Yahhmuns 2 Posted February 14 In the past year I got a pair of RP600M, when I first got them I had a mica origain which when turned off would make the speakers pop, this happened with my last speakers so I knew it was the amp. Eventually I purchased an emotiva A-100, it no longer popped when turned off but would have very loud worrying pops during playback. I thought it was the amp so I got a replacement but with the replacement the speakers still popped. So I'm wondering if its a problem with the speakers or wires or something else all together, and how can I fix this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yahhmuns 2 Posted February 15 Seems like both speakers, it happens every 10 minutes or so and at low volumes but haven't tested at high because I wouldn't be able to listen at high volumes. I attached a sound clip of the pop too. Speaker_Pop.wav Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wuzzzer 1990 Posted February 15 It's interference with something else that's plugged into the same circuit as your amp. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yahhmuns 2 Posted February 15 What kind of device would cause interference, and should I just unplug everything else from the same outlet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something that has a relay or that is turning on and off frequently. I would troubleshoot it by unplugging whatever is on the same circuit one at a time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyH000 7296 Posted February 15 so what kind of electronic equipment do you have close by , or in the same room - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got two computers, two monitors, headphone amp, speaker amp, tube amp, DAC, record player, dehumidifier and a mini fridge. I'm suspecting the mini fridge is the problem but I kinda need my food cold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wuzzzer 1990 Posted February 15 Probably is the fridge. Can you try plugging it in a different outlet? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yahhmuns 2 Posted February 15 It's on a different outlet from my amp but they're on the same line from the electrical box, I currently have the fridge unplugged and that seems to have fixed it, thanks a lot. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree the fridge is the likely problem. It will create a heck of a surge when the compressor cycles on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WOW ------all that gear , understood , so unplugging the mini-fridge was the culprit - great if that was the only issue -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
