MPC Live Mkii Speaker Issue

Hi All

Would appreciate any experiences with the MPC Live Mkii Speaker, I'm a new owner and new to MPC. I received the MPC Live Mkii last week and appear to have vibration, rattle, buzzing sounds coming from the right speaker ( volume at 50% ) when I play bass notes, sounds like broken speaker, is this other peoples experience or do I have a defective unit do you think?

Many thanks

Call the store you bought it from, there should be no rattle.

Post up your files though and I am sure somebody could test your project out.

Man, why they have to put a speaker in it... I was hoping the live 2 would be more like the mpc500 with a better screen, maybe like an 8inch touch screen..

It's defective - send it back. Hopefully it's not past your return window, otherwise you'll need to send it to Akai for warranty service.

Thanks, waiting for the store to get back to me.

You know how many of those speakers are going to get blown out.

Next up is going to be the speaker cartridge... so you can refresh your beats.

Sooo.. sad to say, but mine also developed a similar buzz. But I'm actually pretty sure it's not the speaker itself but something else that starts to vibrate when playing the 'right' frequencies. Took my time to listen to it from all corners and the actual sound these speakers develop is pretty good. If only it wasn't a 1200 bucks device, then I'd just remove the cover, look for the buzzing area and apply some gaffa..

Two in a day.

Thanks for sharing, I do wonder if it’s a frequency buzz and whether it’s a speaker design issue and not a specific unit which is faulty, it only happens with certain bass notes and only on certain bass samples for me.

if you share your sample(s) others who have the mk2 can at least give it a go.

build quality of the SL1210MKii would be nice on any instrument

Some people complain about the MPC X at 12 pounds not being portable, imagine 26 pounds for SL 12010. In 6 month most people will need replace speakers.
