1. Introduction
1.1 Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
Beginning in June 2006 (serial number date code 0606xxxxx), all ISA Series amplifiers are manufactured to conform to the European
Union’s RoHS Directive, which reduces the amount of hazardous substances allowed in products for sale within its member nations. In
electronic equipment such as audio power amplifiers, this applies primarily to certain toxic heavy metals, such as lead, which may be
present in electronic components, solder, and other parts.
RoHS-compliant materials
When servicing RoHS-compliant amplifiers, it is important for the service technician to use only RoHS-compliant components and solder
(lead-free). All replacement parts provided by QSC for RoHS-compliant products are certified as RoHS compliant.
RoHS-compliant tools
Soldering irons and desoldering apparatus used on RoHS-compliant products must also not be contaminated by hazardous substances,
such as lead. Therefore, you cannot use the same soldering and desoldering tools for RoHS-compliant products and solder as you do for
non-compliant products and solder. You must either use separate soldering irons, desoldering tools and braid, etc., or at the very least
designate separate tips and braids and use only the appropriate ones. If you contaminate a tip or braid, even inadvertently, by using it on
a non-compliant product or solder, you can no longer use it with RoHS-compliant products or solder.
1.2 Service bulletins
Contact QSC Technical Services to make sure you have the most up-to-date service bulletins for ISA Series amplifiers. Service bulletins
may be distributed in hard copy, via fax, and electronically (Adobe Acrobat PDF) via CD-ROMs, FTP from the QSC web site
(www.qscaudio.com), and e-mail.
One service bulletin has been issued for the ISA Series at the time this manual was printed: ISA0001, “ISA Turn-on Hangup” (ISA450,
ISA500T, ISA750 and ISA800T)
1.3 The well-equipped service bench
To properly service ISA amplifiers, a technician needs the right tools. The technician’s service bench should have the following equipment:
• Digital multimeter with RMS AC voltage and current
• Digital clamp-on ammeter
• Dual-trace oscilloscope
• Audio distortion analyzer
• Non-inductive load resistors, configurable as 8 ohms (min. 500 watts capacity), as 4 ohms (min. 750 watts capacity), and 2 ohms (min.
1200 watts capacity)
• Variable AC voltage source, such as a Variac or Powerstat variable transformer, with a rated current capacity of up to 25A (for 120V
models) or 12A (for 230V models)
• Low-distortion audio sine wave generator
• Philips and flat screwdrivers
• Soldering iron with a fine tip (25–60W recommended)
• Rosin-core solder (RoHS-compliant solder, or 60/40 or 63/37 for non-RoHS product only)
• Long-nose pliers
• Diagonal cutters
• Wire strippers
Automated test equipment, such as an Audio Precision workstation, is very useful for servicing ISA amplifiers. Contact QSC Technical
Services to obtain applicable AP test files.

1.4 Working with surface-mount components
ISA amplifiers, like many modern electronic products, use surface-mount technology (SMT) components where appropriate in order to
make high-density circuitry that is reliable and economical to manufacture.
SMT components in the ISA amps are used in the small-signal and control circuits, so they do not handle significant amounts of power;
therefore, they are subject to very little stress and should seldom fail. Sometimes they do fail, or they require replacement for a
performance upgrade or modification. Thus, it is important to know how to work with SMT components.
Specialized tools and equipment exist for soldering, unsoldering, and removing SMT components quickly and efficiently, but they are often
expensive. Most SMT repairs, though, can be handled reasonably well with common tools and equipment, such as tweezers, solder braid, and
fine-tip soldering irons. The original factory components are tacked to the board with a spot of glue, so you might have to apply some force
to break the adhesive.
Removal
1 Use two soldering irons, preferably about 25 to 40 watts, with fine tips.
2 With a soldering iron in each hand, hold one tip on the solder at one end of the component and the other
tip on the other end (Figure 1.1).
3 Once the solder melts on both ends, grip the component between the two tips and lift it from the circuit
board.
4 Use solder braid and a soldering iron to remove the solder from the two pads (Figure 1.2).
Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and appropriate solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small
mound (Figure 1.3).
