DESCRIPTION

(Shown in A105A

Carrying Case)

The Shure SR105 Power Amplifier is a high-power amplifier designed for sound reinforcement applications. It is capsble of delivering 200 watts rms to a 4-ohm load, and is available in two models, the SR105A and SR105B. The

SRlO5A Power Amplifier provides both a direct-coupled speaker output and a transformer-coupled constant-voltage, 70-volt output, while the SR105B Power Amplifier is equipped with a direct-coupled speaker output only. In this manual "Amplifier" refers to both SRI05A and SRlOSB models unless otherwise specified.

The Amplifier is of rugged construction and is conserva- tively designed to provide reliable operation at high power levels with minimum distortion and phase shift. Used in conjunction with a suitable mixer-preamplifier or audio console such as the Shure Model SR101, a versatile, high- quality, high-power, sound reinforcement system may be assembled for use with a variety of speaker systems. Sev- eral SR105 Power Amplifiers may be interconnected (described under Operating Instructions) to provide greater power output for large installations and redundant operation. The basic direct-coupled speaker output capabilities of the Amplifier are well suited to the source-oriented speaker systems used in theatres, auditoriums, stadiums, ballrooms, and convention halls, in short, wherever maximum coverage with reserve power is required. The additional 70-volt output feature of the SR105A Power Amplifier makes it equally adaptable to source-oriented or distributed speaker systems such as those used for background music or announcements in industrial buildings, institutions or public places.

An Output Voltage Meter in the Amplifier facilitates adjustment and output level monitoring.

Silicon transistors and similar solid-state devices are used throughout the Amplifier. Short-circuit and thermal overload protection are design features which eliminate the need for special installation or operation precautions.

All components are of the highest quality and are operated well within their respective ratings to assure maximum reliability under normal use conditions.

The Shure SR105 Power Amplifier is supplied with one

1.8m (6 ft) audio input connecting cable and an accessory package consisting of four rack-mounting screws, one

Volume Control Cover, one Power On-Off Switch Cover, and one spare 5-ampere fuse.

The SR105A and SRIO5B Power Amplifiers are listed by

Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., and are listed by Canadian

Standards Association as certified.

The A105A Portable Carrying Case accessory is designed specifically for use with the SR105 Power Amplifier.

The SR105 Power Amplifier is designed for rack-mounting i n a standard 19-inch (483 mm) audio equipment cabinet rack and i s supplied with the necessary mounting hardware.

To insure adequate air circulation, a minimum clearance of

51 mm (2 in.) should be provided above and behind the

Amplifier (see Figures 3, Page 4). If the cabinet ambient temperature reaches 43OC (llO°F), forced air ventilation should be provided to avoid the possibility of thermal overload (see following section). The Amplifier may be operated in an ambient temperature range from - 7 " to 43°C (20" to 110°F) in continuous duty without derating.

The Amplifier may also be operated while mounted in a

Shure A105A Carrying Case.

THERMAL OVERLOAD

The SR105 Power Amplifier i s equipped with thermal sensing switches on the output transistor heat sinks. The fier when a temperature of 90°C (194°F) is attained on the heat sinks; the switches automatically recycle and re-apply power when the heat sink temperature drops to 73°C

(164°F). A THERMAL OVERLOAD light (3), located on the front panel of the Amplifier, indicates if thermal cycling has occurred. Thermal cycling may occur if air is not allowed to circulate across the black finned heat sinks and through the grilles of the Amplifier, or if there is a pro- longed short-circuit on the output.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The SR105 Power Amplifier is furnished with a three- conductor power cable and three-prong grounded plug

(7). Connect the power cable to an outlet which supplies

Hz power. The maximum power consumption at 120 volts under any normal operating condition is 450 watts (3.75 amperes at 120 volts). Idle power consumption with no input signal is nominally 20 watts.

If extension cords are required to supply power to the

Amplifier, a high quality 18-gauge or larger cord should be used.

A POWER toggle switch on the front panel (4) controls the application of ac power to the Amplifier. The tamper- proof cover supplied may be used to eliminate accidental movement of this switch.

Main ac power fusing is provided by a 5-ampere, type

3AG, cartridge-type fuse (6) located on the rear panel. A spare ac power fuse is supplied for mounting in the clip on the rear panel (12).

Additional protection is provided by wired-in fuses in the main ac power circuit (FI, 8 amperes) and i n the ac pilot lamp circuit (F3, 1 ampere). These fuses are located under the chassis.

FUNCTIONAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (See Figure 4,

Page 5)

The inputs of the SR105 Power Amplifier consist of two unbalanced (grounded) phone jacks (13) and one balanced- bridging, three-pin, female audio connector (5). The balanced-bridging input is wired in parallel to the phone jacks after passing through an isolation transformer. The input signal then passes through the VOLUME Control (2), and if the Amplifier is an SR105A, either passes through a Filter

Assembly and 70V-OFF Switch (10) to the Power Amplifier circuitry, or bypasses the Filter Assembly and goes directly to the Power Amplifier circuitry. In the SR105B Amplifier the signal passes directly from the VOLUME Control (2) to the

Power Amplifier circuitry.

The Power Amplifier circuitry contains a dc balance adjustment to minimize idle power consumption and eliminate dc offset at the direct-coupled (28V) output. The balance adjustment is generally only performed when active Power

Amplifier circuit components are replaced.

The metering circuit, located at the output of the Power

Amplifier circuit, contains a meter calibration adjustment, a meter rectifier, and an output meter that indicates percentage of output voltage. NOTE: 100% is the maximum

Amplifier output voltage prior to clipping regardless of load.

Maximum power output is obtained with a direct-coupled speaker load impedance of 4 ohms, or a 70-volt output speaker load of 150 watts (33 ohms), or a combination of direct-coupled and 70-volt loads which results in optimum loading for maximum power output.

The Power Amplifier circuit output goes to four phone jacks (8) and one two-contact terminal strip (9). In the

SR105A Amplifier, the output goes through the 70V-OFF

Switch ( l o ) , a constant-voltage, 70-volt output transformer, and a three-contact terminal strip (1 1).

A detailed description of the Amplifier circuits and controls and their uses is provided in the following paragraphs of this section.

INPUT CONNECT IONS

Three LlNE LEVEL INPUTS Connectors are located on the rear panel of the Amplifier (see Figure 2, Page 2). A professional, three-pin, female audio connector (5)* provides a balanced bridging, high-impedance input connection. Unbalanced, high-impedance input connections are provided by two standard

1/4" phone jacks (13) wired i n parallel.

The Amplifier may be driven to full-rated output by any audio console, preamplifier or microphone mixer capable of delivering 1.2 volts across a 25-kilohm load.

When using the Shure SR101 Audio Console as the mixer-preamplifier, connect the cable supplied with the

Amplifier from one of the PROGRAM OUTPUTS Jacks labeled LlNE LEVEL on the SR101 to one of the LlNE LEVEL

INPUT Jacks (13) labeled UNBALANCED PARALLELED

HIGH IMPEDANCE on the Amplifier (see Figure 5A, Page

6). If a longer interconnecting cable is desired, a single- conductor, shielded, low-capacitance cable (such as Bel- den #8401, 8410, or 8411) should be used.

In applications where the Amplifier is located at a con- siderable distance from the mixer-preamplifier, electrical interference or excessive hum pickup may be encountered.

Hum pickup may also be encountered over shorter distances as a result of ground loop conditions between the units.

Under these circumstances, a balanced line, such as is used for low-impedance microphones, should be used for interconnections. A low-capacitance, two-conductor, shielded cable (such as Belden #8412 or 8422) is recommended. A professional, three-pin, female audio connector is required for wnnection to the mixer-preamplifier, and a similar three-pin male connector is necessary for connection to the Amplifier (see Figure 5B, Page 6). When wiring these connectors, connect the cable shield to pin 1 in each connector, one of the cable conductors to pin 2, and the other conductor to pin 3 in each connector. For balanced line operation, use the cable as described above to connect the mixer-preamplifier PROGRAM OUTPUTS three-pin connector labeled LlNE LEVEL to the Amplifier LlNE LEVEL

INPUTS connector labeled BALANCED BRIDGING (5).

Since the two input jacks of the Amplifier are wired in parallel, one jack may be used as an auxiliary, high-level, unbalanced output to feed the signal to another Amplifier

(SR105 or similar equipment) or the high-impedance input of a tape recorder. The three-pin input connector (5) is connected through an isolation transformer in parallel with the two input jacks (13). If not otherwise in use, the three-pin connector may be used as a balanced, high-level, signal source for a second Amplifier or other auxiliary equipment

(see Figure 5C, Page 6).

Additional SR105 Power Amplifiers may be added to the system for a fail-safe type operation where complete re- dundancy is required. Refer to the section on Bridging

Connections (Page 11).

Certain input equipment, such as passive equalizers, step attenuators and matching networks, may require a

600-ohm termination for optimum performance. (This is not required with any Shure products.) When a 600-ohm terminated input is required, a 620-ohm, 5%, %-watt resistor must be connected to the terminals of the input cable connector (see Figure 5D, Page 6). This resistor must be connected between pins 2 and 3 of the three-pin connector, or between the tip and sleeve terminals of the phone plug.

