How to correct unnatural sound from Bose Recording Equipment?
To address unnatural sound from your Bose Recording Equipment, verify that the correct EQ and/or crossover is used in the signal path.
What to do if my Bose Computer Hardware has power but no sound?
First, make sure there's an input signal coming from the source. Then, check that there's an output signal. If there is an input signal (indicator green) but no output signal (indicators off), use ControlSpaceTM Designer software to connect to the ESP-88 and verify the settings.
Why is the sound distorted on my Bose Computer Hardware?
If the source output levels are too high, reduce the source output level, or use the Designer software to reduce the input gain. If the input indicators are green, use the Designer software to reduce the output gain or any intermediary gain in the signal path. Also, verify that the loudspeakers are not being overdriven or damaged.
How to increase the sound on my Bose Computer Hardware?
If the source output is low, increase the source output or use the Designer software to increase the input gain. Verify that the audio output signal indicator is green and that there is enough gain on the amplifier.
What to do if the Ethernet LED is on, but can't communicate with the ESP-88 on my Bose Computer Hardware?
Verify that the LAN settings on the Ethernet device you are using on the PC are set correctly. Also, make sure that there isn't another LAN connection enabled or another ESP connected with the same address.
Why is the Ethernet LED off on my Bose Computer Hardware?
Verify that the ESP LAN port is connected to a PC with a crossover cable. Also, ensure that the Ethernet LAN connection on the PC is enabled, and check the device's Link LED. Finally, verify that the ESP and PC are connected with straight-through cables to the hub or switch.
How to troubleshoot no power on Bose Recording Equipment?
To resolve a 'no power' issue with your Bose Recording Equipment, turn the power on and ensure the power cord is properly plugged in.
Why is the Ethernet LED off on my Bose Recording Equipment?
If the Ethernet LED on your Bose Recording Equipment is off, verify that the ESP LAN port is connected to a PC with a crossover cable. Also, check that the Ethernet LAN connection on the PC is enabled. If connected to a hub or switch, check that device's Link LED and verify that the ESP and PC are connected with straight-through cables to the hub or switch.
What to do if the sound is low on my Bose Recording Equipment?
If the sound from your Bose Recording Equipment is too low, check that the audio input indicator is green. If it's off, increase the source output or use the Designer software to increase the input gain. If both the audio input and output indicators are green, ensure there is enough gain on the amplifier.
Why is there no sound from my Bose Recording Equipment even though the power is on?
If your Bose Recording Equipment has power but no sound, first confirm that there's an input signal from the source, indicated by a green (or yellow) audio input indicator. Next, check for an output signal, which should also be indicated by a green (or yellow) audio output signal indicator. If there's an input signal but no output, the ESP-88 might be muted, output levels may be down, or the unit is un-programmed. Use ControlSpace Designer software to connect to the ESP-88 and verify that signals are passing from inputs to outputs.