2 Grasp the component in the middle with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and
place the component across the two pads (in the correct orientation, if the component is sensitive to
direction) and press it flat against the circuit board, with one end of the component immersed in the
melted solder (Figure 1.4).
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the component in place.
4 Fully solder the other end of the component to its pad. Let the solder harden (Figure 1.5).
5 Fully solder the tacked end of the component to its pad (Figure 1.6).
Figure 1.1.
Solder braid
Figure 1.2.
Three-terminal components (transistors, etc.)
Removal
1 With a soldering iron and solder braid, remove as much solder as possible from the middle terminal of
the component.
2 With a soldering iron in each hand, hold one tip on the solder at the terminal at one end of the compo-
nent and the other tip on the terminal at the other end.
3 When the solder on both ends melts, grip the component between the two tips and lift it from the circuit
board. You might need to quickly touch the pad on the middle terminal with a soldering iron to melt any
remaining solder that might be holding the component down.
4 Use solder braid and a soldering iron to remove the solder from the three pads.
Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and appropriate solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small
mound of solder.
2 Grasp the component with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and place the
component in the correct orientation across the three pads and press it flat against the circuit board,
with one terminal of the component pressed into the melted solder.
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the
component in place.
4 Fully solder the other terminals of the component to their pads. Let the solder harden.
5 Fully solder the tacked terminal of the component to its pad.

Multi-pin components (ICs, etc.)
Removal
Removing a multi-pin SMT component is a delicate procedure. Ideally, you should use a soldering iron with an attachment that allows you
to heat all the pins simultaneously.
If such a soldering device is not available, use this procedure:
1 Use a soldering iron and solder braid to remove as much solder as possible from the pins of the component.
2 With fine tweezers, carefully try to lift each pin to see if it’s free. If it’s not, touch it with the tip of the soldering iron and if necessary,
use the solder braid to remove the remaining solder.
3 Repeat the process until all the pins are free and you can remove the component.
Insertion
1 With a soldering iron and appropriate solder, melt just enough solder onto one pad to create a small mound of solder. It is usually
easiest to use a pad that corresponds to one of the end or corner pins of the component.
2 Grasp the component with tweezers. Melt the small mound of solder with the iron and place the component in the correct orientation
upon its pads and gently press it flat against the circuit board, with the appropriate terminal of the component pressed into the
melted solder.
3 Hold the component in place and take the soldering iron away. Let the solder harden to tack the component in place.
4 Fully solder the other terminals of the component to their pads. Let the solder harden.
5 Fully solder the tacked terminal of the component to its pad.

1.5 Series description
QSC’s ISA Series amplifiers are entry-level professional audio
products for installed sound systems, designed for good, basic
performance and reliability at low price. The series comprises
seven current models—the ISA280, ISA300Ti, ISA450, ISA500Ti,
ISA750, ISA800Ti, and ISA1350—and three discontinued ones—
the ISA300T, ISA500T, and ISA800T.
Outputs for distributed lines
While all ISA models can drive low-impedance speaker loads as
low as 2 ohms per channel, the three ending in “Ti” also have
isolated transformer-coupled outputs for driving 25-, 70-, or 100volt lines. The “T” models preceded the “Ti” ones and had nonisolated autoformer-coupled outputs; other than this distinction,
they are the same as the “Ti” models. Note: For the sake of
brevity, information that pertains to both versions will be
combined in descriptions of the “Ti” models, except where
otherwise noted.
Each model has two audio channels and is three rack spaces tall.
See page 2 for complete specifications.
The ISA280, ISA300Ti, ISA450, and ISA500Ti have single-sided
printed circuit boards. The ISA750, ISA800Ti, and ISA1350 use
double-sided boards.
1.6 Technical descriptions and
theory of operation
Note: Some of these descriptions concern circuitry that is
duplicated in the amplifier’s two channels. For the sake of
simplicity, the descriptions are of Channel 1 only. Components in
Channel 1 have a 3-digit designation with “1” as the first digit;
their equivalents in Channel 2 have a “2” as the first digit,
followed by the same two numerals. For example, R122 and R222
have identical functions in their respective channels.
