My turbo sound active speakers continue to fail.
« on: September 10, 2022, 03:15:08 AM »

Hello. I work at Gertie’s, the casino in Dawson City, Yukon Canada. We’ve had a Turbosound PA installed for about six years. This year we had a brand new, beautiful lighting rig professionally installed. However in the last five months our turbosound tops have succumb to the same problem multiple times. I have a basic level of electronic repair understanding and have done the visually obvious repair a few times.Something is burning out the same transformer solder points on the AC side. I’ve attached pictures and I’m looking for insight. This is happening too often to be a coincidence.

Maybe the trace is not large enough to handle the current?

Have to jumper the trace with a piece of wire?

Have you checked your supply voltage?  A lower supply voltage results in higher current draw as the power supply compensates and sometimes that will push gear beyond its capabilities and cause premature failure.

This is a common class D amp failure situation (if these are class D amps). The compensation for voltage sags is slow to normalize as voltage returns, resulting in overvoltage situations not designed-in. Class D's are a work-in-progress, but the wiser manufacturers have made great adjustments as fresh data emerges.

Out of curiosity, which Turbosound speakers? They don't appear to be Milan, iQ or iX (looking at the flown speakers in the photo).
