your amplifier level controls. NOTE: Your

level which causes the Clip LED to flash
constantly.

Switch is set incorrectly. Check both.

Note: If sound is distorted but clip LED is not
flashing, check mixer levels and gain staging,
mixer clip lights, and pads built into micro-
phones.

The amplifier has just been turned on and

is still in the 4-second turn-on delay.
