Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier

Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier

Yes designing products for the Japanese market involves working at 50Hz which is the worse case.

I won't speculate on this specific product design. David is confident that his mains power is to spec, and Yuka is confident that the amp should work properly for David.

JR

Yes, I hope that Yuka will put a full report here when they get the amp back, since there is clearly a community of interested people wanting to know the solution to this mystery.

Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier

I would get what we call a variac (variable transformer) and test what the amp does with slightly less mains voltage, say 95V. If the shutdown does occur more, or even doesn't switch on at all, then you know it's at the border of the voltage, frequency range...

@Per For 60Hz you need less buffer capacity, compared to 50Hz. That can make a difference...

I assumed that would be a good thing.

Re: Why are BEHRINGER products so affordable?

I have unfortunately needed Behringer support due to the aforementioned problems.
obviously hoping that is the end of the issues now.

The support has been both prompt and professional, how may businesses would the CEO get involved and Ian is a great guy, I can easily forgive the odd issue when the backup is of such a high quality.

Well done Uli and Ian. Very impressive.

Just just an update, the 3 nu6000's that went back for the diode modification have now done several months work and now appear to be fine.

Re:inuke 6000 issue

was the inuke 6000 switching off completely or was it going into protective mode?

Re: inuke 6000 issue

got this inuke 6000 which suddenly keeps going into protective mode(orange lights goes red),it work fine for a couple seconds then it goes to protective mode,and after a couple resets it stays in protective mode,will start working again only if i let it sit there for a couple of hours,and it still wont run for more than a couple second before it start going to protective mood .and all this is going on with the amplifier plug ,with no input or output.

Hey, Alex!!!

Play nice and use your full, real name like everyone else.

No sympathy until then...

Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier

Just got a mail from the distributor saying Behringer won't replace one of the VP2520's because the speaker is blown because I turned the volume up to loud and blown speakers aren't covered under the warranty. It's a joke. This pair of VP2520's never even left my living room.

Now that was some powerful cinematography! I would have watched it again but there is this video of paint drying that I didn't want to miss. Sorry, just kidding! I think you have made your point!

The rustling of the leaves, the striking of the stove, the one cricket, the two crickets, the expletives. The story is there. You just have to want it.

What does the location have to do with it? Do living rooms have special "speaker protection" properties?

Re: inuke 6000 issue

Dear Albert,

This sounds like the diode issue, which requires a simple modification.
Please PM me here or contact [email protected] so we can get it fixed.

Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier

Meaning they were never really used for anything other than house karaoke parties and all the levels from input line to amp volume are labeled "do not touch this".
The EP 4000 was set volume level under 4 with low low cut enabled. We only use the system maybe once a month at most only for guests.

These are the worst places. :x~:-x~ When you shut the door, they touch whatever they shouldn't.
I had once that my father was at a small house party, afterwards I asked the renter how it was, according to him it was a quiet party. My father (a former dj) told me, that he left the party early because of the unbelievable distortion coming out of the speakers. I was happy they weren't blown.

This. Also setting your EP 4000's gain knobs provides no guarantee, ie it does not limit amplifier output if someone decides to drive it too hard.

First of all-who says the levels were properly set?

It doesn't matter what the volume control on the amp is-it can still produce full output EVEN WITH the volume control on 1.

It is amazing how many people thing the volume control adjusts the output power level capability.

I don't know what the problem is-but there are all sorts of things that can cause damage-and then it is possible it just "broke". It does happen. Even with top of the line products.

So in other words, you have no idea whatsoever if the "do not touch" caveat was heeded, but you do have a blown speaker which indicates that the power handling capability of the speaker was exceeded.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt, as the saying goes.

The second half's meter is not quite right, however; for full success as a poem, more work is needed.

Actually if the attenuator is set to "1" it could cause the upstream level to be cranked up and clip something upstream well before full power but still generate lots of HF harmonics to cook the HF drivers. I don't think he actually told us which driver(s) where blown?
