Impact Series User’s Manual

Before seeking service for your amplifier or subwoofer, please re-check all systems. Following
is a simple troubleshooting guide to assist you.

1.  Verify that the unit is plugged in and power outlet used is active. 
2.  Is the power switch on? 
3.  Is the unit receiving an input signal from your source? 
4.  Have all controls (volume, crossover, phase, etc.) been properly set? 
5.  If the unit has been running at high levels, one of the protection circuits may be

engaged. Has the amplifier overheated?

6.  Make sure the speaker wires are fully inserted into the spring clip connectors and that

no wires are touching from one terminal to another.

If the protection circuitry is active, the unit may cycle on and off until operating parameters
return to normal. Under more serious conditions, the unit may shut off completely. Normal
operation should return upon cooling, but you may be required to turn the power off and then
on again to reset the unit.

The following conditions require service by a qualified technician: 

1.  The power cord has become damaged 
2.  The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance 

3.  The unit has been exposed to water 
4.  Some part of the chassis or circuitry is physically damaged

Thank You for Purchasing a Velodyne!
