Taigen V3 speaker volume low

Post by ASTYuu »

Hello everyone,

I upgraded my Tiger from taigen V1 electronics to V3 last week.
everything works how it should except for the volume, it is extremely low.

I tried with the old and new speaker.
I also tried with the old and new volume knob.
Both make no difference.

Does anyone have an idea what it could be? :S

Just anecdotal from my own experience but I found Torro/Taigen V3 boards low volume. Definitely not the speaker as it paired with a Clark is quite loud. Still much louder than an IBU which were quiet as a mouse and if you have a Tamiya Tiger it's basically silent in comparison

I have a number of Taigen V3 Tiger cards, and all have plenty of volume except for one I shorted out accidentally. Try unplugging the volume knob & jumping the 2 outer pins together (on the board) to bypass it, then you can rule that out if still quiet because it should be full volume.

Otherwise, it's possible the op amp is blown on the sound card... see if they'll swap it out for you

Can't see it being anything other than the sound card being defective.
jumping the 2 pins together didn't do anything for me, only made the speaker make a high pitched noise.

will try contacting the vendor again.
hoping they reply to my second email as they ignored my first one.
