nu6000s drop me like a hot potato
« on: May 10, 2014, 05:59:06 AM »

Hello once more. been long since i posted anything here.

my story
Recently i had 2 of my Berry nu6000DSP amps die 2 weeks apart. i bought the first one in Sept 2012 and the second on Jan 2013. all their life they were used on JBL MRX528 bass (i already know wat y'all are going to say about that). i am quite sure i used them within their specified ratings. the amps died one after another first one on march and another on Easter. they all just went qiuet and display went off. the fan will run for 3 seconds and off it goes.

i cannot buy QSC, my market does not pay me enough for that. all i want to know is if anyone has experienced this kind of problem with them.

All comments are appreciated. In the name of vigilance.

You might want to review this http://forum.speakerplans.com/behringer-inuke-nu6000-vs-kam-kxd7200-bench-tested_topic69202.html

Note the last part where they talk about high line current.

Should be covered by 3 year warranty, QSC/Crown have a 3 year warranty too. Peavey/Crest have a 5 year warranties.
My 6000DSP version is still working well but has very few hours on it.

I love my iNukes so far!  I hope you get them fix relatively easy.

I had a friend of mine who switched from old QSC/Crown/Peavey amps on his rig to all iNuke's.  2 for monitors, 1 for highs, 1 for mids, 2 for lows and 2 for subs.  First show he took them out on (birthday bash) half of them quit working.  Another friend of mine just bought a rack of them for his subs, so we will see how they take care of them.

No problems with mine yet.  Early iNukes had problems with a bad batch of diodes from a respected US manufacturer, and Behringer was quick to acknowledge it and offer help.  Mine were going into protect when I cranked them up into my tops at 4 ohms, but I had a lot of HF boost in the DSP, and it happened when some sharp guitar transients that were present in the audio caused the outputs to clip.  Tweaking the limiter settings solved the problem.  I recently put one on the bench and slammed it into a 4 ohm load with a scope on it.  Had no trouble getting it to full load and making the shop lights blink to the music.  Would I love to have my iTech 6000 back instead?  Absolutely.  But some low-lifes broke into my trailer and made off with my racks, so iNuke will have to do until the budget can be repaired some day.

The first one was fixed within 2 weeks. I took it to the retail store who sent it to Berry agent.  I just don't know if I can trust them again. What if the same repeats within next 12 months?

Did they give you some indication of what the problem was, or what they did to repair it?
