Behringer X32 spares in UK

[J Pearce]

Just turned my X32 rack on to hear angry noises and the smell of sad circuitry. Looks like the MOV on the input filter has given up, but will try to sort it through warranty (just inside my 3 years) before I break out the soldering iron.

MOVs are a consumable. They gradually degrade with each transient they clip. It's a cheap and (usually) easy thing to replace.

Double check supply voltages to make sure it didn't die doing its job.

 

Another similar MOV-a-like that is failing more regularly is the black disk NTC inrush limiters. Some of them seem to have an issue dealing with inrushes and split in half.

Hopefully it’s a warranty fix, but if not I’ll be attempting component repair, as there is no stock of the psu board at present.

 

I’d initially thought it was a MOV, which as you say are consumables really, but as far as I can find it hasn’t taken out a fuse but won’t power up. Perhaps an NTC, as that would be in series?

 

My supply voltage here is consistently high, but annoyingly never goes over 252V so no point complaining, exacerbated by being fairly close to the substation so plenty of fault current available.
