RCF / Mackie ART 500

[djmatthill]

Hello.

 

Just a quick question if I may ?

 

 

I`m due to do a call out to repair 2 pairs of RCF/Mackie Art 500 Speakers.

 

The HF drivers are NOT working in 2 of these cabs , and I suspect its either the HF driver needs replacing or.... The HF Protection Lamp on the x-over board.

 

If it is the HF protection bulb, RCF spares have quoted me £25 each for a new bulb ?????

 

Now Iv done a little search on the internet and other users have posted that RCF speakers use a 24v 50w xenon bulb , which costs about £1.00.

 

 

I just wondered if anyone here on BR has got actual experience on these Cabs and can confirm which type of lamp I need.

 

Before anyone says "just have a look" , I want to take some lamps with me so I can repair/replace it there and then.

I won`t have access to the Cabs until next week and the job is about 200 miles from home , so dont wanna go back if it can be helped.

 

 

Thanks in advance guys

Hi, I've just had a look around and it looks like it's an Osram 64465, although I can't be 100% sure. Also, the quickstart guide on the mackie website shows phillips head screws for the back panel (sorry, it's been ages since I used a set of these so I can't help further)
