Need help?Do you have a question about the PS Audio TRIO A-100 and is the answer not in the manual?
Explains how to connect the A-100's inputs to a preamplifier, surround processor, or receiver's preamp outputs.
Details balanced inputs, requiring a preamp with balanced outputs for preferred low-noise connection.
Covers RCA or single-ended inputs, common in many preamplifiers and processors, recommending quality interconnects.
Explains how to bi-amp by using one input to feed both channels for separate tweeter and woofer amplification.
Stresses the critical importance of matching polarity (plus/minus) between the amplifier and speakers for correct phase.
Guides on checking for audio signal, proper loudspeaker connection, and AC power when no sound is produced.
Emphasizes verifying a high-level signal from the source and listening for faint hiss near the tweeter.
Advises checking the rear panel input selector switch by toggling it between positions to resolve input issues.
Recommends listening for slight hiss from the tweeter to confirm output and checking speaker cable connections.
Suggests removing interconnects to isolate hiss, potentially indicating a preamp issue or need for better cables.
Identifies potential causes like ground loops, dimmers, or poor AC power for hum/buzz and suggests disconnecting inputs.
Details methods to find ground loops by disconnecting components and systematically reconnecting them.
Explains cheater plugs disconnect the ground to break ground loops, recommending trying them on components.
Advocates simplifying the system by removing inputs and reconnecting one by one to pinpoint humming culprits.
Identifies devices connected to cable TV or satellite dishes as potential sources of buzz, suggesting isolation transformers.
Reiterates caution with subwoofer high-level inputs and notes specific models may not work properly with the A-100.
Addresses amplifier shutdown during music playback, suggesting underrated power for speakers or connection issues.
