JBL EON 515XT *repair cancelled*

Post by xtian »

Sorry for the solid state question, but http://music-electronics-forum.com/t41227/ has been down lately.

This JBL amp has an internal crossover and two amp sections for HF and LF drivers. The HF channel works fine, but the LF channel does not. Speakers are OK. Since I have two units, I was able to confirm the preamp board is OK. The issue is in the power amp board.

Good schematics available. Please see attached Power amp schematic. 100Hz signal passes and looks good at TP350, which is on page 4, coordinates B2. This is the blue trace on my scope. But immediately after R331, at pin 2 of U305, the signal looks like crap. This is the yellow trace.

Suggestions on how to further subdivide and conquer?

I'd say its a transistor problem (going by the scope)

Whelp, owner pulled the plug on the repair, and we're just going to replace the board with a new one from fullcompass.
