Hi folks,
I've got a K12G that I've been running for about 2 years, and recently I noticed that one channel is about 30-50% quieter than the other. It's enough to be noticeable, but not a complete failure of the channel. I've read some other threads here about this type of issue, but I've got a question about testing:
- Safety first: How do I need to discharge the capacitors before I start poking around?
- Is there a good way to measure the signal coming out of the outputs with a multimeter without hooking up speakers? Since I'd have to have the speakers at pretty high volume to test this, and since I have have a toddler and baby at home, I'd really rather be able to do this silently (and hopefully more accurately) if possible.
- Alternatively, I've also heard of people tracing the voltages at each component (compared with the working channel) to isolate the problem - could someone elaborate on how to do this?
Thanks very much!
