Hi,

I received this desk in bits, literally, in a huge bag and have slowly
been
rebuilding it.
There were a number of different revision boards probably from other
studiomaster desks in the bag also.

The modules I,ve used in the desk are as follows

Control/graphics R1A8 - 2

Power amps R1A5 - 4

Aux board R1A9 - 1

PSU R1A1 - 4

Insert pcb R1A3 - 4


The problem I have is no sound from the power amps.

I have traced the l&r signals from the "Amp" volume
control on the Aux board
to CONN 2 (14W) pins 9 and 10 which then goes
via ribbon cable to the control/graphics board CONN 6 pins 9&10
labeled as
*AMP-L* and *AMP-R*.

According to the many studiomaster schematics I managed to find the
signal
then leaves the control/gfx board via CONN 2
a 14 WAY to the insert board and PSU board for splitting to the power
amps.

Thing is, CONN 2 on the c/g board is 16 WAY, it has to be as the
connectors
on
the insert board and psu are also 16 WAY and here lies the problem.

The power amps are expecting the I/P on their CONN 1's pins 9&10 (
IN- ,
IN+
) Not AMP-L ( or AMP-R )!!!

I was thinking the c/g board was the wrong revision. The only schematics
I
have for the C/G board are for R8C8B-3.

Any ideas folks?

thank you,

Night...

One more try.

Doesn't the Aux board on the top panel (carrying the L/R from the Amp
volume
control) connect straight to the Insert PCB, NOT the FX board?
And doesn't the FX board connect to both the top panel and the MIDI
board so
it can send and return signals to the mixer section, and be controlled
via
MIDI?

FYI, the "Control/Graphics" board is the top panel board with all the graphic
eq sliders on it, the board with the display on it is called the "Display
proccesor"...
