Troubleshooting

Situation	Action
No Audio Output	Check AC Power. Is the power switch on? Check input and output connections - are they
	reversed? Are you sure you have an input signal?
Controls Have No Effect	Is the Limiter In/Out switch In? Perhaps the Ratio control is set too low to produce an audible
	effect or the input level is below threshold. Is the Threshold LED lighting up? If not, lower the
	threshold setting or increase the gain. Do not expect to hear any effect when the input level
	is below threshold, since the unit is simply a linear amplifier at those levels.
When Using Heavy	Quiet program material is effectively made louder while loud peaks are made quieter. When
Compression,	the program source is thus raised in volume, its noise floor is also raised in volume by a
Background Noise Is	proportionate amount. This is not a defect in the Compressor/Limiter, but an unavoidable
Noticeable During Quiet	side effect of the gain altering process. If the noise becomes a problem, the solutions are to
Sections Of The Program	either decrease noise at the program source, or use less compression.
Excessive Hum Or Noise	Hum is often 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
	the CLX unit have balanced inputs and outputs. Noise can also be caused by insufficient
	drive levels. Make sure you are sending a nominal 0 dBV line level signal to the unit.

Note: Unshielded cables, improperly wired connections, and cable with broken strands (shorts, etc.) are the most common problems. Make sure you use good quality cable with connectors soldered firmly on the correct pin. When in doubt, get in touch with your Ashly dealer.
