Muffled Speakers


Recommended Posts

  • Members
Hello,

 

I use two Celestion 175 watt, 8 ohm SR3's, as main speakers for my jazz band, through a 180w mixer amp, which works perfectly. 

 

I recently purchased another two SR3's, to use as monitors, which I linked to the existing pair via the speakon in/out connectors.  To my surprise the sound through both sets of speakers was extremely muffled. When I disconnected the monitors, the sound was perfect. I also tried the monitors on their own and they were perfect.

 

The mixer is a Peavey 150w at 4ohm and 100w at 8ohm

 

Have you any idea what the problem might be?

 

 

Thank you for your help.

 

 Regards

Kevin Scott

If it's the 5 channel peavey box mixer from 30 years ago, we used to run three eight ohm monitors off it - but gear was a lot more stout back then. If he just needs a couple monitors I'd suggest running those two in series but I suspect that's way above his technical ability frown.gif. If he was nearby I'd loan him one of my series cables...