The resistor will fit inside the sleeve of the three-pin connector or phone plug. Be careful not to damage the wires, connections, sleeve or resistor when making this installation.

An occasion may arise where it is desirable or expedient to feed the Amplifier from a 70-volt line. This could be in connection with the expansion of an existing installation, or as a result of efforts to minimize cable runs in a new installation. An input signal for the Amplifier may be derived from a 70-volt line through the use of an attenuator (see

Adding Amplifiers i n a 70-Volt System, Page 10). When operating from a 70-volt line, the VOLUME Control (2) on the Amplifier should be set to the "7" position. With the recommended attenuator, this setting will produce approximately 28.3 volts at the DIRECT OUTPUT terminals

70 volts at the 70V OUTPUT terminals (SRlO5A Amplifier)

(1 1) when the 70-volt input line is at 70 volts.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Four standard

1/4" phone jacks (8) and one two-terminal barrier strip (9) on the rear panel of the Amplifier provide direct-coupled speaker output connections (see Figure 2,

Page 2). All connectors are wired in parallel and provide for simultaneous connection of a number of speaker systems. A three-terminal barrier strip ( l l ) , labeled 70V

OUTPUT (SR105A Amplifier only), provides for connection to the 70-volt output of the Amplifier (see Figure 2,

Page 2). This output is present only when the 70V-OFF

Switch (10) is set to the 70V position.

The Amplifier utilizes direct coupling between the output stage and the direct-coupled speaker output load. The full-rated 200-watt output of the Amplifier is obtained when the speaker load connected to the DIRECT OUTPUT terminals (8,9) is four ohms. The output voltage under these conditions is 28.3 volts. Speaker loads of less than four ohms should not be used with this Amplifier. If less than four ohms is inadvertently used, no damage to the speakers or Amplifier will occur, but a reduction in power output and an increase i n distortion will be experienced. Thermal shutoff of the Amplifier may also result.

It should be noted that various speaker loads will affect the output power of the Amplifier. See Figure 6, Page 7, to determine Amplifier output power for a given speaker load. Refer to the section entitled, Amplifier-to-Speaker

Matching (Page 8) for assistance in calculating speaker load.

In the event that an SRlO5A Amplifier is operated in an application where the 70-volt output is not used, the 70V-

OFF Switch (10) should be turned off. This disconnects the

70-volt transformer which would otherwise be operating without a load. If the transformer is allowed to operate in a no-load condition, i t may activate the output transistor pro-

CAUTION

Parallel connection of the DIRECT OUTPUT Con- nectors (8,9), or the speaker cables between two

SR105 Power Amplifiers, or the SR105 Amplifier and any other amplifier, should not be attempted. Bal- ancing paralleled amplifiers is virtually impossible, and the circuitry mismatch cannot be balanced. The same precaution should be observed with regard to the 70V OUTPUT Connectors (11) of two SR105A

Amplifiers, or the SR105A Amplifier and any other amplifier. Such a connection may result in damage to one or both amplifiers and is not covered by the

Guarantee. This restriction does not extend to the series amplifier connections described in Bridging

(DIRECT OUTPUT ONLY) tection circuitry and cause low-frequency breakup or distortion of the Amplifier audio output.

The 70-volt output of the SRlO5A Amplifier is transformer-coupled to facilitate the use of balanced lines in the long cable runs associated with distributed speaker systems. A center-tap connection to the secondary of the output transformer (CT) is provided on the 70-VOLT OUT-

PUT terminal strip (11). This terminal may be grounded to provide speaker lines which are balanced to ground. This is done by connecting a wire from the center-tap terminal to the ground terminal. This arrangement can be effective in eliminating hum induced in the speaker lines by strong external fields. It can also be effective in eliminating cross- talk and a tendency for system oscillation in applications where the 70-volt speaker output and low-level audio input are run in the same raceway.

The full-rated output of 150 watts from the SRI05A Ampli- fier at the 70-volt output terminals (11) will be realized with a 33-ohm load. The output voltage under these circumstances will be 70.7 volts. In order to activate the 70-volt output of the Amplifier, turn on the 70V-OFF Switch (10).

When using this output, care should be taken to see that the sum of the individual loads (i.e., each speaker in a distributed speaker system) does not exceed the 150-watt power output capability of the Amplifier.

It is possible to utilize both the direct-coupled speaker output and the 70-volt output of the SR105A Amplifier simultaneously, if desired. In this case, reference should be made to Figure 7, Page 7 to determine the power available to the 70-volt output as a function of the load on the direct speaker output. As an example, assume an 8-ohm speaker load is to be connected to the direct-coupled speaker output, and the 70-volt output is also to be used.

