I just got a SRD-7/SB and some normal bias Lambdas. I hooked them up to a 30W per Parasound amp which does work I tested it with a speaker and its headphone jack (which is pretty good btw). Problem is there's no sound from the cans at all. I have it on earspeaker and plugged in but there's a grey cord going out the back for power? There's no plug at the end just 4 wires red, black, white and green.

Am I wrong or is the SRD or Cans nonfunctional?

The seller is not to blame btw so don't start any of that please.

First...seemingly dumb question...

how is the amp providing signal to the SR7?

 

[spacemanspliff]

THE only way it can. Via the speaker wire hookups in the back of the SRD-7. I will try some spade connectors tomorrow but....

Okay...that's why i asked the question...

That thing you are calling the power cable attaches to the speaker outputs on your amp. The terminals on the back of the SR7 are for you to connect speaker cables. Then ...when you listen to the headphones, the signal is drected to your headphone jacks...and when you switch to speaker, the signal is sent to the terminals on the back and out to your speakers.

nope sorry I know that.

Anyway I think it might need to warm up or charge?

 

[plaidplatypus]

Try contacting the seller.

Edit: There should be no need for it to warm-up

 

[freethegeek]

okay... i would have assumed you knew that.. but what you wrote implied you didn't know what the wire was for... and therefore you wouldn't have ooked it to your amp...and therefore you wouldn't have any signal to your sr7...

sorry for missunderstanding happy listening... btw ... i have sr5's that i purchased new in 1978... still sound great

There should be an indication for R+/- and L+/- on the back of the transformer.

Take the Gray cord and hook it up to you amps out it tells you what left and right are. You do not need to hook up the terminal in the back.

Never mind question answered, Thanks Bill

It should say on the back:

Take a look at the pic.

 

[freethegeek]

good question... mine have been hooked up for so long...i don't recall..and i'm on the road. but will be back home tomorrow night.. if someone else hasn't already told you by then. My SRD 6 has the mapping on a little diagram on the bottom or back (i forget). If you are impatient, you could cheat with a multi meter. Check continuity between the wire and the speaker terminal with the switch set to loudpseaker.
