tensor9 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 My speaker volume control has been acting up for a few years now. Crackles when I adjust the volume, sometimes the left speaker cuts out, requiring me to wiggle the volume control. Sometimes I get buzzing or the left speakers goes out, so I have to unplug the DIN or wiggle it. It's getting worse. I only have 2 speakers hooked up, and it's been this way for years. Can I order a new 2.1 control pod and use that? I tried to add tags, but your forums software fails pretty hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Clean Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 first, try using DeOxit on the pots, if that doesn't fix it, I have one I can sell you, but no, you cant get a 2.1 to work with it that I know of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tensor9 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I did try WD-40 and oil on the pots. No go. The DIN connector still seems to be a source of the problem. It must be wiggled in just the right spot in order to avoid buzzing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Clean Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ouch, who said to use WD-40? never use that, lol. WD-40 is good for breaking rust, and it makes a good cleaner too, but it is not good for electronics. I don't know why people keep trying that, lol. Okay, I have a controller available if you want it, $77 shipped to anywhere in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tensor9 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ouch! That's a bit steep, but thanks for the offer. I was considering the 2.1 control pod idea because it's only $22. I'm actually planning to get a new set of speakers soonish, so right now I just need to get these working properly for as little as possible. Is there a way to just replace the DIN connector? (Even post WD-40, my speakers are still working. *crosses fingers*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Clean Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 yes, I can replace the din connector, I have done many of the klipsch 4.11 DIN replacements, my charge for that is $33, and that includes return shipping to anywhere in the USA.

rosburk Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 What is required for a din repair? Is it just a repair of the male connector, or also the female DIN-port on the sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgorczyn Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I would be interested in getting me 4.1 Control Pod Repaired. I'm sick of the static and adjusting for several minutes before the sounds comes out at the correct levels out of the speakers. Please email me at kgorczyn at gmail dot com Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
