What to do if my Electro-Voice Speakers have no sound because of wiring?

If your Electro-Voice Speakers have no sound, and you suspect the wiring, verify that you have connected the correct wire pairs to the amplifier. Play something at a low level through the amplifier, for example, from a CD player or tuner. Connect a test speaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound is gone or very weak, the line has a short in it, possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or staple puncture. If the sound level is normal, the wire is open, possibly a cut wire or missed connection. Using the test speaker, move down the line, and test each connection until you find the problem, and correct it. Observe proper polarity.
