Hello,

I have connected my new Node to Genelec 8351a loudspeakers. Connection from Node’s coax out to genelec digital in. Cable is Genelec’s digital connection kit with Neutric balancer. This connection has been worked well with my previous dacmagic+ dac.

In node settings the static volume is NOT activated. Then it should be adjustable i suppose. Also the volume is node is adjusted to very low volume starting from zero upwards, When i put the node feed the digital signal to Genelecs the the red constant light is burning in loudspeakers meaning protection of loudspeakers has been activated because of signal overload. What could be wrong?

  Hi Jukka

  That's really a question for your loudspeaker manufacturer. The only thing I may suggest is perhaps they have some sort of signal detection. I would lower their volume to 0 and set the NODE to FIXED output as a test, then slowly bring their volume up.

  If you are concerned about a possible issue with the COAX port, we would be happy to help. Please select Help, Send Support Request in the App and we can review the NODE event log.
