  • Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0

    I had a customer bring me a Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0 that stopped working.
    I looked on-line and found no schematics on the unit, With good reason.
    The Amp is a Class D amp. the main output, which you cant see is a surface mount device it may even be a BGA part. Anyway the first thing I found was that the power input has what I'm guessing is a SMT poly fuse or NTC, marked P100. one end, towards the main fuse looks like the solder cracked out and arced. When I touched it it finished falling off the board.
    Looks like this could be a week spot in the design. 5A at 120VAC must pass through that connection.
    The PS and Amp are on one board 2.5X5" or so.
    Looks like this could be a strictly exchange kind of unit.
    Found out it still has a warranty so I'm packing it back up and saying "ta ta" to it.

    I don't think BGA is suitable for the current demands of an audio amp. Mainly used for logic.

      Yea its not a BGA part.
      The whole module is a ICE Power 125ASX2 by Bang-Olufsen.
      www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com/files/solutions/125asx2.pdf
      Its based on a Sanyo part.
      Looking on the Web it doesn't appear that there is any reported issues with these. So the one I have may be a freak.
      I did find it said that these modules were unabtainium unless you are a OEM.
