Re: K3 S/N 412 annoying resonance

Hi Fern,

Please excuse my previous e-mail.

Your annoying speaker resonance may be due to over tightning the speaker mounting screws and having distorted the speaker frame to cause it to contact the voice coil. Try loosening the screws somewhat.
I have K3/100 S/N 409 and do not have this problem but I have built several K2's and was aware what to look out for over the years with the supplied speaker.

Let me know what you find.

Hi All,

I did an experiment with my K3 this afternoon, and found the top cover
resonating at about 400 Hz, but I had to turn the AF gain to full to get it
really going.  With the gain at < half I could not really notice it.
The front edge of the top cover was vibrating against the front panel frame.
Perhaps another couple of screws along that edge might be a fix.  I suppose
that might increase the resonant frequency of that edge out of the side tone
pitch range.
