IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AUDIOPRO AP-3000 SERVICE MANUAL M1012 “THE INPUT BOARD” The input board processes the audio signal from the input jacks to the voltage amplifier board, (M1011). Each channel consists of a balanced gain stage, defeatable bass boost filter, and a preemphasis filter network. INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVES AU RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR...

SHUTDOWN CIRCUIT: The audio signal on the output of U1 enters U3 through R43 and RV1. Under normal operating conditions the gain of The last circuit on board M1011 is the shutdown relay and its associated drive circuitry. The relay circuit has two U3 is 1(0dB).

QUIESCENT CONDITION: This design is class A/B and therefore the output driver transistors must be forward biased to provide low crossover distortion. In most class A/B designs, a diode chain or VBE multiplier is used to control the bias voltage and provide a means of adjusting the bias.

The voltage between the amplifier?s output and test point 4 is approximately 14.7VDC derived from the voltage drop across ZD3 @ ZD4. We call this voltage the “floating battery” because it floats on top of the output audio signal with point 4 always being 14.7VDC greater than the peak of the output signal.

EMS Circuit Identifying Defective Boards in the AP-3000 The Energy Management System circuit only applies to North American line voltage products. A North American AC STEP 1: VISUAL INSPECTION OF FRONT PANEL AND FAN receptacle can provide 1850 watts before the wall breaker would trip, but how can a amplifier provide 2 x 1200 watts out when only 1850 watts is avaliable out of the AC receptacle? A sinewave source connected to the amplifier driving A.
• All values are rounded down to the nearest 25 watts Molex connector parts are available or order them from the Yorkville Service Parts Dept. With the test connectors connected to every board, slowly variac up the line AC voltage.
