Troubleshooting/QA
1: What type of speakers work best with BL20C Amplifier?****
• Fosi Audio BL20C amplifier work great with any 4-8 ohm passive speakers. But please be attention that the amplifier is for passive speakers and a active subwoofer, not for active speakers.
2: Can I connect a turntable to BL20C amp, why is the volume is extremely Low?****
• As for the turntables do not have a built-in preamp, if not connect to a
phono preamp first, the volume would be low.
• As for the turntables which have a built-in preamp, you can connect directly
to the BL20C with the turntable.
3: Why does the sound is cracking or make a lot of electric noise?****
• Please make sure all the cables completely pushed into the devices,
incompletely connection will cause this cracking.
• Please remove all the inputs then check whether cracking noise disappear or
not, the cracking maybe from the audio source or input cables.
• If you are not using the original factory standard power supply, please
replace the power supply before testing. Many power supply in the market have
large interference coefficient, which will cause a lot of current sound.
