FR Series Power Amplifiers To power these beautiful things, each SRM450 includes two of our acclaimed FR Series “Fast Recovery” power amplifiers. Our exclusive design uses low negative feedback, yet allows the amplifiers to maintain low distortion and stability and to quickly recover when driven into clipping.

20 feet away. The Cabinet The SRM450 cabinet was designed to be the strongest molded composite cabinet on the planet. This material is as strong as concrete, and rigid enough to prevent unwanted vibrations in the cabinet. It has built-in fly points for hanging, and a socket in the bottom for mounting on a tripod stand.
Safety test You must perform the following leakage test before returning the unit to your customer. Take every safety precaution to protect yourself while doing this test. 1. Make a small loading RC circuit as shown in the diagram below, and connect the AC volt meter between the AC power source ground and any exposed metal on the unit under test.
Bias adjustment The Amplifier Bias of every SRM450 must be carefully adjusted as follows. 1. Place the SRM450 on its side so that the heatsink fins are horizontal. 2. Connect the power cord and turn it on, with no input signal applied.

SRM450 Pole Mount Insert Rework Instructions Note: These instructions are to be used along with Mackie kit P/N 020-006-00 to repair SRM450s which already have the pole mount insert stripped out. The pole mount bolt assembly (bolt, knurled brass insert and alignment bushing) must still be with the unit as the parts will be recycled and also used during the rework.
Page 22
Installation Tool Assembly Insert Installation 6) Place the tool (insert first) into the pole mount hole. 7) Using the small pipe, gently tap the bushing into place so it fits snug. The bushing only needs to be partially installed (as a guide) since it will be removed shortly.

9) Reverse the drill and back the tool out. A quick, sharp twist once you start to back the tool out will break the tool free from the insert. You do not need to remove the tool slowly as with the installation. The metal bushing will easily pull out along with the installation tool.
