3B SST won't Turn On?
« on: 16 Jul 2014, 01:19 am »
I can't get my 3B SST to power up. Was using it for my center channel, but wasn't using center channel for awhile so I turned it off, front switch. Now I want to use the amp again and it won't power up. I want it to turn on when I turn the power conditioner on, but can't get it to power up any way.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? :?

Hi Mag

Unplug it from the wall or power conditioner - then make sure the circuit breaker on the back of the amp is in the ON position - then plug it back into the power - then turn on front switch

No go. I wonder maybe I wrecked something when I inserted the wrong power cord instead of the slotted one? I checked the fuse and it looks good to me.

Still using the 3B ST for my 100's but wanted the extra power of the SST.

Email Mike Pickett tomorrow and he may be able to help.

Do you have a trigger hooked up? If so make sure your settings haven't accidently been switched from remote to manual. Even if you do use a trigger it might not be a bad idea to switch it over to manual and try turning it on that way, just to give both ways a try. I use remote power triggers and when the power goes out from a storm when the gear is in use the amps don't come back on on their own when I power everything up again. I always have to press the front power switches to get them to fire up that initial time.

Good input Rod - thanks.
