Marchand XM44 in hibernation ...

Posted by watts (A) on January 22, 2017 at 08:40:06

and I can't wake it up. It has been buzzing a bit in the bass channels the last little while, and then a little louder buzzing. I tried swapping balanced to RCA's on the bass panels, still the buzz. The buzzing coincidentally started when I hooked up my new DAC, but I know it is the XO because I get no buzz when it is not in the loop. (Shhh,.... don't tell anyone, but I am running the pre-amp signal full range into the mid/tweeters; <1 watt)

So off to the shop with the Marchand. It is difficult to find quality "authorized" electronic audio repair in this small town; I just went through with this for my Mcintosh amp, I drove it 4 hours to the Vancouver area, and was without it for 3 months, but I think I have found a guy working out of a music shop I will give a go. I believe an electronic crossover is more of a pro-audio unit anyway? and it does not look like a complicated piece of equipment.

Anyone else had an issue similar? any ideas which part might be at fault in this unit? I don't plan on fixing it myself, but just curious. The odd part is that the power light still comes on; so the main fuse appears to be fine.
