speaker repair
One of my Probe Jaydes sounds thin, it is a modular unit , the problem
is no doubt with the signal going into the midrange. The top part of the speaker is relativelyt small and lightweight, but audio classics said they can't do anything with a piece for which they don't have parts. The company is still on google search, but a call to the listed number got a " the number does not take incoming calls" response, whatever that means. I would think that the problem is not with the driver or insulation. These are great speakers.; any ideas or experience with getting service for speakers when the manufacturer is no longer in business ? Stephen |

What tests and what results show that definitievly: 1. The problem is with the midrange, 2. The problem is, undouvtedly, with the signal going to the midrange and, 3. The midrange itself is not at least part of the problem. The usual diagnosis that a "thin" sound indicates is a problem with the low-frequency section, not the midrange. The top part of the speaker is relativelyt small and lightweight, but audio classics said they can't do anything with a piece for which they don't have parts. If its with an issue of pro[rietary parts, this is usually the case. However, proprietary parts are expensive for a manufacturer to create, and the manufacturer was a very small one, even in the realm of hi-fi,. and it's not likely that there are truly proprietary parts. Often, manufacturers will cosmetically "update" standard components and they will look quite unique. The company is still on google search, Care to post a URL, because a basic search primarily brings up your posts here an eslewhere on the topic. I would think that the problem is not with the driver Why? Driver failure is, by far, THE most common failure mode of loudspeaker systems is driver failure. IN the many thousands of systems I have examined, I would not be exagerrating if I said 98% of the failures were drivers. or insulation. Which insulation? Do you mean the siberous stuffing inside the enclosure or do you mena electrical insulation on wires? These are great speakers.; any ideas or experience with getting service for speakers when the manufacturer is no longer in business? Since the manufacturer of Probe Jaydes was likely never of sufficient size to be in an economical position to manufacturer or have manufactured truly unique custon proprietary and unique components, it's possible that in the hands of any reasonably competent audio repair person, the unit could be both properly diagnosed and components found. But it's possible that the parts, even if not proprietary, could be obsolete. Btu whether proprietary or obsolete, if the parts ain't available, your speakers will never get fixed, But, before even gogin there, I'd be willing to bet good money based on about 3 decades of direct professional experience that you do NOT have a definitive diagnosis. That comes first. Take it to someone who know what they are doing. And they don't need equipment of the likes of Audio Precision to do this. |
