Fried PA.....

[TheRev]

Our Beringher mixer amp died in the middle of a gig last night. No sound coming out the front and all the signal/level LEDs are slowly pulsing (not in response to an input signal, just pulsing on their own).
I've tried different power leads and plug sockets and everything else I can think of but it's definitley borked.
Anyone got any idea what the problem might be - other than it's being a Beringher.....

Sorry but it doesn't matter.
It's over with that mixer,for the cost of the repair you are definitely better off replacing rather than repairing.

Have you at least tried PFLing any channels on headphones and checking the signal path?
Sounds like a power stage problem to me, but you wont know till you check the signal path at least.

Decide how much you need to spend to replace it and then decide whether you like the desk enough to
get it repaired.
A good tech will probably have to have access to modular parts but then this type will probably share
parts with Peavey and Mackie to name a few...so they should be available...or he will be able to tell you easily enough
and then that might make the decision for you..??

Where are you? I have a battered old Peavey you can borrow for as long as you need if you wanted to pick it up.

Thanks for the offer, but we've managed to borrow a PA for the next few months.

I haven't tried anything other than the main inputs and levels. We're going to email Thomann and see if they'll take it back as its less than 2 years old.

Thomann offer a 2 or 3 year warranty from memory so should be good for a return/replacement....
