6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PRORECK Venue Set, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips. For persistent problems, contact customer support.

• No Power:
  Check: Ensure the power cords are securely connected to both the subwoofers and a working power outlet. Verify the power switch on the subwoofer is in the 'ON' position. Test the power outlet with another device.
• No Sound Output:
  Check: Verify all audio cables (XLR/Jack, Speakon) are correctly and securely connected between the source, subwoofers, and line array speakers. Ensure input and output volume controls on the subwoofers are not set to minimum. Check the audio source (mixer, microphone, instrument) is functioning correctly and its output level is adequate.
• Distorted Sound:
  Check: Reduce the input volume from your audio source and the master volume on the subwoofer. Ensure that the DSP settings are appropriate for your environment and not causing clipping. Check for damaged cables.
• Bluetooth Connection Issues:
  Check: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the subwoofer. Make sure the subwoofer is in pairing mode. Move your device closer to the subwoofer to ensure a strong signal. Disconnect other Bluetooth devices that might be interfering.
• Uneven Sound Distribution:
  Check: Review the splay bracket angles of the line array speakers to ensure they are configured correctly for your audience area. Adjust individual speaker and subwoofer volume controls for balanced sound.
