Title: Crown XLS1000 Power Supply
Post by: Steve Hetherington on October 22, 2012, 03:25:00 AM
Hi

I have recently been given two Crown XLS1000 amps from a friend who got bought them from America to New Zealand. The problem being, New Zealand used 250v ac power not 120V. Is there anything I can do to get these to run? can the power supply be changed in them?

Thanks in advance
Steve

Dunno if this would be covered in the change over but from memory you'd also have to adjust the cycles - NZ/Aus are 50 hz whereas the US is 60.

Remove jumper Z901, and change R927 to 100k and you're good to go.
(Dunno if this posting will survive - my last one got stomped after 2 hrs)

Just noticed another difference - fit 4x 82k resistors in R905,906,951,952 positions
(these are open in the 120volt version)
