audiomachines said:hi,
The Behringer A500 got some good reviews, I wouldn't go for the Konzert amps especially the proamps. I been around playing with these ''brutes'' for some time,IMHO good and economical for p.a. applications only, and maintenance wise to. Lots of cheap power.
Best Regard,

Hi audiomachines - would you have a schematic I can look at, for reference? The idea of changing a brute (an inexpensive one at that) and trying to make it sound good is a nice project... 🙂
Cheers!
deeco and alexan sells metal film resistors at 20X the price of a carbon film. yup. expensive. so I went to a sidewalk vendor and asked him to collect metal films and took home a whole bag full of assorted values. 🙂
as for MKT film caps, they are nowhere to be found. I just have the itch to buy some when I see some. so now I ended up with a big box full of those at home.

Yep, metal film is available, but limited values at those places... The biggest issue I have is the availability of 'good capacitors'....

unavailability
Hi fellow pinoy,
got same problem, its hard to get the metal film resistor, ceramic cap for high voltage and mkt, mkp capacitor in raon, only available in farnell and rs philippines in makati.
rlg.😉 😉 😉

I was afraid of that - I was aware of the RS and Farnell options, but frankly the prices are so painful...
Do you think we can petition one of the stores in Raon to stock such things at 'reasonable' prices?
Cheers
---oops sorry for the thread jack...

we could continue this discussion about parts here without "thread jacking" 🙂
honestly, I wasn't aware that we had RS and farnell over here.
if you need something I might have, email me. 🙂
actually, I haven't had any problems not finding a metal film value that I need in raon although I sometimes need high voltage ceramic caps and I can't find any.....

djQUAN, good link - I'll have to take some time to read through it!
Thanks to all for indulgence and responses!!!

Wow - where do they get parts like that... So sad that Raon doesn't seem to have such things...
Or is there???
Alexan sells metal film resistors, you may want to check it out.
😀
sa Farnell at RS kasi mataas ang presyo,
we've tried to search and end up scratching our heads.
yes conrad heatsinks are fine but .............shipping

hello guys,
Sorry I don't have the schematics for the Behringer A500 amps. If you decided to get one, it sells around 15K to 18K php. It depends on your haggling skills. 😀

Was at Raon last Saturday - price a Konzert A4 (a 400W/ch unit) around P13K, no haggling (yet).

Hi macweb,
Yup, that's what I was saying myself. Now, if it can be modded to make it sound decently good... not for PA, which I understand is the problem (i.e it isn't as rugged as it should be for PA work) ..

hi, any pics? how is it in terms of weight, build? the main filter caps will give us an idea as to its true power caqpability.
Hi Tony,
Pic here:

But no, wasn't able to have a good look, was pressed for time then. Went into the shop on a lark, curious about the pricing of the Behringer stuff, and they also happened to have the K4 on display.
I might try to have a better look next time I'm there..
Or maybe audiomachines can supply some info!! 🙂
Cheers!

thanks, they must be class G or H, i wonder if they rate their amps as per FTC standards...i have not read the whole specs though..
Hi Tony,
According to audiomachines they are supposed to be Class B. The company offers another line which is based on class-H circuitry...
Cheers!
