5.0POSSIBLE ERROR SOURCES/ TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The BassKick is not getting any power:
-Check the mains cable to see if it is connected properly.
-The mains fuse is defective. Replace the fuse with another identical fuse. If this fuse also blows, consult your Hughes & Kettner dealer.
The BassKick is connected properly, but no sound is audible.
-The GAIN and/or MASTER controls are turned all the way down. Dial in a higher setting.
-You have patched in an effects processor and you either connected the cords incorrectly or the device is off. Check out the FX signal chain.
-You have plugged into the headphones jack, which automatically switches the internal speaker off. Disconnect the headphones.
When accessed, the LINE OUT jack causes annoying hum.
-The connected device’s input circuit is unbalanced and an electrical or magnetic field is causing interference. Use a balanced input or situate the cables to reduce interference to a minimum.
-The grounding of the connected devices are causing a ground loop. Do not sever the ground of the connected devices under any circumstances! Attempt to solve the problem by severing the ground on one side of the balanced cable you are using to connect the devices (line cable). If this doesn’t eliminate the noise, you must ensure the connection is galvanically separated by routing the signal through a DI box.
You have patched the LINE OUT signal to a mixing console, but the sound coming through the PA or recording device is totally distorted.
-The mixing console’s balanced input is not set to line level. Set the level accordingly at the mixing console. If for some reason this is not possible, patch the signal to an unbalanced line input at the mixing console or use a connecting cable featuring an integrated voltage divider (available from your local dealer or PA service company).
BassKick 707 only:
The amp’s output level seems too low.
-The overall impedance of the connected cabinets is well above 4 ohms. In order to access the amp’s full output power, connect an additional cabinet in parallel or have a technician rewire the cabinet. Ensure the overall impedance is never below 4 ohms.
-A device connected to the effects loop is reducing the signal level. Adjust the signal level via the device’s input/output control.
BassKIck 505 only:
The amp’s output level seems too low.
-A device connected to the effects loop is reducing the signal level. Adjust the signal level via the device’s input/output control.
