  Well done on the sale, didn't think you'd sell out and missed out because I was waiting on a relisting/reply in regard to the MX3 before 10pm.

  Just a question on the A44 speakers for the future. Are they shielded? I want to use them as a reference monitor with my DAW / computer.

    Sorry they aren't magnetically shielded

      Thanks for the response! I'll keep an eye out for a shielded version in the future, perhaps :-)

  Hey rep, you must have missed my last comment asking, but do I hook B44s with the Q5 Pro in series or parallel?

    One speaker is connected to the LEFT speaker output of the Q5 and one speaker is connected to the RIGHT speaker output of the Q5 with speaker cables.

    It will look something like this: http://www.richardfarrar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/spea…

      Thanks for that. That's what I thought initially before stumbling upon this article which stated that speakers less than 8 ohms should be connected in series to increase the impedance otherwise it'd be too low for the amp. The amp says its impedance range is 4-8 ohms, but wouldn't connecting the 2 speakers in parallel result in an impedance of 2 ohms, whereas series would be 8 ohms which is within the range? I know very little about this, so just wondering. I'm assuming everyone connects it in parallel anyway, so it should be ok.

        that article is talking about connecting 4 speakers to a 2 channel amplifier. Are you looking to connect 4 speakers? If so yes you need to connect 2 in a series for each channel as the minimum impedance of the Q5 is 4 ohms.

        If you are just connecting a single pair of voll b44's to a Q5 then it's just one for each channel - there's no series/parallel wiring. The user manual that comes with our Voll B44 has instructions on how to wire up to the amplifiers that we sell, but if you require any further help once you get your order please let me know.

        @chiefbodge: Ahhh my bad, thanks for that. Thought it was just as simple as that.

  My A44 arrived today and after setting them up, I noticed an audible hiss and high-pitched pulsing whine (similar to a small spinning fan) when sitting ~60cm away. When no sound signal is being played I could hear the background hiss/whine and I would have to flick the rear switch to turn it off, until I need to listen to something again.
  Was wondering if anyone else experienced a similar problem with their A44, or know how to fix it.

    Hi quitram,

    This is certainly not normal behaviour for the A44 - it should be completely quiet at idle (unless you have your head right next to the woofer, you might here a very slight hiss). It sounds like you have a ground loop issue somewhere, a good way to test if this is to take the cables out of the back of the A44 and see if it whines with the cable out. If it does then it's a faulty A44, if it doesn't then it's either the included cable is faulty cable or something down the line causing it.

    Did you have speakers previously and if so did they have a similar whine? Also what do you have them plugged into?

    Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or reply to this thread for more support, if we can't get anywhere with the troubleshooting we'd be happy to take them back for testing and send a replacement or you can get a refund at any time if you prefer.

    Regards,

    Jay

      Hi Jay, thanks for the reply.
      My previous setup was the Swan M10 + Z623 (mainly for the subwoofer). Right now I have the A44 + Z623 connected to my Fiio E10k using a splitter.
      Both the M10 and Z623 do exhibit hiss but to a lesser extent. However, the high-pitched spinning fan whine/electrical ringing sound (I don't have the words to describe it) is new to me and is only noticeable in the A44. It even happens with only the power AC adapter plugged in and everything else unplugged; input cable & right speaker unplugged.
      I will spend more time with the speakers tomorrow to see if the whine and hiss still bothers me.
      And on a side note, the speakers sound amazing; punchier midbass and slightly less hiss in the vocals compared to the M10. Might probably go with a B44 + amp combo if I decide to return it.

  Hey chief,
  Noticed that the speakers and amps are back in the eBay store. Any chance you can give me a code for them? Wanted to get the B44 + MX3 last time but you guys ran out of stock.

    Unfortunately as the cost of this promotion was partially borne by eBay we can't repeat this deal.

  I finally got my A44 speakers after a stuff-up by the courier company caused my parcel to be delivered to the wrong suburb — Jay was very helpful and the courier got the parcel back and into the right hands. The speakers are excellent and I will definitely be buying more Voll gear in future.

  My only minor nitpick is that the power supply cable is a little on the short side (only ~1.5m long, or maybe a little less). Does anyone know if a generic power supply with a longer cable is OK to use as a replacement?

    Very sorry that the courier stuffed up so badly - glad to hear that they didn't lose it in the end.

    Thanks for the feedback regarding power cable length - it's definitely something that we'll address in future revisions.

    Probably the cheapest option to get a longer cable is buying a 1m DC extension cable such as this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DC-Power-Connector-Male-5-5mm-x-2…

    As long as the wire thickness is 22awg or under and it's a 5.5mmx2.1mm DC female/male extension then it would work.

      deadpoet on 06/10/2017 - 16:14

      No worries and cheers Jay, I'll look into getting a DC extension cable.
