Kalim Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi all, I have just had a Ciare Tweeter replaced in my Techsoundsystems ND210 cab but I am still getting a crackling, interference typed of sound. I have tried different basses and they have quite active EMG circuits but the problem still persists even after changing leads and location. I have made sure that the correct polarity has been adhered to when fitting my new Ciare tweeter. When I set it to off, the tweeter problem is no more so it is not the speakers that are making this sound as they sound fantastic. Could this be a result of the protective circuitry in the crossover? This is driving my patience as I can't seem to get this sorted so I would appreciate any pointers. Cheers Kalim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Does the cab have a rheostat used to turn the tweeter volume up and down? If so, that would be the best suspect if you've already replaced the tweter. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Cracking sounds is usually a bad connection somewhere, follow along the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Have you looked at your amp? Possible grounding problem? Take you cab out of the equation by trying it with a different amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalim Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 Thank you all. I took it to an electronics specialist and played my bass through it, and it was neither the cab nor the bass amp but my bass. The fitting of my new bass circuit was causing it, after all that! All sorted; a bit embarrassing, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Does this break some sort of record for longest time to sort a problem...? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalim Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 (edited) It must do Lol, I purchased a Cire Tweeter from Germany too and found I did not need it after all, but now I have a spare one, which rather costly I can tell you.
