CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Cont.
Q7 & Q11 make up a voltage amplification stage. Again, to operate properly, the same amount of current must flow
through these transistors. Thus the voltage drop across R21 & R22 must be the same.
Adjustable bias is provided by Q8 & it's associated components. 1.2volts is provided to the Base of Driver Transistors
Q14 & Q15, and -1.2 volts is provided to the base of the Driver Transistors. This provides + or - 0.6 volts to the bases
of the output transistors (Q18-Q25) in parallel, biasing them on.
Transistors Q12, Q13, and associated components comprise the Current Limiting or Short Proof protection circuit.
There are usually two conditions which demand excessive output current from the amplifier. A shorted speaker cable,
or a load impedance which is below the minimum rating of the amplifier. If these conditions occur, the voltage drop
across the Emitter Resistors (.33
Ω 5 Watt) will dramatically increase. On the positive side of the amplifier, C11
charges through R25 & R27. On the negative side C12 charges through R31 & R32. This will cause Q12 & Q13 to turn
on. This limits the amount of signal which is available to the Base of the Driver Transistors (Q14 - Q17).
DIFFERENCES IN VERSIONS:
In all versions (SR6520/8520, SR6520P/8520P, & SR6520PD/8520PD) the power
amp remained unchanged; normal schematic revisions were not related to version changes. The "P" version added
Phantom power, which caused the preamp PCB assy to change by adding traces to carry phantom power to the XLR
microphone connectors, and added a +15V regulator circuit to the preamp PCB assy in order to provide the phantom
power. The "PD" version added digital effects (PCB assy 041875) and a ribbon cable to connect the PCB's together
(P2 to P3), along with some obvious cosmetic changes
WARRANTY PHILOSOPHY ON DIGITAL REVERB MODULE:
Replacement, rather than repair of the 041092
module is the recommended warranty procedure for failures of the module.
