Distortion
Distortion is usually caused by excessive loss in the input controls (the mixer/equalizer/crossover cannot
produce enough output), overdriving resulting in output clipping, or current limiting caused by excessively low
load impedance.
1) Check the setting of the input level controls. If set too low, the preceding piece of equipment may not
have sufficient output to overcome the loss.
2) Check the speaker connections and verify that all screw connections are tight and that there are no stray
strands of wire to cause short circuits.
3) Verify that the total load impedance presented to the amplifier is within the limits described in this manual
for mode of operation selected.
