Troubleshooting

If Power LED lights green and no sound, check your input signal f.ex. by switching speakers.

If power LED does not light at all and no sound, check the fuse. If replaced and still no sound contact your Dynaudio Acoustics Dealer.

If protection LED lights red check the temperature of the heat sink. If it feels hot turn off the speaker and wait for some 10 minutes to allow the amplifier to cool off. Turn it on again. If it works now it is ok, but you may need more air circulation around your speaker to avoid overheating to take place again.

Care

Components of the highest quality is used in your BM 5A. This assures years of trouble free operation. Following precautions should still be made though.

Avoid running the system into severe clipping. Even there is an advanced protection system, you may be able to destroy your speakers by severe overpowering. The limiter works over a certain range, but exceeding this level may send a severely clipped signal to your drivers. When a noticeable distortion occurs, please turn down the level to your speakers.

Avoid hot plugging the equipment connected to the monitors. Always turn off the speaker and other equipment when plugging or unplugging signals, or switching equipment on or off.

Do not touch the drive units by hand. The tweeter especially uses a very fine fabric dome with a ultra thin coating.

Options

The BM 5A may be combined with a Dynaudio Acoustics subwoofer for extended bass performance, and higher spl if highpass filter is used. See Setting Up.
