Why is there no sound on some channels of my B&K Amplifier?
- B
  brian80Jul 30, 2025
  If you're experiencing a lack of sound on certain channels of your B&K Amplifier, even with the 'on' LED lit, several factors could be responsible. Check the following: * Ensure speaker leads are securely connected; tighten, repair, or replace faulty cables. * Verify that the cables connecting the line stage to the amplifier are properly connected; tighten, repair, or replace them as needed. * Confirm the source to line stage cables are securely in place; tighten, repair, or replace if necessary. * Make sure that the line stage or source is correctly selected by checking all switch settings.

What to do if my B&K Amplifier has no sound and the 'on' LED is not illuminated?
- J
  Jessica ReynoldsAug 16, 2025
  If your B&K Amplifier has no sound and the 'on' LED is not illuminated, consider these potential causes: 1. The power cord may not be properly plugged in; reconnect it securely. 2. There may be a power issue at the AC source; check the AC switch or fuse. 3. The AC power inlet fuse may be blown or faulty; check for shorts or overloading.

Why does my B&K Amplifier sound lack direction, and the bass is weak?
- J
  James JohnsonAug 22, 2025
  If the sound from your B&K Amplifier lacks direction and the bass is weak, it's likely that the speakers are connected out of phase. Check all connections to ensure that cables are connected (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
