Have gone to use the SN3 tonight and have been greeted by a strange zip in the left speaker and another in the right channel. The zip was tame and then faded to silence.
No music is coming out of the SN3 either channel, in any input, with any devices, neither through headphones or speakers.
Have checked other components.
Any thoughts what has happened? Seems like something has failed.
Yes I have powered down. No change.
The unit lights are on. I hear the normal static hiss from the tweeter but when playing sound into the SN3 it is not playing them. Either on headphones or speakers.
I haven’t checked the fuse but as the system is on and powered I am guessing it’s not a fuse problem.
Just no sound.
The zip was like a strange audible whine. About 2 seconds long and then stopped. Like piiiiiiing and then off.
If you are getting hiss from the speakers, a noise when you connect something and all the lights are on and the remote working, it sounds as if it’s the source that might be the issue. Your profile mentions a Hugo as source - are you sure it’s working and outputting a line level signal?
Have you played around with Mute when it happened? My SN3 lost one channel when I muted it. Stuck relay. Never succeeded getting it unmuted and had to be repaired at naim HQ.