Power supplies
Unlike other recent QSC amplifiers, the ISA line uses strictly
conventional power supplies, with large transformers that operate
at the 50 or 60 Hz frequency of the AC line. The electrical current
in the secondary circuitry is converted to DC through a full-wave
bridge rectifier. The resulting 100 or 120 Hz ripple is filtered out by
large capacitors that also serve as current reservoirs for shortterm, transient demands.
The supply provides a bipolar set
of supply rails for each channel,
with equal quiescent positive and
negative voltages, as shown in
Figure 1.7. Note that unlike many
bipolar supplies for complementary transistor arrangements, the
secondary windings are not
connected to ground at the center.

described later in this
chapter.
Figure 1.8
In the ISA 750 and ISA 800T, the secondaries are tapped to provide
an intermediate set of bipolar rails for the Class H output circuitry.
Figure 1.8 shows one channel. Class H operation is described later
in this chapter.
The 24-volt cooling fan is driven by a separate DC supply that is
powered by a 20-volt tap on the transformer primary. To minimize
fan noise, the fan speed is controlled by varying its actual DC voltage
in response to the amplifier’s heat sink temperatures. An
optocoupler isolates the fan control circuitry from the thermal
sensors.
Audio circuitry
The audio inputs are balanced to offer a reasonably high amount
of common-mode noise rejection. The input balancing is done
using a single op amp (one half of an NE5532 dual op amp)
arranged as a differential amplifier. The degree of common-mode
rejection is dependent on a close match between the input
resistors (R100 and R101 in Figure 1.9) and between the feedback
resistor and the shunt resistor (R105 and R106). The circuitry uses
1% precision resistors to ensure at least 40 dB of common-mode
rejection.

octaves above the high end of the audio spectrum). This makes the
amplifier less susceptible to RF interference, high-frequency
oscillations, etc.
Also in this stage, the feedback loop contains one half of a 13600
dual operational transconductance amplifier (Figure 1.10). The OTA is
part of the clip limiter circuitry; when the clip limiter is activated, a
control voltage increases the transconductance of the OTA, which
essentially decreases the impedance of the feedback loop and
reduces the gain of the stage in order to reduce the amount of
clipping.

The gain control uses a linear potentiometer, but the impedances
loading the wiper to ground make the pot approximate an audio
taper over most of its rotation. After the wiper, RC networks roll
off the low end, if the LF filter is set for that channel, at either 30
or 50 Hz, depending on the DIP switch setting on the rear panel.
The next active device is another 5532 op amp, U101:2. Its output
drives the driver transistors, which in turn drive the output transistors. The output section has a Class AB+B configuration; the
drivers (a complementary pair, Q105 and Q106, comprising an NPN
MJE15032 and a PNP MJE 15033) are class AB. A series network
of two diodes and a 100-ohm trimpot provide the small amount of
forward bias on the transistor pair to keep crossover distortion
minimal. In parallel with the trimpot is a 50-ohm thermistor with a
negative temperature coefficient; as the circuitry warms, its
resistance decreases. This reduces VBE on both Q105 and Q106,
decreasing the bias current to reduce the threat of thermal runaway.
The base of each driver transistor is tied to ground through a diode
and a 2.2K trimpot in series; these set the current limiting threshold
for their respective signal polarities.
The collector of each driver transistor directly drives the bases of
its output transistors, which are the main power-handling signal
devices. If you’re not familiar with the grounded-collector scheme,
the arrangement of the output transistors might look somewhat
strange: the positive voltage swings are handled by PNP transistors, while the negative swings are handled by NPN devices. The
collectors all connect to ground, which allows them to be mounted
directly to the heat sink—metal-to-metal, without insulators in
between—for the best possible transfer of heat away from the
transistors. The emitters of the PNP and NPN transistors are
coupled through resistors to the positive and negative supply rails,
respectively, forming banks of common-emitter circuits driving the
supply rails. Consequently, the devices drive the rails with the
audio signal, which rides atop the DC. The output to the speaker
load is taken from the point between the positive and negative
reservoir capacitors; this is also where the negative feedback is
taken from. The nature of this arrangement, with audio signal
riding on the supply rails, is why the power supply has no ground
reference.
