Helpful Hints
1) No sound:
The MUTE function has been inadvertently engaged.
Speakers have been improperly connected.
Effect Loop has been improperly connected.
2) AMP seems very sensitive on input signals:
The drive control is turned all the way up.
The active switch may need to be turned on.
3) DIR XLR hum:
Try switching the rear GND LIFT switch IN or OUT.
Check for noise from external effects or bad cabling.
4) POOR BASS FROM MULTIPLE ENCLOSURES:
Make sure the internal speaker wiring of each cabinet is correct for phase ( +/- ).
5) FOR MAXIMUM OUTPUT:
To get more output, use multiple speakers or enclosures. Every time you double your speakers, your acoustic output goes up by a factor of four.
Load the amplifier down to its lowest minimum impedance for maximum RMS power.
* If you are using less than 4 ohms, be sure to set the
2 OHM SWITCH
to IN. If you go below the minimum load, your amp will shut off and go into the “protect” mode. To reset,
turn your amp off and connect the recommended load or set the 2 OHM SWITCH.
SPEAKON
®
cables are recommended for your
BX700
because of their high current capacity. While standard 1/4” speaker cables will work, 12 GA SPEAKON
®
cables will allow higher
currents to pass through the cable to extract every watt from your amp.
The
BX700
is a powerful amplifier. As with any amplifier, make sure your speakers are suitable for the available wattage. Driving speakers with too much wattage will cause them to
distort and eventually fail. If distorted sound is coming from the speakers, reduce the volume until the distortion stops.
