8.TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

8.1No Output

Check AC power - are LED indicators on? Check in/out connections, are they reversed? Are you sure you have input signal?

8.2Peak light flashes frequently

The level is too high somewhere in the cross- over. Try turning down individual output levels and then the input until the peak LED stays off. If the peak LED continues to flash when all of the crossover level controls are turned down, then the crossover is being fed excessively high lev- els from a previous piece of equipment. Turn down your driving source!

8.3Distorted sound

Is the peak light flashing? If it is, an overload is occurring within the crossover, and may also be occurring in other parts of the system. If the peak light is not flashing, the distortion is occurring somewhere outside the crossover.

8.4Excessive hum or noise

Hum will usually be caused by a “ground loop” between components. Try using the suggested balanced input and output hookups if the other pieces of equipment used in conjunction with your crossover have balanced inputs and outputs. Noise can be caused by insufficient drive signal. Ashly crossovers provide the best noise and head- room performance when the input signal is 0 to +4dBu level and power amplifier sensitivity is higher than 1 volt. Unshielded cables, improperly wired connections, and cable with broken strands (shorts, etc.) are the most common problems. Please properly maintain and inspect your wiring first.
