DXR10 emits odor when pushed at loud gig anyone else?

Yes they are new....anyone else have their DXR-10 emit some sort of smell when pushed hard..Had this happen last night..and it stinks..! Voice coil getting hot possibly? . I have a pair and it happened with the other one as well but not as much it seemed...but they are fine..I guess, i hope..?

I have a pair of DXR 10's as well and I don't remember having smelled odor like you said.
How exactly does it smell? Burnt?
I would put them through it's paces during the next week feeding audio,steril to them constantly and see, hear, smell what happens.

Hi Ingolf

thanks, ya not really burnt just like weird electrical smell..? hard to describe. i sent a message to Yamaha support so i will see what they say and report back. im playing through them now, at low volume though and seems ok. I was pushing it last night though...but still didn't smell like roses ill tell you that !!.

aww ok yes. will do

I think mine did that once or twice when I first got it. It smelled like new electronic gear, getting warmed up from use.

HI,thanks for the replies..Yes something like that seems to have happened..i have been playign through it..not really loud but its been fine..Called Yamaha today and talked with a guy in the pro audio dept and he had not heard of it but he is going to have a tech call me back..ill keep you posted. thanks

OK, talked with Ed over at Yamaha, the tech..he really hadn't heard of it either, but says let watch it and see what happens.... He thinks it was just something getting hot and "breaking in" It was very loud at times and he thinks it might have clipped?! not sure.... One thing i forgot to mention, i was not running it straight out of my AxeFx. Not sure this setup would have mattered but i was just using it as a main pretty much, with the other speaker on the other side being a JBL Eon 15.. I sent two 1/4in to XLR to the board. Then back from the board was an XLR with a mix of vocals and my guitar. The guy running the board had myself, panned hard left into the DXR10, which i found out later... Dont know if the signal from the board was too hot or what?? so why i was running in stereo didn't really matter..it was LOUD for sure..guess ill just have to see how it does...yes the 7 year warranty is nice, and Yamaha is right up the road from me about an 1 1/2 hours..

well, doesnt smell now....ive been playing through them, buit just not high spl..everything seems ok, i guess...ill keep testing..Ya when i had this issue it wasn't like i reached down where you turn it off and i could smell it. I could smell it standing above it while in monitor position, the drummer could as well..He said "something smells like it is burning"..but it didn't smell like burning, ..like hot electronics..? .i dont know..well see.
