Product Question
-
Q: 1. Amplifier board has current sound and noise？
A: Most of our amplifier boards use a DC power supply. The board itself does not produce current sound and noise.
The main causes of current acoustic noise are:- A. The power supply filter used is not good;the current sound is caused by wrong input by the power or audio input.
- B. The input signal quality is poor; the output of the device connected to the input is improper and the noise is caused by the abnormal input of the audio source.
- C. The input cable is of poor quality:the line is in poor connection;the wiring is damaged the wiring is suspended
- D. The input connection has other playback devices,and some devices share the power supply to cause noise
-
Q: 2. No sound output no sound in 1 channel？
A: A.The speaker is broken. or the speaker cable is not connect well.
The input cable is not in good connection;the wiring is damaged; the output of the device connected to the input is improper -
Q: 3. Volume broken and breaking sound when turn loud?
- A. The power input is insufficient the wiring is correct firstand the supply current is sufficient,
- B. The speaker itself has poor performance or damage and the speaker power is toc small or too large.
- C. left and right channel speakers(+)(-) output are independent can not be connected to each other
-
Q: 4. Speaker broken sound when subwoofer amplifier volume turns loud?
- A: A.The nower innut is insufficient. first confirm the wirinn is correct. the sunnly current is enough
- B.Whether the power of the speaker itself is too large or too smallor the bass performance of the speak itself is poor: the structure of the speaker box these abnormalities will cause breaks
-
Q: 5. The volume power is not enough?
A: Power and power supply voltage. the amplitude of the sound source sianal the size of the speaker impedance are all related kind of deficiency will affect the power -
Q: 6. Will the amplifier be burnt?
- A. The positive and negative poles of the power supply are connected reversely; the power supply voltage is too high, exceeding the limit operating voltage of the board
- B. If the board requires a DC power supply, it is not allowed to connect directly the AC transformer power supply (this can be rectified and converted to DC power before it can be used)
- C. To confirm that the wiring is correct,then connect with the power supply. The wrong line connected or the short circuit both will cause damage to key parts!
