AMIS250 Circuit Description The AMIS250 mixer amplifier is designed for commercial installations. It operates on [230/240 VAC, 50Hz] (240V version)/[115VAC, 60Hz] (115V version) and may be desk or rack mounted (rack mount kit supplied). The AMIS250 delivers 250 watts into a load of 4 ohms, [70 or 100 volt line] (240V version)/ [25 or 70 volt line] (115V version).

A particularly good aspect of this amplifier is the current limiting circuit. The sensing circuit is a standard rail load line limiting circuit but it is the drive circuit that is important. As transistors V12 & V6 (BC640) turn on transistor V11 (BC639), it pulls bias current away from the amp through diodes D1 & D4 (BAV21) and pulls drive away from the op amp IC1 (LM1458) through the diode/resistor pair D2/R12 (BAV21/3k3) &...
Phantom Power This button enables or disables the 15 volts DC phantom power to all microphone inputs XLR’s. Do not plug an unbalanced microphone in any amplifier or mixer when phantom power is switched on. The phantom voltage is connected through 4k7 1/4W resistors. The maximum current draw available per microphone is approximately 3mA.

Four separate tones are available from the in-built tone generator board. All four tones can be activated individually via a contact closure connected to the screw terminals on the rear of the amplifier. When any tone is activated, all inputs (except for inputs 1 and 2) will automatically mute. The level of the tone generator is controlled by the pot labeled R6 (located behind the Bass adjustment pot).

TEST PROCEDURE MODEL - AMIS 250 (US) 1. Perform physical inspection (Visual Inspection stage). 1.1 Check: • All screws for tightness (esp. bridge rectifier and transistor bolts), • Earth connection for good contact (XLR GND to AC earth), • All wiring points for good contacts (soldering and crimping) PRETESTING PRE TESTING SETUP REQUIREMENT Oscilloscope.

AC Check: 4.1 Set signal generator to 1mV. Turn up Mic1 volume control to full. Watch for irregularities in the output waveform. 4.2 Set output voltage to 35V using the master volume control. Check voltages across the Emitter resistors (on the output power devices) 4.3 Voltage should be between 150mV –...
