TEST PROCEDURE
General Function
UUT = Unit Under Test

  • Turn on generator, adjust to50mV, 50 Hz.
  • Plug in UUT; red LED should be ON. Turn VOLUME control full clockwise.
  • LED should turn Green; immediate bass response should be heard and felt from port tube opening.
  • Turn off generator, turn VOLUME control fully counterclockwise, disconnect RCA cables.
  • Connect one pair of speaker cables to either high level input terminal on UUT. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier fed by the signal generator.
  • Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level output is 2.0V, 50 Hz. Turn VOLUME control full clockwise.
  • Green LED should light, immediate bass response should be heard and felt from the port tube opening.
Sweep Function
  • Follow steps 1-4 above, using a sweep generator as a signal source.
  • Sweep generator from 20Hz to 300Hz. Listen to the cabinet and drivers for any rattles, clicks, buzzes or any other noises. If any unusual noises are heard, remove driver and test.
Driver Function
  1. Remove driver from cabinet; detach + and - wire clips.
  2. Check DC resistance of driver; it should be [3.0] ohms.
  3. Connect a pair of speaker cables to driver terminals. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier fed by a signal generator and adjust so that speaker level output is [5.0V].
  4. Sweep generator from 20Hz to 1kHz. Listen to driver for any rubbing, buzzing, or other unusual noises.
