XPA-1L

Troubleshooting

The XPA-1L is carefully designed and manufactured from high-quality precision components 

to ensure years of trouble free operation. We really doubt you’ll ever have any problems 

with your XPA-1L but, if you do, here are a few things you could try:

Problem: No output (nothing is lit).

Reason: You have no AC power.

•  Verify that the rear panel AC Power switch is On.

•  Verify that your circuit is live.

•  Verify that the line cord on the XPA-1L is fully inserted and is tight.

Problem: The XPA-1L is operating normally, but the front panel status LED 

is not lit.

Reason: The front panel status LED is turned off.

•  Set the Status LED switch on the rear panel to On.

Problem: No sound or distorted sound is heard; the Standby button halo is 

lit blue; the status LED is lit blue.

Reason: The XPA-1L is not indicating a Fault condition.

•  Check your source.

•  Check your speakers and speaker connections.

Problem: No sound is heard; the status LED is flashing red.

Reason: The XPA-1L 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-1L 

fails to come on when triggered.

Reason: The XPA-1L is in Standby mode and should respond to a valid trigger signal.

•  Check your trigger cable.

•  Check the trigger settings on your source equipment.
