Anybody knows why my speaker "pops" when I shut-off my power amp. the problem just happen lately. will it damage my speaker if the problem left unsolve? the "pops" shows even my preamp is in "mute" mode. when I removed my pre to power interconnect to test. it doesn't "pop" at all.
I do not use any powerconditioner except a Oyaide power distributor.
my gears are: ayre cx7e cdp ayre k5xe pre ayre v5xe power von schweikert vr4jr speaker
cable used: jorma 2 xlr ics. jorma superpowercords. jorma 3 speaker cable.
Your power rails are dumping at turn off. There is generally a bleeder resistor or a cap arrangement to let it happen slowly to ground but something has gone wrong. The turn off sequence won't change that. I would just send it back to Ayre for the repair.
the gears were new only 10 months old. I only had this problem recently.
digsmith / eldartford,
the power amp have 2 switches. front switch and back toggle switch. the toggle switch is always on the "standby" mode, the "pops" came from the front switch, whatever sequence I tried the pops remain.
