That can only be really fixed with an audio spectrum analyzer. If you have similar auditorium, you could try copying the settings, but even that won't really fix the problem. Time to place a service call. And hack off the fingers of the guy who played around with the equipment.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-07-2006 06:54 PM                        Sounds more like somebody screwed with your EQ settings, not your amps. Either that, or if your system is bi-amped, maybe the amp driving the woofer is turned off or busted. Go stick your ear next to the woofers and see if they are working at all. If not, check that amp to make sure it has power, then check the wiring to that woofer. You really need a tech to come in and check it over. The techs here will probably give you some ideas, but without test equipment it's going to be tough to get it to sound right.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-08-2006 12:16 AM                     Yep, Its tech time for his theater!  |  IP: Logged Martin Ubilluz Film Handler Posts: 21 From: boca raton,fl / United states of America Registered: Apr 2006 posted 07-08-2006 03:51 AM                     thanks  |  IP: Logged
