Signs You Need Amplifier Repair Services

By Harriett Crosby


Amplifiers are electronic devices that are commonly used in audio equipment such as home theater systems and car sound system to amplify the amplitude of input signals that are passed through them. They are classified into three groups namely: transresistance, transconductance, voltage and current amps. Continued use of these electronic devices for a long time will cause them wear and tear gradually to the point where amplifier repair services become inevitable. Whether it is repairing or replacing you need, is determined by the extent of the problem.

As long as your amplifiers are in operation most of the time, you will be faced with some issues occasionally. This happens with any electronic devices so you should not worry about it. When this happens, it is important to try troubleshooting the issue on your own before you call in a professional technician to work on it. By so doing, you will save yourself from paying unnecessary costs.

Amps that are used in home theater systems and audio systems should be maintained and serviced regularly. This way, you will be able to identify any issue in advance before it develops into a big, costly problem. However, that does not mean that other amplifiers do not require maintenance and servicing; they too need. How you carry out preventative maintenance on your devices will go a long way into determining the functionality of your amps so it is of utmost importance.

Many failures are experienced with amplifying devices, and they include failure of the amp to respond at all. You can try fixing this problem by disconnecting all the wiring of the speakers and connecting them again. If that does not work, then the amp is faulty. In this case you need a professional advice on what should be done.

If your amp keeps turning on and off when it becomes hot, then chances are that it has a problem with gain sensitivity. You probably bought a counterfeit power transistor which is causing inadequate power sinking. If you are not sure what need to be done with such a problem, just leave it to professionals.

At times amplifiers will lower their sound when they get hot. This should not be considered as a major problem. To troubleshoot this, install a small cooling fan for the amplifier. This should be done by a professional to avoid causing more problems than you had before that would turn costly. Other problems include a burned out switch which could have resulted from overpower supply. Shorted output or driver transistors most commonly cause shorted supplies.

It is important to find out if the amp is under warranty before you start repairing it. This is important because if it is and you happen to break the warranty seal then that device ceases being under the cover of the manufacturer. It advisable to send it back to the manufacturer for the repair services.

Amplifier repair involves electrical work. As you know, electrical work involves a lot of risks and therefore you should leave this work to professionals, preferably the manufacturer. By trying doing this work on your own, you might end up causing more harm than good.
