Carver CV Series user manual Distortion

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.
