6) MAIN AC BREAKER TRIPS: Each high powered amp may require
a separate 20 amp circuit breaker (230V: 10 amp) for delivering
full power. Note: Some 120V homes have only 15 amp breakers.
1) NO SOUND FROM CH 2: The rear recessed BRIDGE switch
has been inadvertently pushed in.
2) STEREO CHANNELS SOUND THE SAME: The rear
PARALLEL switch has been inadvertently pushed in.
3) NO HIGH FREQUENCIES: Tweeters or midrange drivers have
been damaged or blown from feedback or overpowering.
4) SYSTEM HUM: Try switching the GND LIFT switch IN or OUT
(depending on your use). If hum is not eliminated, then use Carvin’s
MTF55 XLR cable ground lifter by connecting it inline to your XLR
cable(s).
5) POOR SOUND (BASS): The speaker systems are wired out
of phase to each other. To correct, reverse the wires on one
speaker connector only and your bass response will improve.