Another unusual characteristic of the grounded-collector output
section is that the signal at the output to the speaker is actually
opposite in polarity to the signal at the op amp output. This is why
the negative feedback resistor, R122, connects to the op amp’s
non-inverting input instead of the inverting input.
The output point of the circuit couples to the output connector
through an RLC network (R160, R161, R162, L100, and C124) that
serves as a high-frequency snubber and also helps keep the amp
circuitry stable when driving capacitive loads.
Clip detection
The output of the op amp also drives a group of four diodes (D102,
D103, D105, and D106) arranged as a full-wave rectifier. Normally,
the op amp’s output signal level is about 1 volt or less, which is all
it takes to drive the driver transistors.
But because this point is within the overall feedback loop, when
clipping occurs, the op amp puts out a much higher signal voltage
to try to make the output signal track the input. The four diodes
rectify the voltage to drive the clip indicator LED, LD100. The
current exiting the full-wave rectifier passes to ground through
R127 and also drives the base of transistor Q100 through R115. If
the clip limiter is switched on, Q100’s emitter is grounded, and
when the voltage across R127 goes sufficiently negative to
forward-bias Q100, which sends current through R111 and R103
into the amplifier bias input of the operational transconductance
amplifier (OTA), U10:1. The OTA is in the negative feedback loop of
U101:1, and increasing its transconductance essentially reduces
the impedance of the feedback loop, which reduces the gain of the
op amp stage. This reduces the signal level until the amount of
clipping is minimal. When the clipping stops, Q100 is no longer
forward-biased, and the gain returns to normal.
DC protection
The ISA750 and ISA800T have a crowbar circuit, based on a triac
and two silicon controlled rectifiers, on each output to protect
against DC faults. If an amp channel puts out a DC voltage, which
could be the result of a component or circuit failure, it will first
trigger either D119 or D120, depending on the polarity of the
Technical Service Manual11

Page 14
voltage. The triggered SCR will in turn trigger triac Q113, shorting
the output to ground through fuse F100. The fuse will blow,
safeguarding the speaker load from the DC fault.
The output sections of the ISA280, ISA300T, ISA450, and ISA500T
are AC coupled.
Class H
The ISA750 and ISA800Ti utilize a two-tier Class H output section.
It is essentially a Class AB+B circuit but with two sets of bipolar
supply rails. On both the positive and the negative sets of rails, a
comparator circuit, called a “step driver,” compares the audio
signal to the lower rail voltage. When necessary to fully reproduce
the signal’s voltage swing—just before the signal voltage reaches
the lower rail voltage—the step driver turns on a TMOS power FET
to pull the output transistors’ supply rail up from the lower voltage
to the higher one, and then back down again when the signal
allows. By keeping the transistors’ supply rails low whenever
possible, the devices dissipate less unused power and generate
less waste heat, making the amplifier more efficient than a
straight class AB amplifier with the same power points.
The comparators are 311-type ICs: U170 on the positive step and
U171 on the negative. Each one drives a high-gain complementary
transistor pair (2N3904 + 2N3906), which drive the gate of their
respective MOSFET.
The ISA 1350 has a three-tier Class H output section. It works in
much the same way as the two-tier arrangement, but the
additional step further increases the amplifier’s electrical
efficiency.
Bridged mono operation and protection
When the amplifier is operated in bridged mono, its two channels
work in tandem to produce up to twice the voltage swing that a
single channel is capable of. To do this, Channel 2 produces a
signal identical to Channel 1’s, but opposite in polarity—in other
words, a mirror image.
Channel 2’s signal feed (bus BR_MONO_FEED) is an attenuated
version of the signal on Channel 1’s speaker bus. Closing DIP
switch #6 (set to “BRIDGE MONO ON”), connects the
BR_MONO_FEED bus on Channel 1 to the BR_RET bus on Channel
2. The BR_RET bus drives the non-inverting input of op amp
U201:2 directly.
