intermittent hum on 8030a

8030a currently installed in an art gallery installation set up. Has been performing perfectly fine for a couple of weeks. Intermittent fault seems to have crept in. All fine on power up, but then after around 4 hours suddenly getting loud buzzing noise - a little like half pulling a jack out of mixer - cycling the power on the speaker seems to clear this, but not consistent in the time before fail. Doing all the usual checks on other parts of the rig - cable swaps etc. Anyone come across this? Thanks

Hi,

It does sound like some sort of strange problem inside the speakers electronics. I would advice you to contact your local distributor and request a service.

Thanks Ilkka. I'll try this. The problem appears to go away when volume on speaker is lowered - though the level was not excessive, and the same as 3 other identical model speakers in the installation set-up. Will contact for service advice.
