This usually helps with a glitch like this. Then, check the driver attached to the horn. They do love to open without notice. Next trick is to switch inputs on the amp to see if a channel died on you, up to checking amp connections. Pull the speaker wire off the amp assigned to the center horn and take a 9v battery and just bump the leads across the battery to see if the horn driver responds to the bumps. I've changed out a few that suddenly let go. Good luck.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-03-2019 09:15 AM                     Is the theatre biamped if so it could be the crossover card  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 01-03-2019 02:27 PM                     Do you have a booth monitor wired up so you can compare the amp outputs vs the processor? If so check in the booth monitor and see if it is the 650 or something between the 650 and amp output(s)or as has been suggested above a HF driver. Again with the booth monitor check the surround output. From your description of the signal present lights on the amps going up and down it might not be the 650.  |  IP: Logged Mike Moreno Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: culiacan sinaloa mexico Registered: Jul 2008 posted 01-12-2019 01:51 PM                        Hi I install the cp650 in another auditorium in order to check and fails the same way. I have to check all the internal cards. mike morneo  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 01-12-2019 03:19 PM                     There are only two main boards in it plus some option daughter boards that can be added. Are you using the crossover option? If so that could be where the issue is. Note that when this is used the high frequencies come out of the option connector.This can be a very busy connector depending on what options one is using.  |  IP: Logged Mike Moreno Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: culiacan sinaloa mexico Registered: Jul 2008 posted 01-15-2019 12:43 PM                        Hi Stephan I am using USL external crossover. in fact, it only has a Cat 773 installed and in error logs says Opt_out:L:missing and if i compare the Board info from another cp650 is diferent, this one says Board: A384x and the ones that work fine says A3843.
