OVERVIEW
The SR1530 is a high output, horn loaded, 3-way, wide dispersion, active sound
reinforcement system. It features a one-piece 90º x 40º horn, which includes both the mid
and high frequency sections in a proprietary “Optimal Wavefront” design. Unlike typical
mid/high horn designs, the high frequency section is positioned to fire down into the six-
inch mid-range’s dispersion pattern. This creates a focused, single wave front with
excellent phase and power response characteristics.
The mid-range transducer operates between 700Hz and 3000Hz, eliminating the
placement of a crossover point in the middle of critical voice frequencies. Frequencies
above 3000Hz are reproduced by a 1-inch exit compression driver. The low frequencies
are produced through a high output 15-inch woofer.
The SR1530 accepts a line-level signal via a female XLR input jack. A male XLR Thru jack is
provided for daisy-chaining the signal to additional SR1530 cabinets.
Two built-in power amplifiers provide 100 watts each for the mid-frequency and high-
frequency drivers. The low-frequency driver is powered by a high-efficiency, high-current
Class G topology amplifier providing 300 watts of power. The amplifier modules sit on a
large heatsink that eliminates the need for fans, dramatically extending life expectancy,
and eliminating maintenance cycles.
The cabinet is constructed using both 18mm multi-layered plywood and pressure injected
structural resin. Two carrying handles are integrated into each side for easy loading and
transport.

Amplifier Test Procedure
TEST EQUIPMENT

Audio generator/analyser NOTE: The amplifiers are

Oscilloscope operated in mono, so the negative
Voltmeter output terminals must not be
2 load resistors 16 ohm, 200W grounded by your test equipment.
1 load resistor 8 ohm, 100W Use an oscilloscope in Differential
Variac with voltage and current-draw meters mode.

1 INSPECTION

1.1 Inspect all components, solder, wires, connectors, screws, heatsink screws. Make
sure all transistors and IC amps are secured correctly to the heatsink.

2 CONNECTIONS

2.1 Connect the two 16 ohm loads to the Low and High outputs (Low+ Low- and Hi+ Hi -).

2.2 Connect the 8 ohm load to the Mid outputs (Mid+ and Mid -).

2.3 Connect the audio generator’s output to the XLR input of the SR1530.

2.5 Initially connect the analyser and scope to the 16 ohm load on the Low Freq section.

2.6 Connect the variac to the AC connector of the SR1530.

2.7 Set the frequency to 200 Hz, at minimum output.

2.8 Turn on the SR1530 Power Switch

3 POWER UP

3.1 Slowly bring the Variac up to 115 Vac (230 Vac for European models).

3.2 Verify that the green led is illuminated.

3.3 Verify an ac current draw of: 340 mA ± 10 % (115 Vac)

170 mA ± 10 % (230 Vac).

3.4 Verify with a DC voltmeter the values of the two DC rails (± 25 Vdc; ± 50 Vdc)
with a tolerance of approx 1.5 Vdc for the 25V rail and approx 2 Vdc for the
50V rail.

4 VERIFICATION OF THE LOW FREQUENCY SECTION.

4.1 Initially set the input signal to 30 mV at 100Hz.

4.2 Increase the input signal slowly until the limiter starts to stabilize the output to
35V (approximately 76.7W) with an input of approx 250 mV.

4.3 Lower the input signal until the limiter is not operating. The input signal should be approx
220\230mV) and the output signal should be 32V (approx 63.5 W into the 16 ohm load).

4.4 Bypass the limiter temporarily by shorting the led section of the optocoupler, and
increase the input signal until the output signal is clipping. Verify this occurs at approx 53
volts (180 W into the 16 ohm load). The input signal should be approx 380mV.

