HI
I was just testing something at home and i accidently left the wireless mic receiver on high and the mic on (i know stupid) the amp was on high and the feed was loud as hell, like my ears are ringing. the amp is qsc, the speakers are yamaha s115v, 500 watts continues, 1000 watts peak.? did i just damage the speakers or the amp, the sound sounds a little funky now but that could be to my ears ringing lol.....any ideas?

try another set of speakers but this time make sure the amp is turned down.. if you get clear sound then you effed your speakers. if you get no or bad sound, then you effed your amp. if its ok then try the other speakers and compare the 2 sets. maybe once thay ar switched off for a while they might sort them selves out.
you should always after using your kit, turn all volumes to minimum and all external devices "off". for the sake of an extra 30 seconds it may have just cost you a heap of cash.. tisk tisk..

Quick question? The amp either works or doesn't work, its not like the speakers where they still work after they get blown but sound horrible. In that case the amp is okay bc its still work, the speakers sound okay too, but when turning the volume really high, like djing at a gig high, it seems like the highs or tweeters is too high or kinda of annoying to the ear. could be that iam trying them out at house and not in a dj hall. Thank you.

Hello, sorry my bad english, few days ago I had the very same problem, and this is what happen, attach a pictures of my problem, things you may need to do:
open the speakers
check if the fuse (circuled is off) if so, replace
check the twiiter and driver
and finally, check if is broken, you may not see any damage, but if is not the fuse, then you may need to change the driver
hope this help.

you could have damaged the tweeters.. unlike a sub or mid, a bad tweeter can be hard to originally detect..
future advice.. download or purchase a "sweep test" track.. the "sweep test" goes thru all the frequecies and allows you to listen for problems..

Hi all
Not shure about the Yamaha's but most manufacturers can supply a replacement Diaphram/Voice coil assembly for there HF drivers. It is mutch cheeper to replace the part than the whole driver.

BTW
The part that has been circled and refered to as a fuse is in fact a light bulb.
It is a common method of protection for HF units. It works by limiting the amount of current flowing in the drivers voice coil. When the lamp is cold it has a very low resistance but as the power to the driver increases past a certain level the lamp glows and its resistence increases and efectively limits the power to the driver.
