trace elliot 715x dead

roree · 07-08-2009, 12:27 AM

Hi all new to this forum. Thanks for having me. I need help with an amp that died when someone else was using it. My trace 715x died this weekend. The amp is just over a year old. I am told that the amp and speaker seemed to pop a bit, then nothing. The preamp seems to still work, but no power for the speaker

. I suspect a power transistor. Has anyone heard of these transistor numbers: TIP 122, 7915CT (RAC525g), 7815CT (RAC 546G) K3590. Am I correct in suspecting an output problem? Thanks for any help.

How long is the warranty? Isn;t the amp under warranty? Most peavey repair shops are also Trace Elliot repair shops. Or call customer service at Peavey.

7815 and 7915 are not transistors, they are the 15 volt regulators for your preamp.

This is a complex amp, I think you should refer the service to someone familiar with it.

Thanks Enzo you are correct it is complex. The amp is warranted for a year. I have the unit for about 20 months. I will try to find a decent repair shop here in central New Jersey.
