RMX Series Technical Service Manual 3


1. Introduction
1.1 Service bulletins
Contact QSC Technical Services to make sure you have the most up-to-date service bulletins for RMX Series amplifiers. Service bulletins
may be distributed in hard copy, via fax, and electronically (Adobe Acrobat PDF) via CD-ROMs, FTP from the QSC web site
(www.qscaudio.com), and e-mail.
These service bulletins had been issued at the time this manual was printed: RMX0001, “Q205 Lead Stress” (RMX 2450 only); RMX0002,
“RMX Turn-on Delay” (all RMX models); RMX0003, “RMX 2450 Turn-off Mute” (RMX 2450); RMX0004, “RMX 2450 AC Wire Routing”
(RMX 2450); RMX0005, “RMX 2450 AC Wire Replacement” (RMX 2450); and RMX0006, “RMX 2450 IRFZ44N Field Effect Transistors (RMX 2450).

1.2 The well-equipped service bench


To properly service RMX amplifiers, a technician needs the right tools. The technician’s service bench should have the following equipment:
• Digital multimeter with RMS AC voltage and current
• Digital clamp-on ammeter
• Dual-trace oscilloscope
• Audio distortion analyzer
• Non-inductive load resistors, configurable as 8 ohms (min. 500 watts capacity), as 4 ohms (min. 750 watts capacity), and 2 ohms (min.
1200 watts capacity)
• Variable AC voltage source, such as a Variac or Powerstat variable transformer, with a rated current capacity of up to 25A (for 120V
models) or 12A (for 230V models)
• Low-distortion audio sine wave generator
• Philips and flat screwdrivers
• Soldering iron with a fine tip (25–60W recommended)
• Rosin-core solder (60/40 or 63/37)
• Long-nose pliers
• Diagonal cutters
• Wire strippers
Automated test equipment, such as an Audio Precision workstation, is very useful for servicing RMX amplifiers. Contact QSC Technical
Services to obtain applicable AP test files.

1.3 Working with surface-mount components


RMX amplifiers, like many modern electronic products, use surface-mount technology (SMT) components where appropriate in order to
make high-density circuitry that is reliable and economical to manufacture.
SMT components in the RMX amps are used in the small-signal and control circuits, so they do not handle significant amounts of power;
therefore, they are subject to very little stress and should seldom fail. Sometimes they do fail, or they require replacement for a performance
upgrade or modification. Thus, it is important to know how to work with SMT components.
Specialized tools and equipment exist for soldering, unsoldering, and removing SMT components quickly and
efficiently, but they are often expensive. Most SMT repairs, though, can be handled reasonably well with common
tools and equipment, such as tweezers, solder braid, and fine-tip soldering irons. The original factory components
are tacked to the board with a spot of glue, so you might have to apply some force to break the adhesive.

Two-terminal components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc.) Figure 1.1.


Removal
1 Use two soldering irons, preferably about 25 to 40 watts, with fine tips.
2 With a soldering iron in each hand, hold one tip on the solder at one end of the component and the other Solder braid
tip on the other end (Figure 1.1).
3 Once the solder melts on both ends, grip the component between the two tips and lift it from the circuit
board.
Figure 1.2.
4 Use solder braid and a soldering iron to remove the solder from the two pads (Figure 1.2).

Insertion
Solder 1 With a soldering iron and 60/40 or 63/37 eutectic-type solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to
create a small mound (Figure 1.3).
2 Grasp the component in the middle with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and
place the component across the two pads (in the correct orientation, if the component is sensitive to
Figure 1.3.
direction) and press it flat against the circuit board, with one end of the component immersed in the
melted solder (Figure 1.4).
Tweezers 3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the
component in place.
4 Fully solder the other end of the component to its pad. Let the solder harden (Figure 1.5).
5 Fully solder the tacked end of the component to its pad (Figure 1.6).
Figure 1.4.
Three-terminal components (transistors, etc.)
Solder Removal
1 With a soldering iron and solder braid, remove as much solder as possible from the middle terminal of
the component.
2 With a soldering iron in each hand, hold one tip on the solder at the terminal at one end of the compo-

nent and the other tip on the terminal at the other end.
3 When the solder on both ends melts, grip the component between the two tips and lift it from the circuit
Solder board. You might need to quickly touch the pad on the middle terminal with a soldering iron to melt any
remaining solder that might be holding the component down.
4 Use solder braid and a soldering iron to remove the solder from the three pads.
Figure 1.6.

Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and 60/40 or 63/37 eutectic-type solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small mound of solder.
2 Grasp the component with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and place the component in the correct orientation
across the three pads and press it flat against the circuit board, with one terminal of the component pressed into the melted solder.
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the component in place.
4 Fully solder the other terminals of the component to their pads. Let the solder harden.
5 Fully solder the tacked terminal of the component to its pad.
Multi-pin components (ICs, etc.)
Removal
Removing a multi-pin SMT component is a delicate procedure. Ideally, you should use a soldering iron with an attachment that allows you to
heat all the pins simultaneously.
If such a soldering device is not available, use this procedure:
1 Use a soldering iron and solder braid to remove as much solder as possible from the pins of the component.
2 With fine tweezers, carefully try to lift each pin to see if it’s free. If it’s not, touch it with the tip of the soldering iron and if necessary, use
the solder braid to remove the remaining solder.
3 Repeat the process until all the pins are free and you can remove the component.
Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and 60/40 or 63/37 eutectic-type solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small mound of solder. It
is usually easiest to use a pad that corresponds to one of the end or corner pins of the component.
2 Grasp the component with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and place the component in the correct orientation
upon its pads and gently press it flat against the circuit board, with the appropriate terminal of the component pressed into the melted
solder.
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the component in place.
4 Fully solder the other terminals of the component to their pads. Let the solder harden.
5 Fully solder the tacked terminal of the component to its pad.

5. Servicing RMX amplifiers
5.1 Mechanical disassembly and re-assembly
Replacing components will usually require removing the channel modules and/or AC board from the amplifier chassis, especially on the RMX 850
and RMX 1450, which have single-side printed circuit boards. The RMX 2450 has double-side boards; many of the through-hole components on
the upper side of the board can be unsoldered and soldered from the top side of the board, so removing modules or boards is not always necessary.
See the fold-out assembly guides on pages 23 and 24 in this manual for assistance.
NOTE: As viewed from the front of the amplifier, the left channel module is Channel 1 and the right is Channel 2 except in the RMX 2450; its
right module is Channel 1, and its left is Channel 2.

Removing the channel modules


1. Disconnect the amplifier from AC power and allow at least 10 minutes for internal voltages to bleed down.
2. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the top cover to the chassis. Also remove the top cover’s four recessed
screws that fasten it to the heat sinks. As you remove screws, set them aside, but also make note of where each type is used so you
can properly re-assemble the amplifier.
3. Lift the top cover up at the rear and carefully pull it toward the back, removing the five hooks on the front edge from their slots in the chassis.
4. Pull the gain control knobs straight off from the potentiometer shafts.
5. Tip the amplifier up on its side and remove the four screws that fasten the heat sinks to the chassis.
6. Set the amplifier back down and remove the screws that mount the channel modules to the chassis standoffs. There are six screws in
the left module and five in the right one.
7. Remove the four screws that fasten the fan, fan shroud, and fan guard to the chassis. Lift the fan shroud out from the chassis; this will
give you room to properly remove the modules from the chassis.
8. Disconnect the wire and cable connections to the channel modules. All of the connections are either detachable headers or ¼-inch
quick-connect tabs that are disconnected by pulling them straight up. No unsoldering is necessary.
9. Slide the channel modules toward the back so the potentiometer shafts and front panel LEDs are clear of their holes in the front panel.
Lift the channel modules out from the chassis.
10. Re-assembly is the opposite of disassembly.

Removing the AC board


The AC board provides AC voltage selection, rectification of the transformer secondary current, and a regulated DC supply for the cooling
fan. It seldom needs to be replaced unless it is physically damaged itself. Most failures involving the AC board can be repaired through
replacement of individual components.
WARNING: Regulatory agencies require that any operating voltage conversions from 120 volts to any other voltage be done only by QSC’s
factory service. Any other operating voltage conversions may be done only by a QSC-authorized service center or international distributor.
1. Disconnect the amplifier from AC power and allow at least 10 minutes for internal voltages to bleed down.
2. Remove the four screws that fasten the fan, fan shroud, and fan guard to the chassis. Lift the fan shroud out from the chassis.
3. Disconnect the wires that connect to the channel modules. All of the large single wires attach to the channel modules with ¼-inch
quick-connect tabs that are detached by pulling them straight up. The remaining three black wires disconnect at the left channel
module with a detachable header.
If you are planning to replace the AC board with another, carefully cut each of the transformer wires connecting to the board just above
its solder tab. You must leave enough slack to allow connection to the new AC board. Remove the old heat shrink tubing from the wires
and strip the wire ends about 0.25 inch or 6.3 mm.
4. Remove the five screws that attach the AC board to the chassis standoffs. Lift the board out from the chassis.
5. Re-assembly is the opposite of disassembly. If you’re using a new AC board, slide new pieces of heat shrink tubing over the trans-
former wires before you solder them to the appropriate tabs on the board; after soldering, cover the joints with the tubing and use a
heat gun or other heat source to shrink them tightly.
