Hi
I m having a problem with my monitors ( Focal cmc 50) and I m trying to identify the cause. Any advice will be much appreciated.
These are my questions.
1. Sometimes the right monitor suddenly stops working. That happens with 2 different cables balanced XLR cables and 2 different sound cards (I used USBdual Pre and also Apogee minidac).
When that happens I try switching the cables right to left first at the sound card and then I try reverse the cable in the monitors but still the right monitor remains silent.
Sometimes when I unplug and plug the cables of the right speaker either at the sound card or behind the monitor - it stars working.
Last time I did not disconnect or touch the balanced cable but iI plug and unplug an RCA cable next to it ( the monitor accepts both RCA and Balanced cable) and - the speaker started working again!!
Is the speaker damaged or the computer or what ? I have a macbook 2009. Any ideas?
2. If I play pink sound through the speaker and record it in the computer with a measuring microphone can I figure out if the speaker works properly? Is any other way? I could use also an iohone app itunes.apple.com/us/app/rta/id298839433?mt=8 for this but do I need a good mic or the internal mic is good enough. I also have fuzz measure but it does not have this function.
Thanks for your help
