BLOWN FUSE? JUST MY TWEETER IS WORKING. BLOWN FUSE? CAN IT BE FIXED MYSELF?

Some wiring is burnt..ull need to investigate. Causing an overload circuit. Checkout utube or pinterest. Use caution highvolts

You will need to determine if it's the amplifiers or the tweeter themselves that are not working. If you open up the cabinets and check each tweeter with an ohm meter for continuity it will show if the tweeters are working, in which case the amp is the problem. if the meter shows that the tweeters are blown, you should still hook up another tweeter or speaker to the horn amp to see if it's blown and therefor took out the tweeters.
If any of this sounds complicated, you'd be best off taking the cabinets to the repair shop.

It would appear they've blown one channel on the Amplifier and one Tweeter on your Speaker. It's more than likely that the Tweeter has blown first and overloaded the Amplifier.

The Tweeter shouldn't be a problem to replace (eBay more than likely) and you'll probably be better getting a new pair and replacing them both.

The Amplifier could be a different issue depending what Country you're in and your Technical ability?.

If you need any further assistance once you've opened the unit then just ask.


Please leave feedback

no fuse in there unfortunately.

The problem could either be a blown tweeter (but that would likely cause distortion rather than silence) or a fault with the amp or crossover. Often it seems a relay is at fault in these instances with dynaudio monitors. In any case, unless you have considerable electronics knowledge (which I think it's fair to assume you don't ?) you won't be able to fix em yourself. Give dynaudio an email or call - they're helpful.

Could be an open capacitor in the cross-over, unconnected wire to the tweeter (not likely) or a blown (open) voicecoil in the tweeter. Remove the tweeter and with a 9 volt battery (even run down but not dead will work) quickly touch it to the connections to the tweeter - it should pop and crackle. No static, the tweeter has sung it's last song.

This is a BI-AMP powered speakers setup, the power amp for the woofer is still working but either the high frequency power amp for the tweeter is blown or the tweeter speaker is blown, you will need to use an Ohm meter to check the tweeter and the fuse in the high frequency amp.

turn off the amp, change over the speakers turn on amp at LOW volume and listen to music, if same speaker is faulty them bass unit is blown replace or recone.

The tweeters are probably blown, i had the same problem.
You can test this by placing the cable on the dismanteled crossover at the back of the speaker. colour blue/yellow.
No high volume please.

for pictures.
If the tweeter is blown it can be dismanteld with the aid of a screwdriver, horizontally.
Place it between the tweeterbowl and the ring which has the mark wharfedale on it. The tweeter comes loose. On second hand sites you can buy little speakers, like modus one or two's with the same tweeters for a good price and put them on your larger speakers.

This how i repaired 2 of my 4 modus eights.

hi, have u first disconnected the tweeters and then checked, as if its on a cross over, the tweeter is in series with a capacitor,if u have a ohms meter or a continuety tester check the tweeter coil if its open,secondly you can have the coil replaced, check if u can get one before buying a new,let me know

The only way I can think of to check is to disconnect the leads to the tweeter, then check resistance with an Ohm-meter...no reading means dead speaker.
