                  FAQs

                  How to: Choose the right banana plug?
                  • Closed Screw Type. All Fosi amplifiers use standard-sized speaker terminals (4mm pins).
                  • Easy to wire up and solidly connect to amplifier and passive speaker.
                  • If they do not fit, use a little force to tighten the plugs.

                  How to Diagnose Power Supply Failure?
                  • The following situations may cause this issue
                  • Case 1: The LED on the power supply does not light up; Case 2: Amp/Preamp does not turn on; Case 3: When plugged into the Amp, both light on the amp & power supply start blinking; Case 4: Amp/Preamp make noise; Case 5: Sound shuts off by itself
                  • Possible solution
                  • Check if the power supply is illuminated when plugged into AC by itself.

                    Plug power supply into a different socket.

                    Test the adapter with a meter.

                    Try a different power supply (within a range of DC input).

                    Test the included power supply on other electrical equipment.

                  What are the differences in power outputs using the 32V and 48V power supplies?
                  • Using a more powerful power supply can help prevent distortion.
                  • Enables amplifier to drive larger, more powerful, or higher-impedance speakers.
                  What is a GaN?
                  • The GaN supply has a power output of 240W.
                  • Offers overload and over-temperature protection.
                  • The 48V 5A GaN power supply is also available on Amazon.