Following the 8-ohm vertical line on the graph (Figure 7,

Page 7) to the point where i t intersects the curve, note that the horizontal line also passing through this point is

80 watts. This is the power available on the 70-volt output with a simultaneous 8-ohm direct output load.

As indicated on the rear panel of the Amplifier, Class 2 wiring* may be used for speaker connections to the

DIRECT OUTPUT terminals (8,9) of the Amplifier as well as the interconnection between speakers in the direct-coupled distribution circuit. Class 2 wiring may be used for speaker connection to the 70V OUTPUT terminals (1 1) of the Ampli- fier or interconnection of speakers within this circuit.

In order to avoid appreciable power loss in the cables used for speaker connection, it is necessary to consider the length of cable required, the total impedance of the speakers being connected, and the Amplifier output (direct or

70-volt) being used. The graph presented in Figure 8, Page

8, for direct speaker output indicates the recommended wire gauge for various speaker loads and amplifier-to- speaker distances. As an example, assume two 16-ohm speakers are to be connected in parallel at a distance of

18.3m (60 ft) from the amplifier, and the direct output of the Amplifier is to be used. The total impedance of the speakers connected in parallel i s eight ohms. Following the 8-ohm horizontal line on the graph (Figure 8) to the point where it intersects a vertical line representing 18.3m

(60 ft), note that the nearest solid diagonal line to this point is labeled AWG 18. This is the recommended wire

DIRECT OUTPUT gauge. This procedure should be followed for each speaker cable connected to the DIRECT OUTPUT Connectors

(8,9) of the Amplifier. If a point plotted on the graph falls between two of the wire gauge lines, the larger of the two should be the wire gauge used. This will limit the power loss in the cable to less than 10%.

The graph of Figure 9, Page 8, provides wire gauge recommendations for use with the 70-volt output of the

SR105A Amplifier. A 70-volt line is usually used for distributed speaker systems where many speakers and long cable runs are involved. The wire gauge value determined from the graph would be satisfactory for the entire cable run in a distributed speaker system. However, it is possible to reduce the wire size in increments as the speaker load becomes less toward the end of the cable run or as branches are split off the main line. The economy of such an arrangement will vary depending upon the details of each installation and should be evaluated accordingly.

AMPLIFIER-TO-SPEAKER IMPEDANCE MATCHING

DIRECT SPEAKER OUTPUT

In order to obtain maximum transfer of Amplifier power to the speaker load at the direct speaker output and reduce distortion, the total impedance of the speaker load should be as near to four ohms as practical under the existing circumstances (see Figure 6, Page 7). If the speakers being used have a rated impedance of 16 ohms (such as the Shure SR102 and SR103), then four such speakers connected in parallel present a total load impedance of four ohms to the direct speaker output of the Amplifier.

This is an,ideal match to the Amplifier. If, as often happens, an exact match is not possible, it is desirable to have a speaker load higher than the Amplifier minimum load impedance.

In general, if more than one speaker is to be connected to the DIRECT OUTPUT Connectors (8,9) of the Amplifier, a determination should be made as to which method - series, parallel or series-parallel interconnection of speakers - culate the total impedance of a number of speakers connected in series, merely add the individual speaker impedance values together. To calculate the total impedance of a number of speakers of identical impedance connected in parallel, divide the impedance of one speaker by the number of speakers in the group. For example, the total impedance of three 16-ohm speakers connected in parallel is 16 divided by 3, or 5.3 ohms.

In the event that a group of speakers of different individual impedances are connected in parallel, the total impe-

. . . . etc. where ZT Z, first speaker, Z, is the impedance of the second speaker, and so forth, with a total number of fractional terms equal to the total number of speakers in the group. Before at- tempting to add the individual fractions, a common denominator for all fractions must be determined. For example, if an 8-ohm and a 16-ohm speaker are connected in parallel, the expression is written:

Examination indicates that 16 would be an appropriate common denominator, allowing the expression to be re- written as follows: and simplifying,

Taking the reciprocal of (inverting) the final expression gives:

= -

5.3 ohms

For a series-parallel interconnection of different speaker impedances, determine the total parallel-connected speaker impedance, and add it to the total of series-connected impedances. The sum is the total load impedance.

In planning a multiple speaker installation, the maximum power ratings of the individual speakers being used should be kept in mind. This is particularly important where speakers of different impedance values are connected to the DI-

RECT OUTPUT Connectors (8,9). For example, assume an

8-ohm and a 16-ohm speaker are connected in parallel across the Amplifier output and the Amplifier is operated at full-rated output. Figure 6, Page 7, shows that approximately 120 watts are developed across the 8-ohm speaker, while only 60 watts are produced across the l g o h m speaker. The power ratings of the speakers employed must be evaluated accordingly.

