Experiencing technical difficulties? Try the following diagnostic tips...
NO POWER
•Ensure power cord is securely connected to its proper port
•AC voltage matches to that of the operating voltage requirements.
•The Rockville logo is illuminated on the front panel of the ASM5. If not, turn the power switch off
and check the fuse(s).
***NEVER USE A LARGER AMPERAGE FUSE THAN IS SPECIFIED
NO SOUND
•Check to see if all other audio devices using the same AC outlet are still operating
•Ensure that the audio source cable is plugged into both the source output and the monitor input.
• The signal source (mixer, work station, CD player, etc.) is turned up to a level that can properly
send a signal to the monitors
•
Check each monitor for sound, independently.
•
Exchange the audio input cable from the non-working monitor to the working unit. This will
determine whether it's really the monitor, a faulty cable, or some other glitch in the audio system.
•
If the monitor is still not responding, it should be returned to an authorized Rockville Dealer.
OUTPUT RANDOMLY DROPS
Your ASM5 monitor provides protection against power surges, amp overdrive, and overheating.
Turn the monitor off then wait 30 minutes to allow the back plate to cool down.
•Carefully check the amplifier’s temperature. If the monitor has been running at its highest power
output for an extended period of time, it could cause the unit to overheated and the protection
circuitry will shut the system down momentarily.
•If the monitor is still not responding, please contact the dealer you purchased it from.
POPS, HISSES, HUMS & OTHER UNWANTED NOISES
•Check the connections between the signal source and the monitor. The ASM5 uses TRS
connectors, which are completely balanced. If you’re connecting an unbalanced output to the
monitor, be sure that you’re using Pin 2 for signal and have Pin 1 and Pin 3 tied together at the
source end.
•All audio equipment should use the same ground point. Check all other devices using the same AC
output in the building such as dimmers, neon signs
, TV screens, and computer monitors. These
devices should not be using the same circuit.
