Operation Manual

CONDITION: Power indicator is off.

POSSIBLE REASON

The amplifier has lost AC power.

The amplifier’s Power switch is off.

The amplifier is not plugged into the

power receptacle.

The amplifier output level is so high that

the power supply fuse has blown. Verify
that input levels and output impedances
are within safe ranges. Refer the unit to
an authorized Crown service center for
fuse replacement.

CONDITION: Distorted sound.

POSSIBLE REASON:

Load is wired incorrectly.

Input signal level is too high. Turn down

your amplifier level controls, or turn
down the input signal, until the clip light
goes out.

Note: If the signal sounds distorted even
though the Clip LED is off, the input signal is
distorted. Check gain staging and output lev-
els of the mixer or preamp.
