Okay, so you have a flashing light. Deep breath.
We’ll get this taken care of shortly.
When Aegir’s front right light flashes during
operation (and the amp mutes), or if it never
stops flashing after you turn on the amp,
there’s a problem, or fault. There are three
kinds of faults:
1. Over-temperature. The heatsinks are too hot,
and Aegir has shut down to protect its output. If
the amp is very hot, turn it off, wait a while for it
to cool down, and try turning it on again. Aegir
runs very high standing bias and runs very hot;
in very warm homes (30 degrees C/85 degrees
F, for example), you may need to use a fan for
additional cooling to avoid overtemperature
shutdown.
2. Over-current. It’s unlikely that Aegir will run
into over-current protection playing almost any
speaker, but if the speaker cables are shorted, or
there is an internal fault in the speaker, you may
run into over-current protection.
CLEARING FAULTS
To troubleshoot this, turn off the amp, discon-
nect the speaker cables from the amp, and turn it
back on again. If it comes back on, there may be
a short in your speaker cables (or your speakers).
Examine your connections to ensure there are
no stray wires or shorts. Once those have been
fixed, you can reconnect the speakers and play
music again.
3. High DC offset. Aegir is a DC-coupled amp. Its
microprocessor monitors DC levels at the output
and adjusts it down to zero. However, it may not
be able to correct for high DC from your source
(such as a preamp). To clear this fault, turn off
the amp, disconnect the RCA cables or XLR cable
from the amp, and turn it back on again. If the
amp turns on normally, then there may be high
DC on the output of your source. Have the source
inspected and repaired.
