M-Audio DSM1 Problems
Hi Guys,
New to this forum, so forgive things if I don't know where to post etc.

A year ago bought 2 M-Audio DSM1 monitors from USA, I live in Australia. Had a problem about 9 months ago, one of them turned on, but stopped producing any sound. Decided to get it fixed here in Australia, paid $300 (more than what was paid for them initially from the states) and it works fine.

Needless to say, the same thing has happened again.
Had them running last night whilst watching a film, then one just stopped working. No sound, lights and power were fine.

Does this happen regularly to monitors, or am I doing something wrong?
I've got it connected to a power-board (an expensive one at that), would this be the problem?

Thanks.

Do you mean power supply?, not sure what a power board means(I hope its not a power amp!)

I find the M-audio "black" products are quite unreliable. Powered speakers are not supposed to go bad and should last a very long time. I would look into fixing it or purchase another pair used. I own a pair of equator d5 and they are red hot here on gearslutz, cheap too only $300 us a pair.

I meant plugged into a power board instead of straight into the wall, in case of a surge. So surge protector?

Sad to hear they're unreliable. Sucks. Last time I think it was the power amp or something inside (the repairer said). Might suck it up and pay for the repair. Thanks.

Has anyone's speakers just stopped playing for any reason? Power works fine.

That sucks. Sorry to hear.
I think it's the power amp part of the monitors. My friend and I have had the same problem. I believe once its fixed, it shouldn't happen again if its fixed properly.
Expensive to fix but hopefully won't stuff up again.
