R-Series R65 V2 and R80 V2
Owner’s Manual
4.2 Troubleshooting
No Power. First ensure that your R-Series studio monitor is plugged in. If
it’s connected to a power conditioner, verify that the power conditioner
is turned on and functioning. If problem still exists, disconnect the power
cable from your studio monitor and check the fuse on the back panel.
The fuse housing is located directly beneath the IEC power cable connection.
A blown fuse may look black on the inside or the wire inside might appear
broken. A very black fuse is a sign that something may have shorted out. Try
replacing the fuse with a new one. The R65 V2 and R80 V2 both use and ship
with two T2AL fuses in regions using a 100-120 volt power infrastructure,
and T1AL fuses in regions running a 220-240 volt power infrastructure. If you
need to replace a fuse, be cautious to use the correct fuse for your region.
No audio. If your R-Series studio monitor appears to power on but you
hear no sound when playing audio from your audio source (the lights are
on but nobody’s home), first make sure that the cable connecting your
audio source to the monitor is working correctly. Also, verify that the
Input Gain control is set to provide enough amplitude for the signal.
Hum. Usually, hum is caused by a ground loop. Verify that all audio equipment is
connected to the same power source. If you are not using a power conditioner,
we highly recommend that you add one. Not only will this help to minimize
hum, it will better protect your equipment from power surges, brownouts, etc.
Use balanced cables whenever possible. If your audio device does not offer
a balanced output, you can connect it to a direct box, which will provide a
ground-lift switch and a balanced output. Finally, make sure that your audio
cables are not run near power cables, and use cables that are the appropriate
length for your application. Using cables that are too long not only increases
the risk of noise, it increases the likelihood that the cables are coiled, which will
essentially create an antenna that picks up all kinds of audio interference.
