I recently bought a Velodyne Deco subwoofer (not the satellites) which I connected to my Denon AVR 3802 and used in conjunction with some Sony Pascal satellite speakers.
Anyway, today it just died. I mean there appears to be power there, but the sound is quite and very distorted even at full volume. At full volume, you get nothing until a really deep bass signal and then you can hear this crackling, distorted sound instead of thumping bass. I have checked the plug fuse which is ok so it has to be an internal problem but what?
The sub is fitted with three protection circuits: An overdrive circuit which shuts down the sub in the event of clipping, a overheating circuit and an underpower circuit which protects the sub from an insufficient power supply.
I have left it off for hours and still get nothing.
Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem with either this sub, or any other which may be of help. The only possible cause I can think of is I plugged the phono cable from the LFE socket on the amp to the input on the sub whilst it was switched on and there was a loud thud when the connectors touched. I know not to do this normally, but didn't realise the sub was in the on position. The sub did still work for a while after this episode so I am not sure if this is related.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
