OK I know that isn't the most eloquent way to to say one of my monitors stopped working...just a word of advice from someone who just learned the hard way. I had some dust in my volume control on my interface I noticed awhile back, told myself I wouldn't toy with it unless monitors were powered down, but in a brief moment of forgetfulness I reached down and turned the volume down while the monitors were powered...POW!! the dust went under the wiper in the volume pot and then I noticed I didn't have any highs in my right monitor. After I disassembled the good monitor to swap tweeters I confirmed that it was, in fact, a blown tweeter.
So now I have a used tweeter coming on a slow boat from China. They don't make my model of monitor any more. Hopefully I'll get it soon. I had the brainstorm ( yeah right) to try another tweeter while I was waiting on the other one. I had an old realistic tweeter laying around and so I pressed it into service. Sounded almost like the one I lost and I thought all was ok until I uploaded a rock mix to my SC the next morning.....what a sucky recording it was...apparently too much treble in that temporary replacement made me mix a bunch of mid range mush........I am starting to think that I see a new pair of monitors in my immediate future.
Those new JBLs at the 500 mark get high ratings...meebee
