Troubleshooting

No sound output

Check that all audio cables are securely connected to both the source and the EVOX J8. Ensure the volume control is turned up and that the correct input is selected. Verify the power cable is properly connected and the unit is powered on.

Distorted or clipping sound

Reduce the input signal level from your audio source. Check the volume control on the EVOX J8; ensure it is not set too high. If daisy-chaining, ensure the signal is clean at the first unit.

Humming or buzzing noise

Ensure all audio cables are properly shielded. Try using balanced XLR cables for connections. Check for nearby electronic devices that might be causing interference. Test with a different power outlet.

Weak bass response

Ensure the 12-inch woofer is unobstructed. Verify the input signal contains adequate bass frequencies. Consider the room acoustics, as some spaces can absorb low frequencies.
