JBL 4410 Studio Monitors: My first refurbish project

Hi Juddboz,

When did you put them back into service together?
Had you made any changes at all to your setup, like connecting or disconnecting speaker wires or new interconnects? Could your speakers (one of them) be hooked up out of phase or opposite of the normal connections?

Failing that, try turning the two midrange and tweeter controls about 10 times each on each speaker before resetting them, that would help clean the contacts out. Also, double check your speaker connections at the speakers and the amp, be sure they are clean all around. If that doesn't work, check or change the speaker wire for some new stuff, just to be sure it hasn't oxidized.

Otherwise, now it gets a little harder. Pull the woofers and examine the wiring, ensuring it is correctly connected to the woofer in the correct color code (see JBL tech reference a few posts up). Also, examine the crossover for any signs of injury, scorching or damage.

Then transfer the woofers to the other speaker and reinstall and retest. See if the problem follows the woofer or the speaker. If this doesn't change things, do the same with the midrange. Those are the only ones with any significant bass output.

I would also double check all setting in the amp. Try a mono source or feed the exact same signal into both left and right channels - you should get a very stable center image with all controls at the central position.
 
4410 issue

Hi mech896!
Thanks for the reply, good info!
I just put them back into service 2 nights ago, last night was when I first heard the problem, but I had never played with the balance pot until last night. I acquired these a few weeks ago, they had a hairline crack in the foam, I played them 4-5 hours when I got hem home... They sounded great! After the transport and playing them that first night i woke up the next day and seen a small piece of foam on the floor and didn't play them any more....did a refoam job on them and 2 nights ago I played them for a couple hours and they sounded great, but I never messed with the balance pot to just hear one speaker at a time, well I did that last night and that's when I heard the problem, I swapped the wires from channel a to channel b and the same speaker had the same problem so that's how I knew it wasn't the amp, I did check for reverse phase connections and everything was correct. Only thing different was I put bananna clips on the ends of my speaker wire, wry thing is color coded and I checked everything and it all seems fine!
I will check everything out this weekend a lil more and update when I can find anything.....thanks for the info, I appreciate it!!
