If you are experiencing an issue where the QSC RMX 1450 amplifier is not giving any sound when connected to the main output of your Mackie 16 OK mixer, but works when connected to the aux send, here are some possible causes and solutions:
Check the main output level on the Mackie mixer. If the level is too low or muted, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Increase the main output level on the mixer and check if the amplifier produces sound.
Check the cables connecting the mixer to the amplifier. If the cables are damaged or not connected properly, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Ensure that the cables are connected securely and are not damaged or broken.
Check the amplifier settings. Ensure that the amplifier is set to the correct input source and that the input gain level is set correctly. You may also want to check if there are any protection modes or limiters enabled on the amplifier.
Check the speaker connections. If the speakers are not connected properly or are damaged, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Ensure that the speakers are connected correctly and are not damaged.
If none of the above steps work, there may be an issue with the mixer or the amplifier. You may need to contact a qualified technician to further diagnose and repair the problem.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when working with audio equipmen
There are several circuits that can prevent start up, not the least of which is the power supply itself. Check the owners manual, it may tell you about conditions that could cause this. The next step is to open it up. There may be something obviously wrong, burnt, disconnected or stressed. Barring that, we'd be into board and component level testing. If you know what your doing, the output stages of these high power amps are a good place to start.
Please specify a bit more, does the rattle is physical(Enclosure structure) or electronically hear thru speaker(Power Amp Common Issue)? I have the solution for the amp issue, let me know.
Just spray a few shots but you have to take the top cover apart, then take out 3 philips screws in the pots module, take off caps and then you should be able to give'em a good cleaning spray shots.
A common issue with the QSC RMX series amp is faulty volume pots, so i would recommend go this way first of all, let me know a bit more to improve help.
Disconnect speakers. With NO input, if clip light remains on, take in for repair as there is an internal failure. If reducing the gain and loudness keeps the clip off, then you are probably driving the amp too hard. This is common problem when the user "thinks" they need it louder but the amp speaker combination will not deliver louder. At this point, both the amp and the speakers are at risk of permanent damage requiring repair.
You should NOT drive the amplifier into the clipping mode continuously. There is a possibility that you have fried your speakers or that they are the real problem. You haven't told us what you were driving, however this amp will deliver 450 Watts per side RMS at 8 ohms which means your speakers have to be rated at least that much RMS power for continuous. When speaker voice coils fry, they can wipe out amplifiers. Let us know what speakers you are using and how they are configured. This amp is going to be expensive to repair I can tell by looking at the schematic: Here is the schematic:
Scroll down to "get manual" and click to download it. IGNORE other download links.
This amp has circuits to boost the power supplies to the amps to handle the peaks. It is rather complex but the schematics are complete and have good explanations... some of the best I have seen. There are going to be a lot of destroyed components and great care has to be used after repair to "cold start" the unit to make sure nothing else is bad or it will blow up again. Most people do NOT have trouble with the QSC amps... so do tell me what speakers you are using and how they are configured so we can verify the design is correct. This amp is rated for 8 ohms so USUALLY only ONE speaker can be connected per side... and finding an 8 ohm speaker that can take 450 watts continuous RMS isn't easy. People fall for the advertising claiming "Peak" and "Program" power which are FAKE advertising... ONLY use continuous RMS power when sizing amps and speakers. There are MANY ways to cook out equipment... One is to boost the bass or the treble way up. Another is to NOT use balanced interconnect lines between mixers and your amps. Yet another is to NOT power ALL interconnected equipment from a single receptacle or power conditioning module. Please describe your setup further so I can help you more!
