Soundcraft DCP100 PSU

[bil4702]

Hi all, I have a Soundcraft DCP100 PSU that has developed a hum.
I am unable to find a schematic for it anywhere.
The problem is R5 has burnt out and is black so I cant identify its value.
It runs in parallel with a small cap between chassis ground and 0v.
If anyone has the schematic, or can have a peek inside one that they own or can suggest a suitable value for this location I would be most grateful.
Thanks,
bce

Have you tried ringing your local soundcraft distributor?Sound Technology plc

or even ringing Soundcraft Direct? (Switchboard is 01707 6685000

Tried ringing them but cannot help as it is obsolete. They dont have diagram for it.

What is the model of the mixer that uses it?
Is is a linear or switch mode supply?

 

[bil4702]

Its a quite old linear PSU, fairly simple +/- 15v regulated plus 48v for phantom supply, its just the value of the burnt resistor I want to get.

 

[JonSnell Electronic]

R5 is a 12R resistor connecting the 0v to a common ground or earth point.
If it has burnt out in the past there has been an issue with a connection to the ground point that was not at ground potential. It is there to form a virtual earth.
Try replacing it. A 1Watt of mostly any low value is sufficient.

Thanks a lot jonsnell, I'll do that tomorrow and see how it goes.

22 omhs it is r5 resistor - red red black 🙂
