I recently got some Auratone 5C & was in the process of setting them up.. these (https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/5CAmpA230BK--auratone-5c-super-sound-cubes-4.5-inch-passive-reference-monitors-with-a2-30-power-amp-black)
I got the speakers connected to the amp via this speaker wire (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006LW0W5Y?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1)
& these banana plugs (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006U3O566?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
I stripped the wires and tried to make sure I set everything up correctly..
However i noticed once everything is set up… the monitors do play, but when I raise the volume more then a 1/4 of the way up. The amp’s light goes from green to red showing that the sound is clipping, when audibly the sound is barely past speaking level. Any ideas why this is happening/ solutions?
FYI I have them running into the Maschine mk3 as the audio interface..
P.s. the “threshold” if you could call it that does raise when i move the wires around… so I thought maybe the wires I got aren’t suited for these monitors… Or is it that these monitors being reference ones are just way quieter then normal ones..?
Thanks for any help I get..
