jillmark99 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've been away on business for a few days, came home tonight, pressed house on, got settled in and went to listen to the radio and discovered no sound.Looking at the rack it looked as if the amplifier power was off. I checked the power output of my UPS and it has power, tried a new cord from a separate wall plug to the amp and still nothing.Is it a common problem for power supplies to burn out in these? Or are there other common issues with them?If it is a power supply problem, does anyone know if the power supply from a media controller would be the same? The chassis is the same as the amp so wondering if the power supply would be. I ask because i have a media controller that i no longer use and could use this power supply if need be.Anything else I should check before disconnecting all the wiring and removing it from the rack?

SMHarman Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The 8 zone amp is a more troublesome device. There are warranty rebuilds and other things happening to them. Are the fans clogged? Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The Media Controller power supply is totally different from the 8 Zone amp power supply. The 8 Zone amp power supply does have a fuse on it. I would suggest checking the fuse to see if it has blown. Note that it is a ceramic fuse and as such you won't be able to check it without a multimeter. If that fails you will need to get a new power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillmark99 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks Alan. I will pull it out of the rack tomorrow. That's too bad that the power supplies are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillmark99 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Guess I'm looking for a new amp then. Anyone with a used C4 amp for sale please PM me with model number and price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Got to be able to find a compatible power supply. What are the specs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jack Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I did a search a while back and pulled up some model info on the power supply for that unit. I believe it was in a thread on this forum. I will look and see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jack Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 here is the thread http://www.c4forums.com/topic/12570-avm-16a2-b-questions-asner-only-48v-ps-dealer-willing-to-sponsor/ I don't know for sure that this unit will work...but its def close in model number. -11 is quoted this is a -21. You can also pull up specs on the supply if you google the manufacturer and model number. You very well may be able to MAKE something work. Depending how your electronics skills are of course! And it might be worth the money to replace the whole unit just to be able to sleep comfy at night. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/160955697353?lpid=82 Also on the google search, I found several companies that SAY they have them in stock and you can request a quote. But you know how that is...Again, I think the key is if that is the correct power supply. I've never owned one of those amps, so I really have no idea. But, if you can find one that meets the specs, and physically fits and that you can correctly connect the voltages supplied to the correct input locations, it SHOULD work.
