9.11 Broken baffle
This applies to top-box models only. Though not a common failure, the mounting point where the baffle is secured to the
main enclosure can break the ABS plastic mounts.
Symptoms:
• very distorted sound
• air leaking around the edges of the baffle
Failure verification:
• cracks on the baffle and the enclosure
Repair notes:
• Remove the baffle from the enclosure and closely inspect every point where the baffle is screwed into the enclosure
• The baffle is available as a spare part, which includes the wiring harness.
• The main enclosure is NOT available as a spare part. If the enclosure has broken or sheared plastic near any mounting
point, the speaker cannot be repaired. Please contact QSC for alternative options.
• If replacing the baffle, reuse the rectangular gasket that is installed along the edges of the baffle. Carefully re-align the
gasket as it was previously installed so that air leaks do not form between the baffle and main enclosure.
• When replacing a new baffle into the enclosure, the front grille may not line up correctly if the screws that secure the
baffle to the main enclosure are tightened without prior grille alignment. Try to install the grille first without tightening the
baffle screws to form the correct spacing between the baffle, gasket and main enclosure. After the correct gap has been
formed, remove the grille carefully, tighten the screws on the baffle, and then attempt to fit the grille again.
