1. Typical—Measured with pink noise signal on all channels at 1/8 of full average power. Producing peaks that occasionally reach the amp’s clipping point, this level approximates the maximum operating
level before clipping affects sound quality. These data would be the amp’s typical worst-case current.
2. Full—Measured with pink noise signal on all channels at 1/3 of full average power. Music at this level would typically produce massive clipping. In a class B amplifier, this would be the approximate
point of maximum heat production.
3. Max—Measured with continuous sine wave signal on all channels at a point of slight clipping (1% THD). This represents a “test bench” scenario and does not resemble any real-world usage.

1. Introduction
1.1 Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
Since April 2006, all RMX Series amplifiers are manufactured to conform to the European Union’s RoHS Directive, which reduces the
amount of hazardous substances allowed in products for sale within its member nations. In electronic equipment such as audio power
amplifiers, this applies primarily to certain toxic heavy metals, such as lead, which may be present in electronic components, solder, and
other parts.

RoHS-compliant materials
When servicing RoHS-compliant amplifiers, it is important for the service technician to use only RoHS-compliant components and solder
(lead-free). All replacement parts provided by QSC for RoHS-compliant products are certified as RoHS compliant.

RoHS-compliant tools
Soldering irons and desoldering apparatus used on RoHS-compliant products must also not be contaminated by hazardous substances,
such as lead. Therefore, you cannot use the same soldering and desoldering tools for RoHS-compliant products and solder as you do for
non-compliant products and solder. You must either use separate soldering irons, desoldering tools and braid, etc., or at the very least
designate separate tips and braids and use only the appropriate ones. If you contaminate a tip or braid, even inadvertently, by using it on
a non-compliant product or solder, you should no longer use it with RoHS-compliant products or solder.

1.2 QSC serial numbers


Serial numbers on QSC RMX series amplifiers are nine digits long. The first
four digits are a manufacturing date code in mmyy format; the last five digits
are the sequential identifying number for each individual amplifier. For
example, a serial number of 0807xxxxx would indicate that the amplifier was
built in 08/2007, or August 2007. The date code is important for determining
whether an amplifier is subject to a service bulletin, covered by a warranty (in
the absence of original purchase records), etc.
The amplifier’s serial number can be found on a label on the rear panel. The
label also indicates the model number, power rating, 4Ω current draw, and the
AC mains voltage the amplifier was made for.
Certain design changes that the RMX amplifiers have undergone commenced
with a particular date code; for example, the RMX amplifiers with a date code Figure 1.1. The label displays two vital pieces of

nated with lead or other heavy metals covered by the directive.

1.3 Service bulletins


Contact QSC Technical Services to make sure you have the most up-to-date service bulletins for RMX Series amplifiers. Service bulletins
may be distributed in hard copy, via fax, and electronically (Adobe Acrobat PDF) via CD-ROMs, FTP from the QSC web site
(www.qscaudio.com), and e-mail.
These service bulletins had been issued at the time this manual was printed:
• RMX0001, “Q205 Lead Stress” (RMX2450 only)
• RMX0002, “RMX Turn-on Delay” (all RMX models)

Automated test equipment, such as an Audio Precision workstation, is very useful for servicing RMX amplifiers. Contact QSC Technical
Services to obtain applicable AP test files.

1.5 Working with surface-mount components


RMX amplifiers, like many modern electronic products, use surface-mount technology (SMT) components
where appropriate in order to make high-density circuitry that is reliable and economical to manufacture.
SMT components in the RMX amps are used in the small-signal and control circuits, so they do not handle
significant amounts of power; therefore, they are subject to very little stress and should seldom fail.
Sometimes they do fail, or they require replacement for a performance upgrade or modification. Thus, it is
Figure 1.3. important to know how to work with SMT components.
Specialized tools and equipment exist for soldering, unsoldering, and removing SMT components quickly
and efficiently, but they are often expensive. Most SMT repairs, though, can be handled reasonably well with
common tools and equipment, such as tweezers, solder braid, and fine-tip soldering irons. The original
Solder braid
factory components are tacked to the board with a spot of glue, so you might have to apply some force to
break the adhesive.

