Does seem very strange it cut & went into protect, did the top red lights go out or dim before this happened?
Also i did see the amp in question didnt have any filters, the can cause problems tweets.

Don't go buy a new amp just yet! (unless you wanna sell me your 5000 for a good deal)
A service would probably eliminate your problems... |

sure lev tell you this already inefficient amp plus 4x inefficent driver on 13a/ring main supply must end inna disaster no point have turbomax 1500 if most place you play have only regular 13amp socket not every building have good wiring to allow pulling > 13a without voltage drop meanwhile man with 4x 1850 or void on nuff diffrent amp can blaze the place while you ah blow driver cos amp start clip early due to mains |

Yes YoungBlood, I like your experience my brotha............!!! Most on here still haven't learned that concept!! 90% of indoor venues in the UK has 13amp, but people continue to design & build sounds to play off 32amp Douh!!........................... Then they blow a high wattage speaker & say, Oh I had toooooooooo much power!!! Little do they know that a 100 watt clip signal blew the speaker!! Oh I miss them days of nativity...................... LoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL Peace..................................... |

That's nonsense, most decent sized venues designed for music/AV/conference work in the UK will have a decent power supply. This includes clubs, hotels, warehouse spaces,etc. Sometimes they will not have a suitable ceeform outlet but in these cases most are happy for you to wire into an outlet on their consumer unit or fuse board. Places like community centres and pubs often have inadequate wiring but this is because they do not need sound or lighting systems which require a big power supply.

In the last 3 years I haven't once had to use a 13a socket. Whenever I'm unsure what I'll find I take 50m of 16mm cable and a 63a to tails cable so that I can make my own supply from the incomers. This way I know the cable from the inlet to my amps is adequately rated and that the supply I'm using is protected for overcurrent and earth leakage. When you take power from 13a socket on the wall you don't know whether a 'handyman' has just run a bit of 1.5mm T+E from the lighting circuit or whether a proper electrician has done a 32a ring from a modern fuse board.

Ok I'm not being politically correct now, but your talking out your arse!! do you want me to carry you to venues/centres/clubs where big sounds have been with no 32amp supply, listen don't get me started, check my signature below, 27 years in & around reggae sounds!! you'll soon realize my experience on Sunday!! I do believe your sound is there?? I'll show you what efficiency with experience feels like............................. Now this is sound boy talk, & I'm not taking it back!!! u get mi???? |
