Troubleshooting

No.sound!
• Are the level controls on the mixer or
amplifier turned all the way down? Fol-
low the procedures in the "Quick Start"
section on page 4 to verify that all the
volume controls in the system are prop-
erly adjusted.
• Is the signal source working (and making
union scale)? Make sure all the con-
necting cables are in good repair and
securely connected at both ends.

• Are the level controls set the same for
both channels on the mixer and ampli-
fier?
• Check the PAN control on the signal
source. It may be turned too far to one
side. If you're using a stereo signal
source, it may be delivering an out-of-
balance stereo signal.
• Try swapping sides: Switch the speaker
cables coming from the amplifier at the
amplifier end. If the other side is louder
now, the problem is with the amplifier,
the mixer, or the signal source.

• Check the polarity of the connections
between the amplifier and the loud-
speakers. You may have your positive
and negative connections reversed at
one end of one cable.

• You have a broken finger.
Bad.sound!
• Is it loud and distorted? Follow the pro-
cedures described in the "Quick Start"
section to verify that the levels are set
properly.
• Are all the connections secure? It's a
good idea to periodically clean all electri-
cal connections with a non-lubricating
electrical contact cleaner.
• Keep practicing.
