What to do if the PROTECT LED stays lit on my HQ Power amplifier?
- TTimothy StephensAug 10, 2025
If the PROTECT LED on your HQ Power amplifier is lit, it could be due to several reasons: * The inputs are receiving DC voltage. * Overheating because of a clogged fan grille. * The impedance of the speakers is too low. * A short circuit in the speaker connection or the speaker itself. * A technical fault with the amplifier. In the case of DC voltage input or a technical default, switch the amplifier off and have it checked by a service technician. If it's due to a clogged fan grille, clean the grille. For low speaker impedance, connect other speakers. If there's a short circuit, check the speakers.
