  • ARIA AG20 AMP Schematic NEEDED!

    I have an ARIA AG20 AMP that is not working and I'm looking for a schematic. Does anyone have the schematic or knows where abouts to get one? Thanks in advance.

    I have one on the bench at the moment.
    No schemeatic on my end.
    This amp has a very low hum I can't seem to fix.
    The output IC is a TDA 2040.
    Pretty easy amp if you want to just trace it out.

      If you are sure that the IC is working then:
      1. Check the input jack - it often doesn't work
      2. Check power capacitor and diode

      Make sure you clean every potencimetar with contact spray. I hope this helps.

        The amp came in for new jacks.
        I think this thing took a roll.
        IEC connector broken, input jack broken.
        Fixed those & the amp hummed!
        Changed out the filter caps & the output IC.
        Diodes are fine.
        The hum seemed to be radiating.
        If I probed the ground buss, that lessened it.
        WTF.
        I removed the reverb IC & the hum was gone.
        New IC, still hums.
        So I started looking at the ground buss layout.
        The ground loops all the way around the board in a "U" shape, terminating at the reverb pot.
        I added a jumper to connect the loop & the hum is gone.
        It also looks like the reverb circuit could have been laid out a lot cleaner.
