Product Specifications
Small but mighty! Fosi Audio M04 is a 100w mono-channel class D subwoofer amplifier, with a SUB/PBTL switch you can select a subwoofer bass amplifier or full frequency mono amp, which can be connected to an active/passive subwoofer and passive speaker. The power switch was integrated into volume control, we made it small but supply an in-wall or stand-alone subwoofer the power it needed so you can experience room-shaking low-frequency impact (bass) on movies and music soundtracks.

Troubleshooting/QA
-
Q: All cables are connected, but no sound output?
-
A: 1. Check if the POWER indicator is on, and turn the VOL knob clockwise to turn on the POWER if it is not. When the indicator light is still not on, you can find a laptop power and connect to test whether it is the machine fault or a power failure;
- If the indicator light is on, check whether the VOL knob is in the minimum position. If so, turn clockwise to normal Volume;
- If both of the above are normal, check the input device if it is paused, mute, or the volume is minimized.
-
Q: Why do loudspeakers make a lot of electric noise?
-
A: If you are not using the original factory standard power supply, please replace the power supply before testing. Many power supplies in the market have large interference coefficients, which will cause a lot of current sounds.
-
Q: Why doesn’t the SUB FREQ knob control the sound?
-
A: The SUB FREQ knob is to adjust the frequency output of the subwoofer, please make sure the SUB/PBTL switch on the front panel is selected to SUB.
-
Q: Why does the sound break?
-
when the output power exceeds the normal power of the amplifier, there will be a large distortion. you can turn down the front volume or the power amplifier volume, then it is ok.
-
Q: When connecting RCA line input but not playing music, why does it have interferential sound?
-
If you use unshielded signal lines, there will be interference signals entering the power amplifier. If you hate the sound, you are advised to use the shielded signal lines or unplug the signal lines.
-
Q: Why does the amplifier stop working after a period of time? After a period of time off, it was working again
-
A: Usually, in this case, the amplifier is overheating protection, and the output power may have exceeded the designed power, so you can lower the volume a little and try again.
-
Q: Why does the volume of the machine stay the same, while the sound of different audio sources (such as CDS and mobile phones) is different?
-
A: The output range of different types of audio source devices is different, the mobile phone is usually 0.35mV, and the CD is 1V.
The signal output amplitude of the sound source will directly influence the volume. -
Q: Can this amp be left on all the time?
-
A: It can be connected all the time and it is safe without power consumption.
-
Q: Why the sound of the power amplifier is not very good at the beginning, the high frequency is not clear, but after working for 8 hours the sound is normal?
-
Speaker and amplifier is very sensitive equipment, also need to know each other, and the matching process, usually the sound will be good after the new power amplifier and the speaker work more than ten hours.
