Hum Pot adjustments [resolved]

[ArtnShit]

When I am checking the voltage of these pins and terminals is the blackprobe staying on the RCA grounding source? or is it moving to other areas? WHat do you mean move the black probe?

[Paul Birkeland]

The black probe can stay on the RCA ground until you measure the last AC voltage at the output transformer.

[ArtnShit]

Here are the measurements:
B3 and RCA ground = 5.8V AC
Terminals 5 and 10 = 21.34 AC

Sounds normal, right?

[Paul Birkeland]

Now measure the AC voltage across the speaker jacks.

[ArtnShit]

 Between the two output jacks, it's 1.133V AC

[ArtnShit]

If that is a correct measurement would it make sense to assume that the problem could be stemming from the Beepre? I tried playing both the Beepre and Kaiju for the first time in the same go.

[Paul Birkeland]

1.133V AC is audible signal coming out of the speaker jacks. This confirms that the amp is working.  I would hook it back up and have a listen. 

[ArtnShit]

No right channel still. So we can assume the Kaiju is fine? Other thing is a BeePre2 I built right before the Kaiju.

Try swapping cables from the beepre 2. If the problem switches sides the amp is good and you need to focus on the cables or preamp.

[ArtnShit]

Swapped the cables, the problem still persists.

Thanks for the recommendation, though! I appreciate it.

[Paul Birkeland]

Play the 60Hz tone into the Kaiju hooked up to your speakers and measure the AC voltage between the speaker binding posts.

[ArtnShit]

Played the tone directly from the 1/8 to RCA into the kaiju, bypassing preamp. I could hear it out of the speaker fine.

Voltage was .305V w 60hz tone.

[Paul Birkeland]

Now feed the tone into the BeePre and hook it up to the Kaiju.

[ArtnShit]

I am getting nothing. Voltage says 0.

I am also no longer getting any sound out of the left channel from the Kaiju either from directly playing the tone thru 1/8-RCA into Kaiju or from BeePre to Kaiju. Both of those were working an hour ago.

[Paul Birkeland]

Now that you have lost the channel, I would restart the checks you just completed.
