New to constant voltage paging systems.
I have a customer with a Bogen C100, many speakers.
It has developed a loud popping and crackling noise from the speakers after it is on for 30 minutes or so and it is idle. Paging does not trigger it. Nor does it stop it.
The noise does not change with the knobs on the front. It seems to be worse on the 70V circuit, as once it starts doing it, it never stops. On the 25V circuit it will come and go.
I have it on the bench at the shop right now with one horn hooked up, and have only heard a few pops out of it.
It sounds just like a bad volume control potentiometer would sound on any other audio device. BUt again, twiddling the knobs does not affect it at all on this Bogen.
What is the typical cause of the popping noises when the system is idle? Is it a load issue?
Edit. I did relocate the unit to a different room to rule out power. The room it was in also had a lot of high draw devices in it and was not climate controlled, so I figured that couldn't be good for it.