4.5 Remove the short circuit and verify that the limiter kicks in after 7 or 8 seconds.

5 VERIFICATION OF THE HIGH FREQUENCY SECTION.

5.1 Connect the analyser and scope to the 16 ohm load on the High Freq section.

5.2 Initially set the input signal to 100 mV at 10 kHz.

5.3 Increase the input signal slowly until the limiter starts to stabilize the output to
10.1V (approx 6.4W into 16 ohms) with an input of approx 240 mV.

5.4 Lower the input signal until the limiter is not operating. The input signal should be approx
190\200mV) and the output signal should be 7.9V (approx 3.9 W into 16 ohms).

5.5 Bypass the limiter temporarily by shorting the led section of the optocoupler, and
increase the input signal until the output signal is clipping. Verify this occurs at
approx 19.2 volts (23 W into 16 ohms). The input signal should be approx 441 mV.

5.6 Remove the short circuit and verify that the limiter kicks in after 6 to 7 seconds.

6 VERIFICATION OF THE MID FREQUENCY SECTION.

6.1 Connect the analyser and scope to the 8 ohm load on the Mid Freq section.

6.2 Initially set the input signal to 120 mV at 1 kHz.

6.3 Increase the input signal slowly until the limiter starts to stabilizes the output to
14.6V (approx 26.7W into 8 ohms) with an input of approx. 560 mV.

6.4 Lower the input signal until the limiter is not operating. The input signal should be approx
490\500mV) and the output signal should be 12.9V (approx 20.9 W into 8 ohms).

6.5 Bypass the limiter temporarily by shorting the led section of the optocoupler, and
increase the input signal until the output signal is clipping. Verify this occurs at
approx 24 volts (72 W into 16 ohms). The input signal should be approx 940 mV.

6.6 Remove the short circuit and verify that the limiter kicks in after 5 to 6 seconds.

7
Safety test
You must perform the following leakage test before returning the unit to your customer.
Take every safety precaution to protect yourself while doing this test.

1. Make a small loading RC circuit as shown in the diagram below, and connect the AC
volt meter between the AC power source ground and any exposed metal on the unit
under test.

2. Connect the unit under test to an AC power source using a ground-lift adaptor, leaving
the unit’s safety ground floating. Turn the unit on.

3. The meter reading should be less than 750mVAC (note: this is equivalent to 0.5mA of
leakage current).

4. Flip the plug over in the receptical so the hot and neutral are swapped.
Verify that the reading is still less then 750mVAC.

5. If either reading is greater than 750mVAC, then you must investigate and repair the unit
before returning it to your customer.

SR1530 active speaker modification
Models affected:
All SR1530 active speakers before serial number: EA 14008
Add this as part of your normal repair procedures.

Symptom:
Lack of midrange frequencies, or intermittent midrange

Possible Cause:
Poor connection of the midrange wires to the midrange transducer.

Solution: Midrange/tweeter
Improve the connections to the midrange transducer. assembly

Safety Warning:
Caution! These instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electric shock, do not
perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all service to qualified personnel.

Tools Required:
Phillips screwdriver, electrical cutters, safety glasses.

Procedure:
1. Remove all cords (including the power cable and input cable) from the speaker.
2. Lay the speaker on its back on a soft carpet or surface.
3. Take off the front grill, taking care to undo the LED wire connector. Undo the 14 screws and
washers holding the midrange/tweeter assembly to the front of the cabinet.
4. Lift up the midrange/tweeter assembly and remove the wires from the transducers. Make sure the
gasket does not get torn. Place the assembly face down on a soft surface.
5. Bend the tabs on the midrange terminal strip, so they are pointing approximately 45 degrees
the terminal board. See diagram 5 below.
6. Remove the plastic housing around the end of each of the midrange wires, see diagram 6.
7. Refit the black and the green wires onto the midrange terminals and make sure they are tight
and fully inserted. The negative terminal is smaller than the positive. Fit the tweeter wires securely.
8. Check that the gasket is in the correct position, then reassemble the speaker. Check the front
grill gaskets (top and bottom) are in the correct position and the LED wires are reconnected.
9. Perform a complete specification and safety test.
