FIlter Spacing Question/Fix

Post by krismiller1982 » Fri Jan 04, 2013 1:44 am

Problem - When using my Voyager in stereo I've noticed lately one side seems to output higher frequencies, while the other side is dull. This is very noticeable when I create plucky bass sounds. I've trouble shooted my cables, inputs & speakers & all are a-okay. All I can narrow it down to now - & this is just a guess - is that somehow my filter spacing has drifted out of wack. Is this possible? Are there any DIY fixes to calibrate or maintenance the Voyager myself? I have access to a good solder iron kit, oscilloscope, & other electronic test/repair equipment. Hope to hear some feedback from you guys ASAP. Thanks!!

Check the filter pole settings are identical for filter a and b . if those are the same try adjusting your spacing and see how out of whack it is. Probably a question for tech support after that.

Wait, we can change the filter pole settings of each filter individually? Why have I never known this?

Ouch. i've read the manual so many times its not even funny. Didnt pay close enough attention to that particular step... Just assumed the filter pole options affected both filters simultaneously...

Didn't mean that in a harsh way just playful teasing. I have plenty of RTFM moments too :D
