Tighten those screws!

[Rex Anderson]

Can't remember who to give credit to, but I read it in a post here a while back.

Many years ago I was doing front of house mixing with a PA system I had never used and there was some distortion. I ran a sine wave sweep and found a cabinet that had a lot of loose screws holding the drivers in place.

I had not thought about checking my own home system speakers until I saw the post here.

Turns out, there were quite a few loose screws in my Revel F208s and my Mackie HR624's and HR626.

Years of use, lots of vibration, it makes sense screws would come loose.

I'm glad I did it and think things sound "tighter".