70-VOLT OUTPUT

When the 70-volt output of the SR105A Amplifier is uti- lized, matching the speaker load to the Amplifier output impedance is not necessary. The only requirement is that the total wattage of the speaker load connected to the 70- volt output does not exceed the power rating of the Ampli- fier.

In a 70-volt speaker system it is standard practice to cou- ple each speaker to the 70-volt line with a line transformer.

These transformers are equipped with tapped secondary windings to accommodate various speaker impedances.

The primary winding is also tapped and labeled with the wattage rating applicable to each tap. For example, the

Shure A102A, a 50-watt transformer, has taps at 50, 25, 12 and 6 watts. (Transformers are available at various power ratings to suit the requirements of the application.) The primary taps allow adjustment of the power level delivered to the speaker when the transformer is connected to the 70- volt line. Connection of the 50-watt tap to the 70-volt line produces 50 watts across the speaker when the audio signal level on the line is 70 volts. Similarly, use of the 25- watt tap produces 25 watts across the speaker.

The total load in watts presented by a 70-volt multiple speaker system is the sum of the individual speaker loads.

The value of each individual speaker load is indicated by the wattage rating of the transformer primary tap connected to the 70-volt line. For example, assume only two speakers are connected to a 70-volt line, the first using a

50-watt primary tap and the second using a 25-watt tap.

The total load across the 70-volt line is therefore 50 plus 25, or 75 watts.

In the design of sound reinforcement installations, good engineering practice allows for change or growth. An example of this is a 70-volt installation requiring 300 watts.

This system could be handled by two 70-volt lines of 150 watts each, connected individually to two SR105A Ampli- fiers. This system would be operating at full capacity with no room for expansion. The preferred installation would be three 70-volt lines of 100 watts each, connected individually to three SR105A Amplifiers. This arrangement allows addi- tions or changes in each 70-volt line of up to 50 watts.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE METER

The OUTPUT VOLTAGE Meter (1) provides a convenient aid for adjusting and monitoring the Amplifier operating level. The meter scale is calibrated in percent, with 100% being equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the

Amplifier, prior to clipping. The performance of the meter is similar to that of a VU meter and it responds to program material in a similar manner.

It should be noted that a 100% meter indication represents a signal level of 28.3 volts rms across the DIRECT

OUTPUT (8,9). The maximum rated amplifier power output of 200 watts is obtained only when the total speaker load is 4 ohms across the DIRECT OUTPUT. With loads other than 4 ohms, a 100% meter indication represents a lower power output, e.g., for a total speaker load of 8 ohms, a

100% reading indicates a power output of 100vvatts. Note that it is not possible to obtain a greater power output with this load.

Figure 6 may be used as an approximate guide to the power indicated by a 100% meter indication for various direct speaker loads. Note that while the meter is calibrated for 28.3 volts output, the typical output power available is somewhat higher and is indicated by meter readings greater than 100%.

In the SR105A Amplifier, a 100% indication represents a signal level greater than 70.7 volts rms across the 70V

OUTPUT Terminals (11). The OUTPUT VOLTAGE Meter

(1) may be recalibrated for a 100% indication with 70.7V output. Maximum 70-volt amplifier power output is obtained with a 150-watt load (33 ohms) across the 70V

OUTPUT Terminals. Similarly, maximum power output may be obtained with a combination of direct and 70-volt loads (see Figure 7, Page 7).

The relationship between the OUTPUT VOLTAGE Meter

(1) reading and the Amplifier direct-coupled output power is illustrated in the following table:

In most applications, the VOLUME Control (2) setting of the Amplifier is determined by the sound level requirements of the area being served. Initial adjustments are made in the audio console feeding the Amplifier to set the average program output level to a value convenient for monitoring on the audio console VU meter, usually 0 VU.

This can be done either with program material or with an internal tone oscillator as in the Shure SRlO1 Audio Con- sole. With this signal as an input to the Amplifier, adjust the VOLUME Control to provide the desired sound level from the speakers connected to the Amplifier. At this point, it is important to note the reading of the OUTPUT VOLTAGE meter (1). If the average reading is 70% or higher, i t is likely that peak excursions in the program material will exceed 100% and enter the clipping region of the Amplifier.

If the program material is of relatively constant level, as in

"hard rock" music, this operating condition may be ac- ceptable or even desirable. It should be noted that a moder- ate amount of clipping is not readily detectable and is toler- ated by some users in the interests of maintaining a higher average sound level at the amplifier output. If the dynamic range of the program material is expected to be large, as in a live orchestral or dramatic production, i t is advisable to set the output voltage level to 50% or less to reduce the possibility of noticeable clipping on loud passages. In either case, to achieve the best overall performance from the sound system, the operator should keep in mind the operating level he has set up for the Amplifier, and control the console output accordingly.

