Test procedures and specification
1.Set LIMITER and BRIDGE switches at OFF, turn VR of CH1 and CH2 to maximum, then turn on the power switch and the
blue power LED lights up, and OPERATING/PROTECTION LED shows red then become green after 2-5 seconds or so.
2. Applied no signal, adjust R1-16(CH1) and R2-16(CH2) so that the voltage of R1-17/2-17 is 125
±
2Mv(MISTRAL900)/130
±
2mV. Connect a 4
Ω
load at output, input a 5KHz signal into CH1 or CH2, adjust the signal so that the output is 5VP-P
(about 2VRMS), verify the curve on oscilloscope and there shall be no crossover distortion.
3. Input a 1KHz,
-
6dB signal, the output shall be 26V+/-0.5V( for MISTRAL900) and 37V+/-0.5V(for MISTRAL1500), and
the distortion shall be less than 1%. Using the multifunctional meter to measure two pins of JP3, the voltage is about 12V at
first, then using a heat blower to blow R3, the voltage will increase up to about 26V. Using a tweezers to short R1-38 (CH1)
and R2-38(CH2), the overheat protection will start (no signal output).
4.To short the output terminal while the it reaches to maximum output level, the LIMITER on front panel is lit, the power
consumption is less than 150W(MISTRAL900/1500) while in short protection.
5.S/N: larger than 90dB(A weighted is more than 100dB)
6. Compressor function test: LIMITER switch is set at ON, input a 1KHz / +10dB signal, the LIMITER LED is lit in yellow and
there is no clipped signal.
7.Adjust the VR on front panel so that the output is :2V(4
Ω
). The measured frequency response is more than 35Hz to 20
kHz+/-1dB (CH1/CH2)
8.Press the BRIDGE switch down, input a 1KHz signal into CH1(the level control of CH2 is turn to minimum), connect a 8
Ω
load at output terminal, measure the bridged output voltage is more than about 50V(for MISTRAL900) and 70V (for
MISTRAL1500), the distortion is less than 1%.
9.Turn off the input signal, the power consumption shall be less than 50W.
