9  TROUBLESHOOTING  

 

9.1  System not powering up 

 Check the Overvoltage Protection leds 

-  No LED lit: Check if voltage is arriving to the PowerCon socket, and if mains 

cable is in good condition. If yes, the overvoltage circuit may be damaged. 
Contact support. 

-  Red (>250V). Voltage arriving to the PowerCon socket is above 250VAC. 

Check the mains voltage is in the rated limits (/-10%). If mains 
voltage is OK, the overvoltage circuit may be damaged. Contact support. 

-  Blue  (Power  On):  Overvoltage  circuit  is  functioning  properly.  If  none  of  the 

Status LEDs or the touchscreen are being lit, the fuse in the power module may 
be  blown.  The  replacement  of  this  fuse  must  be  carried  out  by  specialized 
personnel as it is an internal component of the amplifier module.  

 

9.2  No output sound 

 Check with the indicators (Signal Present LED & Touchscreen) that the signal is 

being received by the system. 

 Check that the signal cables are in good condition and connected at both ends 

 The mixer output level must not be at minimum. 

 Check that the mixer channel is not muted. 

 Check that the system is not in MUTE or STANDBY (MUTE LED or STANDBY LED) 

not lit. If yes, go inside the menu using the touchscreen and deactivate them: 

-  To disable the Standby go to SETUP and select STANDBY OFF. 
-  To disable the MUTE go to AUDIO, GAIN and push the icon with a loudspeaker. 

 Check that the system GAIN is not set to the minimum. To do that, go to the AUDIO 

setting using the touchscreen, select GAIN and move the slider to the 0dB position. 
 

9.3  Distorted output signal 

 The system is being saturated with a very high input signal, frequently caused by 

the same mixer. Check the output level or mixer gain channels. 
 

9.4  Poor bass levels 

 Check the polarity on the signal connections between the mixer and cabinets. If any 

of the Pins (1, 2 or 3) have been inverted at the cable ends, this will cause significant 
performance and sound quality loss.  
 

9.5  Noise and Hum 

 Check that all the connections to the active units are in good condition. 

  Avoid  intertwining  between  mains  supply  cables  or  proximity  to  transformers  or 

Electromagnetic (EMI) emitting devices. 

 Check there is no light intensity regulator in the same AC circuit as the unit. ALWAYS 

connect the sound and light circuits in different phases.  

 Check that there is a proper connection to EARTH in the electrical installation.
