Troubleshooting

Situation Action

No Audio Output

Check AC power - is the power LED on?

Check in/out 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

Compression,

Background Noise is

Noticeable During Quiet

Sections Of The Program

Quiet program material is effectively made louder while loud peaks are made quieter. When

the program source is thus raised in volume, its noise floor is also raised in volume by a

proportionate amount. This is not a defect in the Compressor/Limiter, but an unavoidable

side effect of the gain altering process. If the noise becomes a problem, the solutions are to

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. Use good quality cable with connectors

soldered firmly on the correct pin. When in doubt, get in touch with your Ashly dealer.
