LED Indicators

The LEDs indicate: Clip – Signal – Power – Protection
and ON indication. With the Gain controls you can
increase or decrease the audio level.

Clip LED displays normal: When the power is beyond
normal level the LED lights. When the LED flashes it is
caused by overload, too high temperature, short circuit
output. Please decrease the gain control to a standard
level. If a distorted sound is heard the speakers might
be defective, there is no LED lightness.

Signal LED: When the signal is over 35dB the LED lights , when the signal is close to full power the LED
flashes. When the LED seldom lights please check the input connection (cable or connector?). There is no
input signal and the LED lights, there is something wrong with the product. Please reduce the gain to zero,
the product needs a repair.

Power LED: Green LED
Protection LED: Red LED; When on any given point, something damaging might occur to your amplifier, it

will switch in protect mode. The amplifier will disconnect the point where the damage is about to occur and
switch on the protection led to indicate to you that something is wrong. Reasons might be: Bad ventilation,
a low impedance (< 4 Ohm), Defect fan(s), and a short circuit in cables.
The protection LED will also light up when the amplifier is powered up. This is the soft-start of the amplifier.
After a few seconds the LED should go off and the amplifier is ready for use.
