Brac Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have owned alot of Klipsch Gear in my time, This is my first purchase of Pro Gear. I have 2 non-working tweets and 1 mid, so time for bit of troubleshooting. I have no understanding of pro gear as far as hook ups, if someone could explain what I'm looking at I would really appreciate it. I have been busy as all heck so I haven't even checked fuses, gonna do that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brac Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks, I thought I turned it but it didn't save. I have taken apart one of the separate tops, I see how the inputs work. It has an AA network that looks a bit blah, the K-55 is 10.5 ohms and the k-77 is 7.1 ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 AA's are fine for a BBQ, block party, etc. If your going to cover a school prom, then you need AL-3's or universals. The one piece LaScala's sound even better with the top of the dog house cut out and backs enclosed with the base ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Can the AA's be modded into one of those without a huge expense? Have a drawing of that Mod for the one piece? Not sure what I'm doing with any of them yet. The WAF is not there for HT or living room use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brac Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 peeked under the hood, all have aa networks. 1 of each pair looks perfect and clean inside, the other of each pair is kind dirty. Gonna do some testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 didn't we do this already? looks like a LSI split flanking a LSI. This is just one side right? I thought the mail you sent me was just the LSI with extra LF cabinets. If you're using it all LOUDLY, biamping would be the way to go, which would require a big of mod to the all-in-one cabs, just need to pull a point to plug the woofer section into. Use the normal IN jacks on split HF and all-in-one to hit the mid/high horns. GOOD BUY mang, you got a deal there my friend. Not coindidentally, my first pro Klipsch was also LSI splits, drove up to Picky's in Detroit area to claim them. They were pretty spendy but minty fibreglass. I've been through a few sets of them but still have a nice 5-pack of LSI-BG splits. Keeping the original networks, I have AA and AL in mine I think. Have seen them with AL3, but you'd only really want that if you had the K55M driver. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 you've got the number, call me if you want some help with the K77 and K55 diaphram replacement, I'm sure BEC has something posted here probably in Updates but I can talk you through it if you'd like.

Brac Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Colter, yes this is the deal we talked about but what he had was different from the pics (pics didn't show the other top sections). So after some testing I have 2 non-working tweeters, the one in the picture doesn't seem to have any insulators, not sure how to fix that one, or if I could find a front plate for it? Then I have 1 non-working mid. BC's website says he does not have the tweeter diaphrams but I see a guy selling them on ebay at $20 each.

Brac Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Here is a shot of the inside of 1 of the splits, the nice clean one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 And this is from the dirty 1 piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 buying loose coils is not the best approach....they don't perform anywhere near as good as OEM pre-mounted repair kits. The pre-mounted kits allow you to replace the coil/motor assembly with no soldering and perfect alignment of the coils. These pre-mounted kits are pre-tested.

Brac Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Mike, Thanks for the heads up , that solves the problem of it having no insulators. Just called Kilpsch and placed the order. The kit for the mid was over $100 so I didn't order that one, I've seen complete drivers with horns sell for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm looking over the networks, what is the part in the red box? I don't see anything there on the schematic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 So, believe it or not, I was messing around and moving stuff around in the shop today and if I sell the KLF-10's the stacks will have a place to live. SWMBO has no say what goes on in the shop, hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HudsonValleyNoah Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Those are the Zener diodes; that's your tweeter protection. It's the big "improvement" in the AA over the A. I like the sound of the A better... I'm looking over the networks, what is the part in the red box? I don't see anything there on the schematic?

Brac Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just did a search, looking for the "A" network, but instead found where BC had posted the "AA". I see the diodes on that schematic, is what Mike posted above based on the A as opposed to the AA? What I have matches this.

colterphoto1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I concur with getting the pre-mounted K77 diaphram from Klipsch. The loose diaphram is VERY Fragile and the tinsel leads to attach will melt very easily if you're not spot on with the solder iron. $39 each probably? Worth it if you don't burn one up. I always run a card or piece of tape around the voice coil gap before reassembly to remove any small particles from destroyed voice coil/former that might be in there.
