Transistor and tube type amplifiers have much in common. It is necessary to learn only a few basic principles. 1. Being a solid
2、 state amplifier, the circuits are in operation the moment the instrument is turned on. It is important to be certain that all circuits are operating properly before applying full line voltage. If some circuits are not operating properly, it is possible to damage additional circuit components. There
3、fore, when a McIntosh MC-2505 comes in for service, NEVER JUST PLUG IT IN AND TURN IT ON. Turn the MC-2505 on/off switch on, but turn the speaker switch off. Always use a Variac or Power- stat. Plug the amplifier into the Variac, but set the Variac output to zero volts. Bring the line voltage to the
4、 amplifier up very slowly. As you do so, monitor the output voltage on each channel. This is done with a VTVM. Connect the VTVM common POWER OUTPUT PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD Set the VTVM on about a 15 volt positive DC scale. Set the needle of the VTVM to the center of the scale rather than to zero. As t
5、he line voltage to the amplifier is slowly increased, the VTVM needle will swing positive a few volts, then back past the center position, then slightly negative, then return to center position. This complete cycle will occur before the line voltage to the Page -2- amplifier reaches 30 volts. Raise
6、the line voltage from zero to 30 volts very slowly. Alternate the VTVM probe between the two channels. There may be trouble in only one channel. The channel without the trouble would give a correct indication on the VTVM. So it is necessary to monitor both channels as the amplifier is being turned o
7、n. 2. This step tells how to adjust the bias. It applies only to amplifiers bearing 10K01 through 14K84. Amplifiers bearing serial number 14K85 and up have no bias adjust ments to be made. If the amplifier has turned on with no indication of trouble, the next step is to set the bias. By means of the
8、 bias pot on the power output printed circuit board, adjust the bias for 40 millivolts. Do this for each channel. This adjustment should be made when the amplifier is cold. Make it within the first minute or so after the amplifier has been turned on. The bias will vary somewhat as the amplifier warm
9、s up. Do not re-adjust the bias. The bias adjustment is made with the VTVM connected as shown: POWER OUTPUT PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD 3. If there is trouble in one channel, you will not see the indication on the VTVM described in point 1. Stop right there. There are basically three possibilities of inco
10、rrect indication. The VTVM needle may not move at all, it may continue to swing positive, or it may continue to swing negative. Page -3- 4. Regardless of the incorrect indication, it is usually not difficult to find the source of trouble. Turn the line voltage completely off. Discharge the large fil
11、ter capacitors. Do not discharge the capacitors by shorting them directly to the chassis. Because of the arcing that will occur, the chassis will be marred. The proper way to discharge these capacitors is with a resistor. Use a resistor of at least a two watt rating whose value is approximately 5 to
12、 15 ohms. Hold it across each of the large filters. In this way the power supply will be safely discharged. Failure to discharge the power supply before working on the amplifier could cause several transistors to be destroyed. 5. After the power supply is discharged, check each tran sistor. This is
13、done quite easily with the VTVM. CAUTION: USE VTVM SUCH AS THE RCA SENIOR VOLTOHMYST. Do not use older 1,000 ohms per volt VOM. This type of instrument may destroy the transistor by introducing excessive current into the transistor. Set the VTVM to measure ohms; after the power supply is discharged,
14、 check each transistor. Set the VTVM to measure ohms? use the R x 1 scale. Measure across each junction of the transistor. Measure from base to collector, base to emitter, emitter to collector, emitter to base, collector to emitter, and collector to base. Also measure from the case of the transistor
15、 to ground, In no case should there be a direct short. In most cases, only one channel of the amplifier will be defective. Therefore, until you become familiar with the readings to expect in each case, compare the defective channel with foe good channel. Although a defective transistor will usually
16、be indicated by a direct short, this is not always the case. It is possible for a difference of only 2 or 3 ohms to indicate a defective transistor. For example, if a transistor in the defective channel reads 12 ohms from one junction to another, and the similar transistor in the good channel reads
17、10 ohms, the transistor which reads 12 ohms is probably defective. Page -4- 6. If the transistors all measure correct, check the power resistors at the emitter and collector of the output transistors. These will have a very low resistance of about .33 ohms to .56 ohms. You may find that one of these
18、 resistors has opened up. 7. On units having a bias potentiometer, always check it for continuity. Be certain that it has not opened up. 8. After replacing a defective part, always turn the amplifier on as described in point 1. Otherwise, you may damage more parts. For example, you may find a shorte
19、d output transistor. You will replace the tran sistor. If there are other defective parts, that you do not yet know about, and you turn the amplifier on directly, in all probability, you will damage the new transistor that you have just installed. 9. Before working on a solid state amplifier, ALWAYS
20、 dis charge the power supply as described in point 4. If you do not do so, and then begin probing with a soldering aid, VTVM probe, or what have you, in all probability you will damage some transistors when you accidentally short from certain places to ground; 10. If the difficulty is not located as
21、 described in points 5, 6, and 7 you may turn the amplifier partially on. Bring the line voltage up to 25 or 30 volts. This will be enough voltage to enable you to signal-trace, compare voltages between the good channel and the defective one, etc. without damaging any components. MC-2505 SOLID STATE
22、 AMPLIFIER Page -1- Although the MC2505 is rated at 50 watts (sine wave) per channel, it will normally put out at least 75 watts per channel. However, it is possible to drive the amplifier even harder than this. The following modification will improve the power output capabilities when the amplifier
23、 is loaded with a mis-matched load. It will also eliminate the possibility of any noise from the power supply being heard through the speakers when the amplifier is turned on and off. This modification pertains to amplifiers bearing serial numbers 10K01 through 11K54. Amplifiers having a higher seri
24、al number than 11K55 have been modified. It is necessary to change 2 resistors and 2 capacitors on each power output printed circuit board. A resistor is added to the board. In addition, 1 resistor is changed in the power supply and a diode and capacitor are added. Add a 3.3K resistor Change R-99 fr

There is a red/white wire connected to one side of a terminal strip at R91. R91 is now a 270 ohm, 2 watt resistor. Change this resistor to a 220 ohm, 2 watt r
