Fosi v3 Mono - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

[early rejecter]

Anybody else figure out a solution?

I keep mine in Auto on/standby which has worked well with no thump when coming out of standby.

I just got a gigantic thump when shutting down my ZA3's via the power strip, so probably has something to do with that? Also the amps and sub and sub are connected to same power strip so maybe that has something to do with it? Don't know but will have to investigate further. Never have issues with any of my McIntosh gear.

Well it’s not the amps. I’ve switched out the 48v/10a ps because when I would turn on the amp I got some kind of weird electronic noise coming from one of the amps. Replaced with each amp on a 48v/5a ps and no more noise. I also now manually just turn each off amp separately waiting a couple second for the first amp to go down and then turning off the second and they’re both perfectly quiet. I think something just doesn’t agree with them when I shut them both down simultaneously using the power strip.

I really like these V3’s a lot but I must admit that I can’t be perceive much if any difference between them and the ZA3’s(maybe a tad more muscle with the V3’s)and being able to connect my subs with the ZA3’s as opposed to having to use an adapter with the V3’s and another set of speaker wire makes the ZA3’s more appealing to me. I only just started to use subs about a month ago and wasn’t using them when I first got the ZA3’s and quite honestly forgot they had that ability when I got the V3’s.

I was getting a ‘thump’ using RCA but since switching to XLR it’s silent. YMMV

No issues for me using the Auto on/off.

What kind of pop is scaring everyone? Is it from the speakers? Mine don't “pop” but they “click” from what I assume is the relay turning them on and off. I keep mine in auto mode and there has never been any sound that was alarming to me, it’s the same “click” sound that my receiver makes when it cycles power.

Pop output to speakers.

Yes mine was more like a loud, electric sounding click. But it definitely had to do with shutting down both amps using a power strip, as opposed to turning each one off separately using their respective switches. When done this way, no more clicks, pops, or any other scary noises.