Figure 1.4. Two-terminal components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc.)


Removal
1 Use two soldering irons, preferably about 25 to 40 watts, with fine tips.
2 With a soldering iron in each hand, hold one tip on the solder at one end of the component and the
Solder other tip on the other end (Figure 1.3).
3 Once the solder melts on both ends, grip the component between the two tips and lift it from the
circuit board.
Figure 1.5. 4 Use solder braid and a soldering iron to remove the solder from the two pads (Figure 1.4).

Solder component in place.
4 Fully solder the other end of the component to its pad. Let the solder harden (Figure 1.7).
5 Fully solder the tacked end of the component to its pad (Figure 1.8).

Three-terminal components (transistors, etc.)


Solder
Removal
1 With a soldering iron and solder braid, remove as much solder as possible from the middle terminal of
the component.
Figure 1.8. 2 With a soldering iron in each hand, hold one tip on the solder at the terminal at one end of the
component and the other tip on the terminal at the other end.
3 When the solder on both ends melts, grip the component between the two tips and lift it from the circuit board. You might need to
quickly touch the pad on the middle terminal with a soldering iron to melt any remaining solder that might be holding the component
down.
4 Use solder braid and a soldering iron to remove the solder from the three pads.
Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and appropriate solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small mound of solder.
2 Grasp the component with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and place the component in the correct orientation
across the three pads and press it flat against the circuit board, with one terminal of the component pressed into the melted solder.
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the component in place.
4 Fully solder the other terminals of the component to their pads. Let the solder harden.
5 Fully solder the tacked terminal of the component to its pad.

Multi-pin components (ICs, etc.)


Removal
Removing a multi-pin SMT component is a delicate procedure. Ideally, you should use a soldering iron with an attachment that allows you
to heat all the pins simultaneously.
If such a soldering device is not available, use this procedure:
1 Use a soldering iron and solder braid to remove as much solder as possible from the pins of the component.
2 With fine tweezers, carefully try to lift each pin to see if it’s free. If it’s not, touch it with the tip of the soldering iron and if necessary,
use the solder braid to remove the remaining solder.
3 Repeat the process until all the pins are free and you can remove the component.
Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and appropriate solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small mound of solder. It is usually
easiest to use a pad that corresponds to one of the end or corner pins of the component.
2 Grasp the component with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and place the component in the correct orientation
upon its pads and gently press it flat against the circuit board, with the appropriate terminal of the component pressed into the
melted solder.
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the component in place.
4 Fully solder the other terminals of the component to their pads. Let the solder harden.
5 Fully solder the tacked terminal of the component to its pad.

3. Troubleshooting: Symptoms, causes, & remedies
When first checking the operation of an amplifier on the bench, always turn your variable transformer down to zero before plugging the
amplifier in. After you turn the amplifier on, gradually turn up the AC voltage as you observe the amplifier’s behavior and its current
draw; this will help you determine what, if anything, is wrong with it. If you see or smell smoke, flames, or any other signs of short
circuits or excessive current draw, quickly turn the AC back down to zero. If no such problems occur, it is usually safe to turn the AC up to
the amplifier’s full operating voltage for further testing.

• The amplifier quickly gets very hot 25 to 33% of the amplifier’s full AC operating voltage)
• Line circuit breakers trip at turn-on
• The amplifier hums loudly and the chassis vibrates One or more reservoir capacitors is reversed. CAUTION: the gas
• The amplifier emits smoke buildup in a reversed electrolytic capacitor can cause it
• The amplifier gives off a burning smell to vent explosively. Immediately turn off power and let the
capacitor cool down before replacing it.
If the symptoms indicate a possible problem in the channel circuits
or output sections, you can isolate either channel module from the
power supply by pulling its fuses from the AC board.

Possible situations:
Excessive current with no signal present
If the amplifier seems to run hot and draws higher-than-normal
current when idling at full AC voltage, the cause could be bias
