No sound from a LM-1

(1/2) > >>

Dean:
I installed a LM-1 into a Stewart/Kato F3. I soldered the speaker wire to a iPhone 4S speaker. But I have no sound. If you select the 'Bell' sound and put your ear next to the speaker, you can just barely hear it with the volume turned all the way up. There is no horn or engine sound that I can hear.
Am I using the wrong speaker?

Dean:

Did you buy the loudspeaker or the earpiece speaker?

Can you post a pic of your install? You might be using the wrong speaker.

If the speaker looks like this



Then you should get good sound from it.

If it looks like this



Then you'll hardly get any sound as the speaker has no sound chamber to amplify the sound waves. If you've got the second type you'll need to make or buy a chamber. If it's the first type I'd check the wiring again or perhaps the speaker is faulty.

It may be a silly question, but are you using a LM-1 or a LM-1S? The LM-1 is not sound capable.

Sorry Mel, I hate to be the one to point out (for Deans sake) the LM-1 is sound capable. There was no separate LM-1S.

Just thinking about that further though, Dean are you really using an old LM-1 or is it actually an LM-2
 (non sound) or LM-2S (sound) and you perhaps hit the wrong key when typing your message?