The tamper-proof cover supplied is designed to replace the pull-off VOLUME Control knob (2) and keep the VOL-

UME Control at a preset position.

BRIDGING CONNECTIONS

If greater power or optimum system reliability becomes extremely important, two Amplifiers may be connected in series (never in parallel!) to obtain an output of 400 watts into an 8-ohm load, or 200 watts into a 16-ohm load (6 ohms minimum load). To determine available power, divide the actual load impedance by two and, referring to Figure 6,

Page 7, double the output power shown on the graph. This connection also provides a fail-safe, or redundant, system: if one Amplifier fails, the second remains functional at its normal power output. This series connection of amplifier outputs is commonly referred to as a bridged configuration.

Connect the Amplifier balanced inputs out of phase as shown in Figure 11, Page 11, with the speaker load connected between the two 28V terminals of the DIRECT OUT-

PUT Terminal Strips (9). Connect the two GND terminals together.

If a 140-volt output is required (SRlO5A Amplifier only), two SR105A Amplifiers may be connected i n series as described above, except that the 70-volt outputs are used.

Connect the speaker load to the 70V terminals (11) of the two SR105A Amplifiers and connect the COM terminals together. Use Class 1 wiring.*

Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life.

Make all input and output connections with ac power disconnected. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

Parts that are readily available through local electronic parts distributors are not shown on the accompanying

Parts List. Their values are shown on the Circuit Diagram

(Figure 21, Page 25). Commercial parts not readily available and uniaue arts are shown on the Parts List and may be ordered diredtly from the factory.

The commercial alternates shown on the Parts List are not necessarily equivalents, but are electronically and mechanically similar, and may be used in the event that direct factory replacements are not immediately available.

To maintain the highest possible performance and reliability, Shure factory replacement parts should be used. When ordering replacement parts, specify the Shure Replacement

Kit Number, description, product model number and serial number.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

To replace line fuse F2 (with no apparent problems in the unit), disconnect the line cord and remove the rear-panel fuseholder cap. Replace the defective fuse only with a

3AG-5A fuse.

NOTE: The following symbol on the rear panel denotes a fast operating fuse.

CAUTION

If trouble symptoms erratic operation, etc. -were apparent before the fuse blew, or if the replacement fuse blows, trouble- shoot the Amplifier carefully to find the source of the trouble. Do not continue to replace fuses unless the trouble has been corrected.

The Amplifier also contains two wired-in fuses, one in series with rear-panel line fuse F2 (FI, 3AG-8A) and one in the meter lamp circuit (F3, SAG-1A). If replacement becomes necessary, replace only with identical fuses.

BOTTOM PLATE REMOVAL

To remove the chassis bottom plate, turn the Amplifier upside-down and remove the 10 screws located at the edges of the chassis.

COVER REMOVAL

To service components on the top of the chassis, the protective cover grille (MP7) must be removed. This is done by removing one screw from the top, two screws from each side, and eight screws from the back surface. To remove, slide cover up and to the rear of the Amplifier.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Two bayonet-base pilot lamps (PL2, PL3) illuminate the scale of the OUTPUT VOLTAGE meter. These lamps are mounted on the top surface of the chassis behind the meter as shown in Figure 13, Page 13. To replace a lamp, remove the grille cover and the nut on the lamp bracket mounting stud. Swing the bracket up and out until the lamp is accessible. Push the lamp inward, twist i t 1/8-turn counterclockwise, and withdraw i t from its socket. After replacing the lamp, reposition the assembly under the meter and tighten the bracket nut. Replace the grille cover.

DC OUTPUT BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

In order to minimize the idle power consumption of the

Amplifier and eliminate dc offset at the direct-coupled output, a dc balance control (R4-DC BAL.) has been provided. This control is located on the Main Circuit Board under the chassis, as shown in Figure 14, Page 14, and may be reached by removing the bottom cover. The dc balance of the Amplifier should be checked and adjusted as necessary whenever any circuit components are replaced.

The dc balance adjustment is made with the Amplifier

VOLUME control (R41) f u l l counterclockwise and no speaker load. If the Amplifier being adjusted is equipped with a 70-volt output (SR105A), the 70V-OFF Switch (S4) should be turned off. Connect a dc voltmeter (preferably with a 0.1 Vdc full-scale range) across the terminals of the

DIRECT OUTPUT terminal strip (TSI).

CAUTION

The polarity of any dc voltage at the output may be either positive or negative and could be as much as

10 volts; care should be exercised in connecting the meter such that an on-scale reading is obtained.

Carefully adjust the dc balance control for 0 Vdc +-25 mV at the output.

