Owner’s Reference P-200 Preamplifier C-100 Control Amplifier

If the amp shuts down while playing music

Carver Sunfi re type of subwoofers will not work properly when connected to the Trio’s outputs. This is because the C-100 is a balanced type of output with a DC voltage as referenced to ground.

If the C-100 shuts off when playing music, there are several possibilities. If the music plays quite loudly but shuts off on the most explosive parts of the music of video soundtrack, then the C-100 Amplifi er is probably underrated for the type of speaker you are using. See your dealer or call PS Audio for advice on going to the next size power amplifi er.

If the amplifi er shuts down with very little volume, then check the speaker cable connections. The Trio can actually play music at low levels even into a near short on its outputs. Chances are good that you have a shorted connector (plus touching the minus) and you should simply check carefully on the back of the speaker and the back of the amplifi er.