With two channels operating as one, but each having its own
feedback and protection circuitry, it is vital to keep both running as
mirror images. A protection circuit monitors the balance between
Channel 1’s and Channel 2’s signals. Resistors R22 and R23 (R22A,
R22B, R23A, and R23B in the ISA 750 and ISA 800T) are equal in
value and form a voltage divider between the two channel outputs.
If the output signals are mirror images, the voltage at the junction
of the resistors (bus BR_BAL) will be zero. If the signals are not
mirror images—for example, one channel is defunct, distorting, or
reduced in gain—a voltage will appear on BR_BAL. Through DIP
switch 7, the BR_BAL bus becomes bus BR_CUT and feeds the
bases of transistors Q8 and Q6, which are part of a 4-transistor
circuit across the +15V and -15V rails that supply the op amps and
the input circuitry. If the voltage on BR_CUT goes positive enough
to forward-bias Q8, the transistor’s collector will collapse the +15V
rail. At the same time, the emitter current from Q8 will flow
through R25 and into the emitter of Q7, forward-biasing it, too.
The collector of Q7 will then collapse the -15V rail.
Similarly, if BR_BAL goes sufficiently negative, it will forward-bias
Q6, in turn forward-biasing Q9, and these will collapse the ±15V
rails.
With the rails collapsed, the op amp and the input circuitry will not
function, which will mute the audio.
Output transformers and autoformers
The amplifiers whose model numbers end in “T” have a tapped
autoformer on each channel output. The autoformer allows a
channel to drive distributed speaker lines by converting the output
voltage to an appropriate level. For example, either channel of the

ISA300T (Figure 1.11) can put out a maximum signal level of about
34 volts rms at its low-impedance output terminals, but the
autoformer steps it up to about 70 volts (between the 0 and
terminals) or 100 volts (between the 0 and
driving lines of those respective voltages. Also, the channel can
drive a 25-volt line connected across the 70 and
Note that one side of the output is at chassis ground potential.
The “T” models were replaced by the “Ti” ones, which use
transformers to develop the 25-, 70-, and 100-volt outputs (Figure
1.12). The main benefit is the full electrical isolation between the
primary (the amplifier’s internal circuitry) and the secondary (the
distributed loudspeaker line), which some electrical and safety
codes may require.

1.7 ISA1350 circuitry
Compared to the utter simplicity of the lower power ISA models
like the ISA280, the ISA1350’s circuitry might seem so complex
that it should belong to another family of power amps. This added
complexity primarily concerns two particular areas of the amplifier—the class H power supply rail steps and the bias circuitry—
and provides these benefits:
• Three-tier class H output section—the additional tier
further exploits the dynamic nature of audio to improve the
amplifier’s electrical efficiency to as much as 55% better than a
class AB amplifier of a comparable power rating. Despite the
added circuitry and complexity, this allows substantial savings
in components and materials costs by scaling down power
transformers, using fewer output devices, and removing less
waste heat.
• Improved thermal bias tracking and better fault protec-tion muting—instead of using a simple bias network based on
a series diode pair, the ISA1350 features an “active” bias
network that uses current sources to set bias. An NTC thermistor mounted to the heat sink tracks the operating temperature of the output devices and directs the current sources to
compensate for optimal bias; the thermal tracking circuitry is
thus isolated from the audio signal, so it can perform with
great precision. The protection circuits for faults, overcurrent,
etc., are also tied into the bias network, so they can shut off
the bias if a serious problem occurs. Shutting off the bias then
shuts off current in the output transistors. This is a highly
effective and inherently balanced approach to fault protection,
which is especially important in a very high power amplifier.
This is also how the turn-on and turn-off muting is handled.
100V
Class H step drivers
The step driver circuitry in the ISA1350’s three-tier class H system
is very similar to the one used in the two-tier system of the ISA750
and ISA800Ti. Since the normal voltage limit for 1206-type
surface-mount resistors is 200 volts and the voltages that the step
driver’s voltage sensing resistors see may reach 300 volts, the
ISA1350 uses 100 kΩ 1206 resistors in series pairs instead of
single 200 kΩ components.
Bias circuitry
The new circuitry (see Figure 1.13) for the bias network features
transistors Q108 and Q109, with surrounding resistors, forming 8
mA current sources, with less loading of the op amp output than
the resistors used on older RMX and ISA models. These currents
forward bias diodes D106 and D107, which are in contact with the
heat sink. Trimmer R171 adjusts the bias voltage.
