinda flat and not at the frequency causing the cracking
I've found test tones on another thread here but these are stereo so don't come through each speaker
Before I start pulling and swapping cables around
Is it possible to send a range of tones through each channel in turn and therefore try and isolate where the crack happens?
From that I can investigate further
