Cooling

Cooling in use

Due to the substantial power of the Mono X Signature, forced air-cooling 
is provided via two fans. The fans in the Mono X Signature feature an 
Intelligent  speed  controller.  When  the  unit  is  idling  the  fans  turn  off. 
As  the  amplifier  warms  up  the  fans  progressively  speed  up,  reaching 
maximum  speed  at  maximum  temperature.  In  this  way  the  fan  speed 
is always related to the power output of the unit and fan noise is barely 
discernible even at low volume levels. Whilst listening to music during 
quiet passages, the fans may slow down or in some cases stop altogether 
to avoid encroaching on the listening experience.

Cooling in standby

If the amplifier is set to Standby whilst the case is still hot, the fans will 
switch in at full speed, cooling the case before setting to Standby. During 
this  period  the  INPUT  indicator  will  glow  red,  extinguishing  when  the 
cooling cycle is complete.

TROuBlEShOOTING GuIdE

If your Mono X Signature is not operating properly, disconnect the power 
and check all connections using the notes in this handbook. If problems 
persist, the checklist below may be helpful.

If you are in doubt, consult your dealer.

No sound from one or all speakers
Check that the pre-amplifier and 
the power amplifiers are on.
Check  that  the  correct  amplifier 
input is selected.

The  standby  lights  should  be 
green.
The  INPUT  indicator  will  glow 
green for balanced input, orange 
for RCA/phono.

Check  that  the  loudspeakers  are 
connected.

The connection at the terminals of 
the loudspeakers and the Mono X 
Signature should be checked.

Your amplifier has a unique fault indication system to help you to diagnose 
problems. Fault condition messages will be displayed via the Standby and 
Input/Mute indicators in the event of a system fault.

INPUT indicator flashing between red and the normal input colour
The amplifier has overheated.

The  amplifier  will  automatically 
run the fans at full speed until it 
has cooled to a safe temperature, 
it  will  then  return  to  Standby, 
ready for normal operation. Check 
to  ensure  there  is  adequate 
ventilation for the amplifier. 

STANDBY indicator flashing orange/green 
The 

amplifier 

has 

been 

overloaded.

Check 

that 

the 

speaker 

connections  are  correctly  made 
with  no  possibility  of  a  short-
circuit.  If  the  problem  persists, 
the  speaker  impedance  may  be 
too low.

STANDBY indicator flashing red or red/orange
The  amplifier  has  an  internal 
fault.

Switch off the amplifier, disconnect 
it from the system and return it for 
service.
