Adjusting Infinity IRS servo controller

I suppose it is possible that I made a mistake, but I had to re-calibrate my servo on a regular basis.  Those were the pots that used.  If you have access to a scope, it would be easy to verify.  I'm pretty sure I gave the schematic to the new owner, so I have nothing else to compare.  Also, I ended up replacing all the electrolytic capacitors in it.  As I mentioned, all this was back around 2010, so I don't recall any more details.  If I come across anything else in the next few days, Ill let you know.

Again, thanks for replying.

I ended up tweaking the R30 potentiometers just as you did. R23 didn’t offer the needed range of adjustment. Besides, in my case it wasn’t the correct one to adjust.

My issue was the right channel having much more bass than the left. Testing, I found that with an input voltage of 33mV @60Hz my right channel output was driven to 25mV; the left channel to only 12mV.

The first thing I did was dial the R30 potentiometers fully clockwise. This causes the output of each channel’s accelerometer amplifier to be grounded and eliminates the accelerometers and their circuits as a variable. Now each channel measured the same. Had there been a difference I would have tweaked the R23 potentiometers to make them equal and been done.

In my case I had already determined that the accelerometers were not the issue, since when I swapped the woofer cabinets between channels the right was still louder. So the solution was to tweak the R30 potentiometers to make the outputs of each channel equal.

It seems to me that you want the greatest amount of feedback from the accelerometers that does not cause oscillations. I maximized the feedback by by dialing the R30s fully counter-clockwise. I had no oscillations, but the imbalance remained. So I raised the output of the left channel to match the right by dialing its R30 a little bit clockwise.

If memory serves, I adjusted mine for unity gain.  After I noticed that I needed to continue to make adjustments, I started keeping a log book to track it.  Maybe I can find it, but I threw out a lot paper before my last move, so we'll see.

Unity gain seems aesthetically pleasing to me.  I made new measurements. 

For listening I have the LOW FREQ LEVEL control set to around -8.  For new adjustments I set it to zero.  With each channel being driven by 18 mV I measured 21 mV output. 

With the right-channel R30 already dialed fully CCW the only way for me to achieve unity gain was to increase the ovarall amplifier feedback via R23.  Dialing each channel's potentiometer a little clockwise gave me unity.

With this done I still have to set the LOW FREQ LEVEL to around -8 to achieve a flat frequency response as determined by sound pressure readings using an app on my phone.  I think that's odd.  It's as if the woofer towers are vastly more efficient than the high-frequency panels.

Which version of the servo and which speakers?

BTW, I am looking for a reputable shop to go over my spare servo controller (IRS Beta) to make sure its all up to design specs
