  If your WattBox isn't getting power, and the System Status LED isn't lit, there are a few things to check: * First, make sure the WattBox is turned on by pressing the power button. If the button doesn't show amber, press it. * Second, confirm that the AC power plug is properly plugged into a grounded 120V wall outlet. Ensure the outlet isn't controlled by a wall switch; try flipping nearby switches. Also, check the circuit breakers. * Finally, if too many devices are connected, it may cause an overload. Press the circuit breaker reset button and wait 10 minutes before trying again. If it continues to trip, move some devices to another WattBox.

Why do speakers emit a humming or buzzing noise from WattBox WB-800VPS-IPVM-12?
- A
  Alexander BrownAug 23, 2025
  If your speakers are emitting a humming or buzzing noise when connected to the WattBox, it could be due to: * The Wattbox sharing AC power with equipment that isn't properly grounded. Try connecting the Wattbox to a dedicated outlet. You can also unplug components one at a time to see if the noise stops. * The speakers sharing a filter with noisy gear. Move the power cords for the speakers (or the noisy components) to a different outlet filter bank.