If the 70V-OFF Switch was moved to make this adjustment, return it to its original position. Replace the bottom cover.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE METER CALIBRATION

In the event that the OUTPUT VOLTAGE Meter (MI) or its associated circuitry is repaired, a meter calibration check and adjustment should be performed. With the

Amplifier off, check the zero position of the meter. If i t is not on zero, use a small screwdriver to turn the meter zero

SMALL SIGNAL AND PREDRIVER TRANSISTORS

Transistors Q1 through Q6, Q13, Q14, and Q201 through

Q203 are mounted on printed circuit boards. When replacing these transistors i t is imperative that proper lead configuration be followed. A minimum of soldering heat should be used to avoid damage to the transistor or printed circuit board. Refer to the Notes to Circuit Diagram (Figure

20, Page 23) for the transistor lead codes.

DRIVER TRANSISTORS

Driver transistors Q7 and Q8 (Figure 13, Page 13) are mounted on a bracket located on the top surface of the

Amplifier chassis. Before removing these transistors, write down the lead color and location at each transistor solder junction. When replacing transistors, apply Wakefield Type

120 thermal joint compound to each side of the insulating wafer to provide good heat transfer from transistor to bracket. After replacement and before connecting transistor leads, check the transistors between case and chassis with an ohmmeter; there should be no continuity. Be sure that these transistors are not interchanged in the circuit; they are not identical devices. Q7 is an NPN transistor and

Q8 is a PNP transistor. Refer to the Notes to Circuit Diagram

OUTPUT TRANSISTORS

Output transistors Q9 through Q12 (Figure 13, Page 13) are located on the black, finned heat sinks. The replacement procedure is the same as that used for driver transistors Q7 and Q8.

NOTE: Output transistors Q9 through Q12 must be matched for current gain. When replacing output transistors, be sure to replace with devices which have the same gain and part number as the original transistors. Shure transistors have a letter suffix i n the part number (i.e.,

86A360A) which serves as a gain code. Transistors with the same part number and suffix letter have equal current gain.

DIODES

Diodes D l 5 and D l 6 (Figure 13, Page 13) are located on the black, finned sinks with the output transistors. Special care is required to insulate these diodes from the heat sink while providing good heat transfer from sink to diode. Heat- shrinkable tubing or "spaghetti" should be placed over the diode and connecting leads; the diode should be securely clamped to the heat sink with the clamp provided.

DIODE BRIDGE RECTIFIER

Silicon diode bridge rectifier D l 1 is mounted on the underside of the chassis as shown in Figure 14, Page 14.

When replacing this component, apply Wakefield Type 120 thermal joint compound between the heat sink base of the rectifier and the chassis to provide good heat transfer to the chassis. Note that the base of the rectifier is provided with a locating pin. When installing the rectifier be sure to position it such that the locating pin fits into the hole provided for it i n the chassis. The terminals are marked to indicate the ac connections to the power transformer and the (+) and (-) dc output connections to filter capacitors

C14 and C15.

CHECKING TRANSISTORS AND DIODES

Defective transistors and diodes may be located by use of a standard ohmmeter such as a Simpson Model 260.

(Polarity of the ohmmeter must be verified before these checks are made.)

With a known diode orientation, measure the diode resistance in the forward and reverse directions. The lowest meter reading establishes the probe at the cathode end

(schematic symbol arrow points to cathode) as the "minus" probe while the other probe is "plus." Some ohmmeters are not polarized in this manner with relation to "volts plus probe" and "volts minus probe." With the ohmmeter

"plus" probe on the anode end of a diode and the "minus" probe on the cathode end, the ohmmeter should read approximately 2 kilohms or less. With the meter probes reversed, a reading of about 10 kilohms or more should occur. If either of these conditions is not met, the diode should be replaced.

When checking the bridge rectifier disconnect all leads to the assembly, noting the terminals to which they were connected. Check each diode leg of the bridge in the same manner as described previously for individual diodes. Refer to the preceding section, Diode Bridge Rectifier, for installation instructions if replacement is required.

To check transistors, the ohmmeter should be set to the

100- or 1,000-ohm scale. Small signal transistors (Q1 through Q6, Q13, (214, Q201 through (2203) must be removed from the circuit before testing. Transistors mounted with screws (Q7 through Q12) may be tested in place; however, the base and emitter leads to these transistors must be removed.

If all conditions in the following table are met, the transistors may be considered free of any major defect; if any of the following conditions are not met, the transistor should be replaced. See Notes to Circuit Diagram (Figure

20, Page 23) for transistor terminal codes.

