Author Topic: JS 200 sound problem Tim Johnson Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Wisconsin Rapids, WI, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 12-29-2002 12:24 PM                     Hi, I am having a problem with my sound. It sounds very distorted with the backgound music. In normal dialog it doesn't sound bad but anytime you get to the action parts of the movie the sound becomes distorted. I have tried switching all the cards with another unit and this was not the problem, I switched the center and surround channels around and the problem followed. The nonsync music sounds good before the movie. Below is a list of the equipment we have: Simplex XL RCA Soundhead JS 200 Processor QSC 1400 Amplifier Component Engineering reverse scan reader Thanks for any help I can get. PS. This is my first posting - but I have been following the site for quite awhile.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2002 12:32 PM                     Last time I had this happen it was a bed amp channel. I also use QSC-1400. I had a spare amp and put it in and the problem was solved. Now I have to send the old amp back to QSC for reconditioning which they do for about $90.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2002 01:00 PM                     If your monitor allows you to switch between processor and amp out listen there if it distorted on the processor out then the problem is probably in the processor If it is distorted on amp out the amp probably has a problem. If it is clean on both then it is a speaker problem  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-29-2002 01:09 PM                    Is it playing Digital or analog when it is distorted. A Dolby tone may need to be ran on the sound head to make sure the tone levels are not set to high.  |  IP: Logged
