6.1 On LED Flashing Sequences
When switching on the amp the On LEDs ash twice accompanied by a ash of
Clip LEDs. This is normal for the ‘Start’ sequence of the VORTEX.
When switching off the amp the On LEDs ash several times followed by a
ash of Clip LEDs. This is normal for the ‘Shut Down’ sequence of the VORTEX.
(It is the same as the loss of the mains voltage.)
In the following table you will nd the possible LED sequences of the On LEDs:
