Sorry to hijack this thread, but as the owner of an XS1200, I am curious as to people's opinion on the reliability of this amp. Is this PIC controller problem a known fault? Any advice on how to keep this amp reliable would be gratefully appreciated.

Failure of the PIC controller is fairly uncommon. I've only seen one myself on an original Pulse.
Biggest tips for keeping any amp reliable are keep them clean and dry and don't drive them hard into low impedance loads. Although the Pulses/XS Series are rated for 2Ohm operation, I wouldn't. They are best suited for mid-top applications which they sound very good on.

In my case the pic falure cased by 5v supply. A bc546 sorted and pass 30v to pic.
xc900 and xs1200 is exactly the same exept some smaller power supply capasitors. Can i use this Hex? xc1200 and pulse use the same Hex? I mast be sure. thanks

you'll need the firmware version, it'll be printed on the label on the micro.

Hi,
PIC's info marked on them is as follows:-- Crown XS1200 = REV.:1.09 (CS.: 8778). C-Audio Pulse 4 X 300 = (RX5066 V1.06). I think (correct me if i am wrong) but software RX5066V106 is for the 4 channel amps & RX5066V107 is for the 2 channel amps. Hope this info helps. |

I have loads of Pulses and a fair few XS1200's and 700's all mine are fairly reliable and sound great on wedges.
