PCM8 schematic

It has a number of files. What part are you fixing?

If they discover this is a PA amplifier, they may move your thre4ad down to that section, so look there if you can't find it at some point.

Is this schematic fitting your unit. This is the power amp only - most likely failure area.

Due to file limits on this board, I can;t add other drawings.

Well as usual I was wrong, at first glance the number of fuses and output transistors, and power supply voltage are right but NOTHING else is the same.
Mine is an early model, althought there is no date anywhere, could it be that all the components were revised.
 
I posted the PCM8+ hoping the power amp would be the same. APparently not?

You have a plain old PCM8. I don;t have that scanned in. By the time I can get it out and get to my other computer, you can just get the drawing from the factory.

Have your model number and serial number from the tag on the amp, and call Loud Technologies and ask for the schematics. They may ask you to agree not to post them online, but that is OK, we can deal with that on this end.
 
plain old pcm8 print

Called the number got the right print within 15 min. or so, wish I had a board layout, but we can't have everything. Seems like q8 and q9 might be the problem. Thanks again Enzo, if we ever meet I'll buy you a beer.
 
Crate PCM 8 SCHEMATIC

ENZO-guys,I have the whole thing.12 pages from front to back.I forgot I had ordered this thing when I blew out my phantom power circuit. Just had to locate it which I just did because believe it or not at my gig last night I blew up channel 2 with my acoustic guitar because the feed to my tuner was laying on the ground and I sent a crap load of DC right into the front end. Goodbye op amp. Now how to get it from paper to PC.These pages are big.I'll see what Staples can do guys.
 
Does anyone have the answer to these questions...

I have the Crate Pro Audio PCM-8 DP+

It has 2 amps. What are the watts? Is it 300w per amp or is the 300w split between the two amps?

Will it be enough power to send to 4 speakers on 100 ft. cables?

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm in the same boat kinda I took apart my pcm8-d didn't take a picture like a mmm hmm I would had been ok but I didn't finish in the same day I had to take all the low 2s out they were bent beyond fixing I paid my friend to hook the power wire back up he didn't screw it back together so when I got it home out iy came and yeah unhooked it all over again lol got to lough I will post some picks if some can tell me we're to put things I can mange that's can't read the paper on here wish I could thanks
