    Need help with Audio Dynamics B-200 power amp

    Hello all, I just got a this power amp for free, I plugged it in, and all it does is click and flash the power indicator light. The power display still lights up, I opened the case and the clicking is coming from the 4 relays behind the speaker connections, any ideas on how to fix?

    How long did you allow for it to stop the clicking and turn on? I ask because some amps have a sequence once first turned on, especially when fully powered down. You might also try on internet search to see if you can find the owner manual.

    If you let it go for a few minutes and the amp doesn't stop cycling it sounds like a tech issue.

    I turned it on, clicked a couple of times, and now it seems to be working fine, although I don't get the point of the power display on it

    I'm not really familiar with your amp, I just knew that some amps have a turn on sequence they go through when the main power button is first turned on.

    If you haven't, do an internet search for your model amp, you may turn up a owner manual or review. Sometimes reviews are a wealth of information like you are looking for.

    You are correct and looks like it can be 2, 3 or 4 channel amp.
