Emotiva Gen 2 XPA-2 User Manual - Is Lit Blue.

Problem: No sound is heard (in Bridged Mode), or undistorted sound is heard, 

but with little or no bass; the Standby button halo is lit blue; the status LED  

is lit blue.

Reason: The XPA-2 is improperly configured, you have your source connected to the wrong input for Bridged 

Mode, or your speaker is hooked up incorrectly for Bridged Mode.

•  Check your source, and ensure that your source is connected to the LEFT input.

•  Check your speaker connections; verify that your speaker is connected correctly for Bridged Mode 

[between the Left (+) Plus and Right (+) Plus Speaker Terminals].

•  Verify that the Stereo / Bridged Mode switch is set to Bridged Mode.

Problem: No sound is heard; one or more Status LEDs and/or the Meter LEDs for 

one channel are flashing red.

Reason: The XPA-2 is in Protect mode, which indicates a fault condition.

•  Switch the rear panel AC Power switch Off and On to clear the Fault condition.

•  If the fault remains, look for a shorted speaker cable or damaged speaker.

•  Check your sources and source connections (a bad interconnect, DC on the input, or an otherwise bad 

source component can cause a fault).

Problem: The halo around the Standby button is lit amber and the XPA-2 fails to 

come on when triggered.

Reason: The XPA-2 is in Standby mode and should respond to a valid trigger signal.

•  Check your trigger cable.

•  Check the trigger settings on your source equipment.
