Troubleshooting

No Sound Output:

• Ensure the 3.5mm mono connector is fully inserted into the audio source.
• Verify that the audio source is powered on and functioning correctly.

• Inspect the cable for any visible damage or breaks.

Low Volume or Weak Sound:

• Increase the volume on your audio source.
• Ensure the audio source is providing a strong enough signal.
• Confirm that the audio source's output impedance is compatible with the speaker's 8 Ohm impedance.

Distorted Sound:

• Reduce the volume level on your audio source; the signal may be overdriving the speaker.
• Check for loose connections at both the speaker and the audio source.
• Ensure the audio source is not producing a distorted signal itself.
