Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things no so hearing things it seems sadly

Well, got in contact with Axiom and went through the diagnostic process. Yes, the flashing internals in the ADA1500 was it going to protection mode. The cause of it was that something went wrong inside the DSP.


I tested by powering everything off. Unplugged for about 15 min just to be on the safer side. the amp came on with solid lights inside the unit.. that is good. However the the front speakers didn't seem to want to respond. So swapped the Tweeter/Mid XLR plugs for the fronts with the ones for the backs on the amp and the sound would come from the front tweeter and mids, so that showed the speakers were not blown and the amp channels were in fact working. Then we swapped all the cables around plugging in different cables into each of the outputs and corresponding amp/speaker input to rule out that it wasn't a defect on some of the cables. Definitely the DSP doesn't want to output any signal for the front tweeter and mid.

I had initailly thought the woofer channel wasn't working, but that was likely as i was listening to Schubert Symphony #2 and flutes/clarinets don't produce enough bass to drive a woofer.. You need to wait until the bassoons and timpani come before you will see the woofers start to move.

Looks like a road trip is heading my way.
