    Why does my Arcam Amplifier sound cut-out unexpectedly?
    • M
      Matthew WhiteAug 26, 2025
      The Arcam SA30 amplifier may enter a protection mode if a fault is detected. The front panel LED will indicate the fault type: * FLASHING WHITE: The internal temperature of the unit reached an unsafe level. Allow the SA30 to cool off. * FLASHING RED: The SA30 amplifier detected a speaker short circuit. Inspect all the speaker cables to make sure none of them are shorted together. * FLASHING ORANGE: The amplifier detected a DC offset. Following any of these faults, the amplifier will turn itself off and power to the speakers will be removed. To continue using the SA30, the fault must be removed and the unit must be turned OFF then back ON.

      Ensure all cables are making a good connection. If necessary, withdraw the cable from the connector and plug it fully in again, after turning the power off. Check that the connections inside the source cable connector are not broken or badly soldered. If the hum originates only when one particular source component is connected, ensure that an aerial cable, or dish connection to this source is ground isolated. Contact your installation contractor.

    Why does the sound cut out unexpectedly on my Arcam SA30?
    • C
      Christopher KellerSep 6, 2025
      The sound on your Arcam SA30 Amplifier might be cutting out unexpectedly because it has entered a protection mode due to a detected fault. The front panel LED will indicate the fault type: FLASHING WHITE indicates the internal temperature of the unit reached an unsafe level (allow the SA30 to cool off), FLASHING RED indicates a speaker short circuit (inspect all speaker cables), FLASHING ORANGE indicates a DC offset.
