Interesting. I will have a closer look and see if any change to the
design or the assembly procedure is in order.
BTW, the thing the microphone is good for is not so much to confirm
that it's making a noise, but to pinpoint the source.

Agreed, a good uni-mic would get the job done. I'd be interested in any
results you find, although I can see how this might be low on the list
of priorities. Take care.

I don't know what we calibrate them to - reasonably hand tight is all it
needs. I'm quite sure they're T-10 though.

Sean, so you were half right, the internal torx are t10, but, at least
on my unit, the outer screws are t8. But that doesn't really matter
(so why do I point it out you ask!!)
Anyway, I took the screen off played a particularly bad song and most
of the buzz went away.
So I took the SB3
Hi, I figured this forum section would be the best place to post
this...When certain bass notes are hit, I get a nasty rattle from the
SB3. I hooked up my function generator to the amp and it's right
around 75Hz which is the worst. I can generally fix the problem by
sticking a thick piece of
It's easy to open if you have the right tools - you need a torx t-10
screwdriver. The most likely culprits I could think of would be the
3300uf cap or the cables that go to the two antennas. I have never
heard of this being a problem before - I could check here with a
microphone, but if it's a
In any case it sounds like you may want to contact support and request a
replacement front panel. The adhesion problem was fixed a long time ago.
I suppose the case may not be torqued down properly, but that seems less
likely to me to cause a rattle. The screwdrivers we use are calibrated,
but
Thanks Sean,
Hmmm, really seems like a plastic rattle. We have a set of torx
drivers in the lab at work (I'm an electro-acoustics/audio engineer),
but I wanted to check here before opening the unit. I'll check it out.
If it's a cap or cable, I'll let you know. I'll try snugging the
screws up
Doh, brought home a t10 torx and it doesn't fit the screw heads. I'm I
missing something? Doesn't much matter, I'll take the SB3 to work and
we have the full array of torx drivers.
Looking at the unit up close (and in person), the upper left of the
display screen can actually be pulled away
