jeffh Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We have recently noticed (although it may have been happening for some time) that one speaker is much louder the the other in many of our rooms (diference varies from room to room). I am fairly sure the problem is with it the amplifier as switching the inputs on the room causes the volume problem to also swap sides of the room. Using the controls on the from of the amp I can see that the balance is set to the middle position in all the rooms. Other then that might there be some setting that causes this sort of problem? Does this sort of problem ring a bell with anyone? Is there a way to do a hard reset on the amplifier to see if that resolves it?Assuming there is a real problem with my amp, does control4 provide repairs for out of warrantee equipment and if so does do they have reasonable turnaround times so that our house is not silent for weeks. Almost every room relies on this amp.Thanks for your insights.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 What type of source are you feeding when this happens or doesn't it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffh Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 What type of source are you feeding when this happens or doesn't it matter?Source does not seem to matter. All the input is fed from a control4 matrix switch. I am seeing the problem with all sourcesincluding a the control4 XM tuner, an apple TV 3 and a Tivo.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If you use any Control4 UI (On-Screen or touchpanels), you can install the Control4 Graphical EQ app, which will let you check the balance and volume and equalizer levels on the amplifier zones, to verify it's not an amp settings issue.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it would solve my current problem but sounds like it would give me tools to understand it better. Have been avoiding it til now under the idea that if nothing is broken dont touch it.

CFUG Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have not seen a balance control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You're right, I just fired it up, there's Bass / Treble / Volume and the EQ, but no balance.Sorry. False alarm.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Would be a nice addition though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't believe there's a balance option on the amplifier.Not in the protocol, not in the app.Sorry.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 One thing I did do during construction was install local L-Pads and mode selector switches (Local/rack source) in each zone. So, I could punch yet another hole in the wall and install a fader pot. Just a thought and will never get that far unless I run out of my "special" medication.
