A class D amp with an SMPS. Count me in I also need the schematic.

 

[birdyman]

you can get schem from their website.

Its cheaper and easier to replace the now deep fried smps with a toroid transformer, a bridge rectifier and two 10000µF or higher caps with the right voltage rating.

SMPS amps is much better than toroid transformer based on experience.

crown XLS 1500 110v plugged on 220 now dead

I thought Crown XLS DriveCore series amps are equipped with SMPS capable of accepting all the voltages and frequencies around the world (similar to a laptop computer power supply)? See the back panel page 7 on the operation manual. Unfortunately 220V ~ 60 Hz (which is the voltage & frequency in the Philippines) is not included, maybe Crown should take this into account for products going to the Philippines.

I want to use this crown XLS 1500 in Australia 240 v/ 50 hz and the amplifier is set to USA 120/60 hz.

Any ideas pls.

I can't spot a reference to XLS1500 on the Crown support website for discontinued amplifiers. Assuming it is a switchmode supply, it should be possible to have this checked for resetting or modification to a 240V supply. This could be expensive but otherwise, you are stuck with using a huge step-down transformer. Crown ought to able to assist there through local service agencies. Good luck.