SR105B AMPLIFIER CONVERSION FOR

70-VOLT OUTPUT

If it becomes necessary to equip a Model SRIOSB Power

Amplifier for 70-volt output (distributed speaker) operation in addition to the existing 28-volt direct output, the conversion may be accomplished using the parts and procedures described below. The required parts may be ordered through a local Shure Franchised Dealer or directly from the Shure Factory. No modifications to the metal chassis or front panel are required.

W A R N I N G

This conversion should only be performed by qualified service personnel or the Shure Factory Service

Department.

Once the conversion is performed, the Amplifier is identical to the SR105A Amplifier and all instructions and diagrams pertaining to the SR105A Amplifier apply.

The following parts, materials and tools are required to perform the 70-volt conversion (NOTE: Figure 15, Page 16 shows the electrical circuitry involved. Reference to the

SR105A Amplifier Circuit Diagram, Figure 21, Page 25, will aid i n understanding the circuit modifications.)

Remove the line cord from the ac outlet and remove all input and output cables. Remove the metal grille cover as described previously in this section. Remove the two locknuts securing the two lamp socket assemblies (see Figure

16, Page 17). Remove the lamp socket assemblies from the mounting studs and move them away from the studs to permit mounting of the 70-volt transformer. Place the transformer over the four mounting studs, orienting the transformer leads toward the center of the Amplifier chassis.

Replace the lamp socket assemblies, orienting them as shown in Figure 16, and secure the transformer using the two locknuts previously removed and the two supplied with the transformer. Pass the transformer leads through the unused grommet nearest the rear of the Amplifier chassis.

Turn the Amplifier upside-down and remove the chassis bottom plate as described previously in this section. Re- move the rear-panel 70-volt conversion Cover (marked

SHURE MODEL SRlO5B) (MP6) by removing the four screws securing i t to the chassis. Mount the terminal strip

TROUBLESHOOTING

A general troubleshooting process is as follows: If the

Amplifier is completely "dead," check the ac power source, fuses, and power supply output (52.5V at pin F of Main

Circuit board). If the indicator lamps are on but the output is distorted, low or not present, apply an input signal as described under Ac Voltage Measurements below, and determine that the input and output voltages to each board assembly are correct. If an incorrect ac voltage is found at any board output, perform Dc Voltage Measurements on that board as described below to isolate the problem area.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

The numbers within rectangular symbols

Circuit Diagram denote the ac voltage at that point under the following test conditions:

1. Voltage measured with respect to chassis unless otherwise indicated.

2. Line voltage: 120V, 50/60 Hz.

3. Test signal of 0.3V, 1 kHz applied across connector J1.

4. Ac voltage measurements may vary t 2 0 % from values shown.

5. Measurements made with ac VTVM of 1 megohm or greater input impedance.

6. Four-ohm non-inductive 200-watt load across DIRECT

OUTPUT Terminal Strip TS1 for direct output measurements or (SR105A only) 33-ohm non-inductive 150-watt load across 70-volt OUTPUT Terminal Strip TS2 (70V-

COM) for 70-volt output measurements, but not both.

7. Volume Control set to maximum (10).

8. SR105A Only: 70V-OFF Switch set to OFF for all circuit measurements except 70-volt circuitry (Filter Circuit board and associated components). Filter Circuit board rolls off the low frequencies; amplifier output should be -3 -c-1 dB at 30 Hz referenced to

-c-3 dB at 20 Hz.

1 kHz and -12

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

The numbers within elliptical symbols 0 diagram denote the dc voltage at that point under the following test conditions:

1. Voltages measured with respect to chassis unless otherwise indicated.

2. Line voltage: 120V, 50160 Hz.

3. No input signal applied.

4. Dc voltage measurements may vary t 2 0 % from values shown.

5. Measurements made with VTVM of 11 megohms or greater input impedance.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

With the ac line cord disconnected from the ac source and the POWER ON-OFF Switch in the OFF position, the following ohmmeter measurements may be made:

1. Transformers may be checked for continuity of each winding.

2. To test transistors and diodes, see Page 15.

Frequently asked questions

The SR105A delivers 200W rms continuous to a 4-ohm load, 100W to an 8-ohm load, and 150W to a 70V line (33-ohm load).

The amplifier has thermal switches on the output transistor heat sinks that shut off power at 90°C (194°F) and recycle when the temperature drops to 73°C (164°F). A front-panel lamp indicates overload.

Yes, the SR105A can use both outputs at the same time, but the 70V output power depends on the direct output load (e.g., 80W available on 70V with an 8-ohm direct load).

The input impedance is 39 kilohms (balanced) or 25 kilohms (unbalanced) with ±30% tolerance.

Use a three-pin female audio connector (e.g., Cannon XL Series) and connect the cable shield to pin 1, one conductor to pin 2, and the other to pin 3.
