  • Behringer EP2500 bridge mode not working

    Ok, so I repaired this amp. CH2 was fried. Replaced o/p transistors and two Fets. Both channels now work great into a load. When I switch the dip switched to bridge mode, (yes I know how to bridge these amps with these switches), I get a very feint signal and the CH1 clip LED lights with only a very small volume setting. Waveform on scope looks pretty distorted.
    Any ideas? I can post a schematic.

    Have you replaced IC 6?

      Is your load floating or are you connecting your scope ground to it?

        Hi. Jazz. Ill give that a try. Any specific reason you think it might be IC6? Channel two works fine. I'm using a differential probe- no ground on output.

          While bridged, check each channel individually. Are both making output. If so, then it would seem the problem was a lack of phase inversion. Or perhaps you are using the wrong output jack? It looks like only one of them outputs bridge on pins 1.
          Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.

              Sometimes the problem goes,
