Redback® A 4377/87

 Four Input Public Address Amplifier

POWER SUPPLY

The amplifier operates on 230V AC or primarily for battery backup operation a 24V DC supply. Ensure power is switched 
OFF at the front panel before connecting either mains power to the IEC socket or 24V DC to the screw terminal input. As 
high currents may be drawn when operating from a 24V DC supply confirm the capacity of the DC power supply used. 

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the REDBACK Phase 4 amplifier fails to deliver the rated performance, check the following: 

No Power, No Lights 

Make sure amplifier power switch is on. Make sure mains power switch is on at the wall. Check the mains and DC fuse. 
Replace with only the correct type and rating. Over rated fuses with invalidate warranty. 

Distorted Output 

Check that the speaker type is correct for the output that you are using (ie. 100V line). 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. 
Check if signal LED on the front panel is lit to indicate there is signal. If it is not lit there is no signal present. 

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 

Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the amplifier. Check the vent slots on the front,top and sides are not 
covered or blocked and the fan on the rear is functioning correctly. Check also speaker types, ratings and for any short 
circuits on the speaker line.
