Re: 1290 Build Thread

Something is shorting and overloading the SMPS power supply so it is in hiccup protect mode. If using s TREX or any power supply etc check you have 24v going to the 1290 module. I'm using the power supply that came with the kit ... It wouldn't be an issue with the kettle lead would it ? Change of f...

Re: 1290 Build Thread

......I have a new problem with my 1290. The output transformer seems to be making a clicking noise.....and the leds are flashing on and off in time tiht the output transformer clicks. I think it is probably a power thing as I have tried swapping everything round and the click follows the main gain...

Re: 1290 Build Thread

….just an additional thought….

Re: 1290 Build Thread

Check the audio level at the output pots between outside pins with pot pulled out full CW and a AC meter and a 500Hz or 1khz tone. If the voltages are different then it is the preamp section. If they are the same it is the output amp and / or transformer. Hi. Ok, so just to be sure we are on the sa...

Not sure what 820R cap you mean as 820R would normally be a resistor? Hi! The db difference is consistentl...
