    What to do if my B&K Reference 220M channel sounds distorted and low in output?

      Travis LopezAug 8, 2025
      If a channel sounds distorted and has low output, the rail fuse inside the amplifier may have blown. Replace the blown rail fuse inside the amplifier.

    Why does my B&K Amplifier sound lack direction and have weak bass?
    • N
      Nicholas HallAug 13, 2025
      If the sound lacks direction and the bass is weak, it could be that the speakers are connected out of phase. Check the connections to ensure that cables are connected (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).

    Why is the output from my B&K Reference 220M so low?
    • C
      Carolyn RodriguezAug 18, 2025
      If the output from the amplifier is low, check the balanced switch position. If you are using unbalanced inputs, ensure the balanced switch is not in balanced mode. Put balanced switch in correct position.
