longdrive03 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've got some 85 H's with E2 network but the mid lead from autoformer tap 2 is connected to positive mid connection instead of negative mid connection as shown on schematic. I know I should and will switch that when I recap with Sonicraft caps. I'm not sure if these came from factory this way. Guy I bought them from got them new and didn't do anything to them. What is effect of this mis connection? I assume the phase will be out of whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Are both speakers the same? I believe some models the leads were reversed but not sure about which ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdrive03 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Good question. I need to check the other one. Wonder why the lead would be changed? I haven't seen this on any schematic. Must have been built on a Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Some speakers were designed that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If both speakers are wired the same, I'd leave them like that. Especially if there wasn't a performance/polarity/phase issue before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Looks reversed to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks for responses the E2 xover has the 33uf cap in parallel with woofer. Both of my xovers have tap 2 going to mid positive and tap 3 going to 2uf cap then to tweeter negative. So it is different than schematic Gil posted and from what CECA posted. Think I'll reverse the mid to go to positive as shown in CECA schematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
