[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 58622, member: 67"] Re: new to this forum First, welcome to SFN. Glad you found our little corner of the intertubes. Second, a power conditioner is sort of like hair conditioner... it rinses off. ;) No, seriously, there is NOTHING inside most power conditioners that actually "condition" the power. The most you can usually hope for (unless you spent north of $300 on it) is for self-sacrificing MOV surge protection. Use it for your mixer or things things that will hate surges; power amps can usually deal with voltage problems better than almost anything else in your system. The reason the front panel breaker trips is because you're drawing more that it will allow. IF your repair shop is a Crown-authorized service center, I'd be inclined to believe them when they say the amp is functioning as intended. That leaves the venue's electrical service, particularly since this failure occurs only in that one place. There is probably a big HVAC load on the building service causing voltage drop. Without throwing several hundred $$ at this, there is nothing you can do about that. Sorry, but there is no easy answer. [/QUOTE]
