Why is my Dual Speaker System producing distorted sound?
- TteresakellyJul 26, 2025
Distortion often indicates that either the receiver or the speaker is being overdriven. Immediately lower the volume level of your receiver. Also, distorted or unnatural sound can indicate poor connections, defective electronics, damaged source material or speaker failure. Check the speaker wire and audio connections. If only one speaker has poor sound quality, try swapping each speaker. If the sound remains poor on the suspect speaker after swapping location and the distortion moves with the speaker to the new location, the speaker may be the problem. If the distortion remains in the original location, then the problem is elsewhere in your audio/video system.
