studiomaster powerhouse 708
I turned up at gig, early for once! and set up only to find only one
speaker working, I did all the obvious swap leads change channel etc... but it seems obvious that the left side of the amp has blown. It couldn't have happened at a better venue as they lent me a power amp which I used as a slave cos everything else on the mixer works. I've been in the case to see if any obvious fuses were blown but no luck. would it be the output transistors? how can I test this? I have a digital multimeter, but I'm really stuffed this weekend as I have to find a slave amp. Do you think it's worth fixing? it is a bit of a lump to hump around if going to use it as a basic mixer and take a slave amp to. Please help............ |

There is a good cahnce that there is a major burnup in the power amps. I would consider the unit a liability. If you choose to use as a mixer and cart a separate power amp around or not is up to you. geoff |

thanks, there's no visual signs on the output trannies, is there an
easy way to test them with a meter? |

If you get absolutely No Voltage it's a burned lead or fuze. If you get some pidly voltage it could be a bad transistor. |

thanks i've replaced a fuse which was blown but channel still doesn't work Test for continuity from the fuse on as far as you can on the PCB (board) because sometimes an eched run can burn out as quickly as the fuse. |
