Troubleshooting
Many problems can be eliminated by
re-checking the wiring and settings of the
unit. If a problem cannot be solved using
the guide below, please call the AudioCon-
trol team for further assistance, or e-mail
us at sound.great@audiocontrol.com
1. NoSound
a. Verify the front panel LED is blue.
b. Check that the Avalon G4 is not in
standby mode (LED red).
c. Check the input wiring from your
sources to the Avalon G4 inputs.
d. Verify the source unit is operating
correctly and playing, not paused.
e. Check the speaker connections on
the rear panel are secure.
f. If the unit does not power up at all,
unplug the power cord and check
the AC Power Fuse on the rear
panel.
g. Check that the crossover settings
are matched to your speakers.
2. Speaker channels are cutting in and
out:
a. If using external volume controls,
check that they can handle the
power output.
b. Make sure the speaker impedance
is not less than 4 Ohms, or 8 Ohms
when used in bridged mono.
c. There may be a short in the wires.
Suspect a short if the problem hap-
pens only at higher volume levels.
3. Speaker Buzzing or Crackling at high
volume:
a. Reduce any preamplier/equalizer
low-frequency boost.
b. Turn o your “Sounds of the
Pacic Northwest” chainsaw and
bacon-frying CD.
c. Check that the crossover settings
are matched to your speakers.
Mindfulness
1. Take a deep breath in, hold it, and
chant the specications page.
2. Breath out slowly, while contem-
plating the joy of Avalon G4 owner-
ship.
4. Isn’t it nice to know that the
Avalon G4 is so ecient that
electrons can be free from the
mundane life of room heating, and
have more free time and energy to
push the loudspeakers around and
reproduce your wonderful music.
3. Breath in and out again as normal,
and assume the “Salute to the
Electron” position while reading
the rest of this manual.
4. Do not try this on the bus home
though. People might talk.
