Possible Cause
1. Input gain set too high
2. Defective/incompatible speaker
3. Volume control wired incorrectly
4. Volume control Impedance Match
settings incorrect
Speakers out of phase
1. Source connected to wrong

2. Speakers connected to incorrect
speaker outputs
3. DIP switches set incorrectly
1. Power switch is Off
2. Circuit breaker tripped

Solution
1. Reduce gain to the channel in ques-
tion.
2. (a) Check for physical damage to
speaker.
(b) Ensure speakers have appropriate
power rating for amplifier.
(c) Ensure speakers are rated @ 8
Ohm impedance. This amp is compatible
with speakers with 8 Ohm impedance or
greater.
3. Check for proper input/output con-
nections at volume control. Input comes
from amplifier, output goes to speakers.
4. Verify/correct Impedance Match set-
tings.
Verify that + of amplifier goes to +of
speaker and - of amplifier goes to - of
speaker on ALL speaker leads.
1. Verify/correct input connections.
2. Verify/correct speaker connections.
3. Verify/correct DIP switch settings.
1. Turn switch On. Switch is located on
the back of unit.
2. Reset circuit breaker. Ensure that
combined current draw of all devices
on circuit does not exceed the circuit's
capacity.
