How to check if dip switch is faulty?

Youngling Viestejä: 6 Liittymispäivä: 14.8.2017 Viimeisimmät viestit

Hi

I just got a pair of 8030C and even though unlikely, I thought that the dip switch may be faulty.

I turned on the treble tilt and didn't hear much of a difference. Previously, when I am using the 8020C, switching on any dip switches produce a soft 'boom' sound from the speakers (which I know isn't right but at least I got audible confirmation that I've changed something), and the treble tilt is easily audible. 

This time round, it did not produce any sound on the 8030C. I tried with the most obvious bass roll-off and it works just fine so I was wondering if it is only the treble tilt that has some issues (I know it is unlikely though)

Is there anything I can do to be 100% sure it is working just right?

Hi,

We have changed the dip switch operation in the new revisions, for example 8030C. They will operate more silent now and there is also a small delay (0.5 to 1 second) before they active after you have changed the dip switch position.

Tweeter tilt might be difficult to hear. Taking a frequency response measurement would be best way to see the effect. But typically if there would be a problem, all switches would not operate, not just a single one.
