ADS Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 We have four RPG2 Rokit 5 speakers that are now having some kind of low humming sound. We think it may be an internal amplifier issue but aren't sure. I have come across something about a black goo that corrodes internally after awhile due to the adhesive that is used. They are 10 years old but I'm wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue. And if so was it worth getting fix or did you ultimately replace them. Quote
Paul F Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 From another website "I had a Rokit 5 go bad (constant crackling). I took it to a local electronic repair guy. It had a pooched capacitor (I think) on one of the internal amps. He had it fixed within a day and it cost me $60.". Two others said basically the same thing, similar cost. Old electrolytic capacitor failures are a common problem in any electronics. Quote
Conor Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 There's at least one good repair technician at Trew Audio in Canada, if you could get the monitors to them I'm sure they would be able to help. Quote
