Well not completely fried, but my M-Audio BX10s has developed an unfortunate problem. It appears the right channel is kind of dead. I say kind of because the crossover seems to still be kind of working, i.e. audio will still play from the right monitor, but the low end (the lower half of the crossover) is completely absent. This problem doesn’t exist on the left channel, but there is some line noise there. No, it’s not cables, I checked.

Edit: I’m also quite sure it’s not ground loop. It’s probably the crossover on the right channel, or the mix between the left and right crossover.

This is annoying enough but it’s more annoying because it’s out of warranty now. So I will get to pay to ship this heavy subwoofer to California, pay $40/hour to get it fixed, and then pay to have it shipped back. Honestly buying a new one might be cheaper.

I’m half tempted to see if I can fix it myself. Crossover circuits aren’t exactly complicated and it’s already out of warranty. I swear, it’s always something.
