Problem Solution
The sound is too loud or distorted.
• Turn down the volume control of your input device.
• Turn down the input gain level of the channel that’s distorting.
• Turn down the main level.
There is audible noise or hum.
• Turn the main level all the way down. If the noise or hum disappears, the
problem is with one of the input devices.
• Make sure cables from your input devices are not running near AC or lighting
cables or other devices that can create interference.
• You may be experiencing a 60 Hz hum (ground loop). Try inserting a hum
eliminator in the signal path before it reaches the input of the PA-5150.
Or use an AC hum eliminator on the power cable of the input device that’s
creating the hum.
• If you’re using a direct box, press the ground-lift button.
