PS8 Subwoofer started buzzing non-stop

New PS8 Subwoofer started buzzing non-stop, buzzes when plugged in (whether connected to receiver or not) Checked the one 250V fuse, looks ok, but doesn't buzz when the fuse is out... Has it gone bad, or do I just need a new fuse?

With nothing connected and the sub turned on....Most subs buzz when the circuitry starts to fatigue. The last time I heard this ..the repair ended up being one of the two fat capacitors inside the sub. I have a means of testing this,,you may not. I am a repair shop with a bit of experience in component level board repair.

I have a constant buzz tone coming from my subwoofer. I checked power connection, fuse and volume/crossover settings and nothing makes the tone go away. is there anything else I can do? Is it repairable?
Hello,if your subwoofer cable has gone bad this will introduce a hum(buzz) into your audio.I suggest replacing the subwoofer cable, a standard rca cable will do,and see if the audio cleans up.

Iassume you mean you hear the buzz independently of the audio program - simply connecting the cable causes the buzz?

If tanything in the mix is powered from different AC sources you may have a different ground potential. Sometimes manipulating the orientation of one or more ac plugs will solve hum problems.

Loud buzzing when switched on. Not connected to receiver. Should I open up the back of the subwoofer? Bad fuse? Thanks, RC
If there is a buzz and the lights are on its prabably not the fuse. If the buzz is being heard from the speaker than the speaker is okay. the amp may be blown

Subwoofer problem
If you get your system up and running and hear an audible buzz or hum, the first culprit to look at is either the powered subwoofer or your reciever feed at the entry point to your system.

Buzzing sound from woofer when I plug in
If the woofer works fine when plugged into any other port, I would say that you have a connector on the receiver that has a loose connection or possibly a cold solder joint (poor or broken solder joint). RCA jacks can be stressed quite a lot especially if you use cables that have very tight connectors. The female RCA jack gets wiggled or twisted when trying to remove a cable and this causes solder joints to crack. I would have a look at that connector on the receiver..

Buzzing Cerwin Vega LS-12 Subwoofer
Generally, a buzz from your sound equipment indicates some sort of nearby EMI. The normal culprits and.or possible fixes that I've found are:

- Remove any other electronic devices plugged into the same outlet as your subwoofer

- If the woofer is on a power strip/surge protector, remove it and plug directly into the wall

- If there are any nearby wireless devices (cordless phiones, WiFi eqiupment), disconnect/power down them

- Try connecting different speaker wire between the woofer & the receiver

- Try turning off all other eletronic equipment with the exception of your receiver


Let me know if any of these help and good luck!
