The speaker had issues with drifting sound and a loss of stereo image after 7 years of heavy use. Upon inspection, the technician found a bad 10000uF capacitor and a shorted 10nF ceramic capacitor on the -45V power rail, which likely caused the fuse to burn out. These failures mainly affected the tweeter. The circuit board was found to be well-built and maintainable. In this case, the relays were making a good connection, but the XLR input socket could use replacing. The technician was unable to access the service manual and schematics from the provided link.

Lots of information on the internet for bad relays but nothing
more. Speakers have been on heavy use for 7 years. Good stereo picture was lost and it was constantly drifting from side to side.
My findings on both speakers:
Bad 10000uF cap on the -45V side of the power rail. Shorted C59 10nF ceramic cap on the -45V power rail. Burned fuse, probably was caused by the shorted cap.
These failures affect mostly the tweeter.
PCB itself is pretty well built and good to maintain.
In my case the Relays are making good connection.
XLR input socket is not the greatest and probably needs to be
changed.
I got the schematics with service manual from here:
Bump, I really would like to have those Schematics but i dont
have any luck on the link provided, the links seemed dead. Any hint anyone? Share Reply Quote
