eacmen Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I started to experience problems when using the ipod with your iFi system. When I first plug in the ipod I can hear mechanical noises though the speakers. When I go to play a song it is unbelievably loud even with the speakers set at their lowest volume level (loud enough that I think it would damage the speakers if left playing). I set up a computer through the aux connection on the subwoofer and I do not experience this problem. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Jay481985 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 sounds like an ipod issue, I remember my ipod when i hit play from pause sometimes jumps like to max volume.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eacmen Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Thats what I thought too. But I use the same ipod in my car with the dock connector and its fine. The way I understand it is that the iFi uses the line output of the dock connector, so the volume level on the iPod shouldnt matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc3sean Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Your hearing you ipod HDD spooling, and that apple dosen't have a good filter for this. It's only noticable on some speakers, ironically your Ifi's are soo good that you car actually hear that noise, its probally around 20-22Khz. I would say your ipod is getting old, and use your computer instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noviceuser Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I got my IFI speakers today. I bought refurbished ones online. I was so excited about them. However, when I played them, it started making weird noises at first and than one speaker was running at unbelievably loud sound. Remote was not working. It seemed that one speaker was not working either. I am planning to call tech support first thing in the morning, but as of now..feeling very dissapointed that I may have possibly made a wrong choice. My room mate kept smiling while playing his Bose sound dock with same ipod []. Anybody has had any good/bad experiences with tech support?

greenkite71 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Same exact problem. And it started just recently. I am afraid to plug the iPod in now. It seems to have coincided with the recent iPod software update, but that looks like just a coincidence now. Looks like I am bringing it back to Costco. Pity -- when it works, it sounds great.

Jay481985 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 try the aux in.......... use a 1/8 mini stereo (headphone) from a computer speaker to check if it is indeed the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughgantic Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 yeah, same problem here... my feeling is that it's a malfunction with the volume control because when turn the wheel the speakers cut out, only play out one and really loud, play out of both really quietly, or both dangerously loud. I'm going to have someone open my controller up and check it out, I'll report here when I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuTpaTienT Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I just got a set of ifis off ebay and it has this exact same problem. It's ashame Klipsch isn't addressing this obvious issue. Naturally I don't have a warranty with my set but I would gladly purchase a new control station in order to get these puppies sounding good. But apparently this is not even an option. I see no way to buy the control unit separately. Klipsch sells the control pods for the Promedia models, why not for the iFi? I don't even have an iPod, I'm just using these for computer speakers.

Jay481985 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 first why does everyone sound like a broken "single" record secondthe control pod for the ifi is alot more simply the fact that it has a radio reciever on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuTpaTienT Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 first why does everyone sound like a broken "single" record Um, maybe because we all have the same problem. Did that even cross your mind? secondthe control pod for the ifi is alot more simply the fact that it has a radio reciever on it. What does that have to do with anything that was said by anybody? I said I'd love to have the option of buying a new control pod. I don't see that option even being available to me. If it is please point it out. No one is complaining about any cost. Not me.

eacmen Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I gave up on this problem. Anyone having similar issues that I was needs to have their control dock replaced. See this thread for what I have gone through with klipsch customer support, I would not wish it on my worst enemy: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/853054.aspx -peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
