TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the REDBACK 15W amplifier fails to deliver the rated performance, check the following: 

 

No Power, No Lights 

 

Make sure amplifier power switch is on. Check the DC fuse. Replace with only the correct type and rating. Over  

 

rated fuses will invalidate warranty. 

 

Distorted Output 

 

Check that the speaker type is correct for the output that you are using (ie. 4-16Ω). Check for any short circuits  

 

on the speaker line. 

 

Very Low Output Volume 

 

Make sure that the input is the correct level (check for shorted connectors). Check for any short circuits on the  

 

speaker line. 

 

Continually Blows Fuses

 

Make sure that the speaker line is not shorted. Check speaker types, ratings and if on correct output. 

 

Amplifier Keeps on Cutting In & Out

 

Check speaker types, ratings and  for any short circuits on the speaker line.
