r-115sw clicking constantly even without input

Recommended Posts

My R-115SW bought April 2016 now is (a) not working and (b) just emits a constant clicking sound, like a metronome, when plugged in. Doesn't stop if I disconnect everything else (audio in, etc) or change any switches or settings. Just clicks when plugged in, by itself. I really like the sub and the look. If anyone has ideas please let me know. I suspect since it's over a year old it's off warranty and if it's really died I won't be buying another Klipsch.  FYI the only thing connected to it was a McIntosh amp and I barely had the sub on at any level because I don't crank music.

I once had a speaker clicking because flourscent lights were in the vicinity.  Plugged it into a power conditioner and the clicking stopped.  If it really is clicking with a constant cadence it may be electrical interference...but it may not.  Just my $.02

Thanks for the responses. I bought it through Amazon but they weren't the actual supplier, which was "AudioSurplus". I've emailed Amazon on how to get warranty service. The one thing I noticed on the Klipsch site is it says shipping is the "sole responsibility of the original retail purchaser" -- that really sucks since the thing weighs almost 90 lbs.

If it's the amp, that's all you send.  They're easy to remove and much lighter than the entire sub.

Long time since you posted BJT, but did you ever find a solution? My Klipsch R-115SW is doing it now. Purchased 12/30 of 18

 

Here's a hint as to why you won't receive a response:  Click on BJT's username to see when they were last on the forum.  ;)

you'll need to get the amplifier checked   or contact klipsch Parts  to inquire into the cost of a new replacement part