The bias currents are controlled by signals +BIAS and –BIAS,
which come from a current source Q142, Q143, and R250. The
single voltage across R250 determines the voltage across both
R161 and R166, which sets the bias currents equally for the PNP
and NPN drivers.
The voltage on R250 is controlled by the voltage at the collector of
Q132, which forms a Vbe multiplier controlled by R226 and R227.
The collector voltage is a multiple of the base voltage, with a
nominal value of 5.45 times the base voltage. A typical 25°C base
voltage is 0.68 V, resulting in a collector voltage of 4.4 V. The
current thru R233 subtracts about 1 V from this, and stabilizes the
voltage against changes in supply voltage. As the amplifier heats
up, the base voltage declines somewhat, and therefore, the BIAS
signals are reduced, which adds more thermal compensation.
The thermal sensor R239 is a 10 kΩ NTC resistor (not a PTC as
used in the other models); its resistance decreases with rising
temperature. This increases voltage across R240, and thus reduces
voltage between Q142 and Q143, which reduces bias currents. The
voltage on R240 ranges from almost zero when cold, to about 0.6 V
at maximum temperature.
Muting via the bias network
Muting occurs when the emitter current for Q141 is removed, thus
shutting down Q142 and Q143 and removing all bias from the
output section. The emitter current for Q141, through R238, is
controlled by the voltage on C131.
• When the amp is turned on, C131 ramps up from zero, using a
small current from R220. When the voltage on C131 exceeds
the voltage on the collector of Q132 (the bias reference
voltage), Q141 is turned on, and the bias circuit is enabled.
• When the amp is turned off, circuitry on the AC board pulls
down on D119 and quickly discharges C131, thus muting the
amplifier.
• When the amplifier reaches full temperature, circuitry on the
AC board senses the voltage on the FAN-SP line, from D122,
and triggers the discharge circuit for D119, thus muting the
amplifier.

3. Troubleshooting: Symptoms, causes, & remedies
When first checking the operation of an amplifier on the bench,
always turn your variable transformer down to zero before
plugging the amplifier in. After you turn the amplifier on, gradually
turn up the AC voltage as you observe the amplifier’s behavior and
its current draw; this will help you determine what, if anything, is
wrong with it. If you see or smell smoke, flames, or any other signs
of short circuits or excessive current draw, quickly turn the AC back
down to zero. If no such problems occur, it is usually safe to turn
the AC up to the amplifier’s full operating voltage for further
testing.
3.1 Excessive current draw
The customer complains of blowing circuit breakers or fuses, or
burning smell or smoke.
Symptoms covered:
• Fuses blow immediately
• The amplifier quickly gets very hot
• Line circuit breakers trip at turn-on
• The amplifier hums loudly and the chassis vibrates
• The amplifier emits smoke
• The amplifier gives off a burning smell
If the symptoms indicate a possible problem in the channel circuits
or output sections, you can isolate either channel module from the
power supply by pulling its fuses from the AC board.
Possible situations:
Excessive current with no signal present
If the amplifier seems to run hot and draws higher-than-normal
current when idling at full AC voltage, the cause could be bias
misadjustments in the output circuitry of one or both channels. See
the calibration procedures in the next section.
Fast increase in current draw (current increases rapidly at
only a few volts AC)
• The main bridge rectifiers BR100 and/or BR200 (all models) and
BR101 and/or BR201 (ISA750 and ISA800Ti) is reversed or
shorted.
• Supply clamp diode pairs D117 and D118 and/or D217 and D218
is reversed or shorted.
• The drivers and/or power transistors is shorted on both
polarities (NPN
and
PNP) on one or both channels.
Moderate increase in current draw (current increases
slowly, doesn’t become excessive until about ¼ of the
amplifier’s full AC operating voltage)
• One polarity’s drivers and/or power transistors (NPN or PNP) is
shorted, on one or both channels.
• Individual supply clamp diodes D117, D118, D217, or D218 is
reversed or shorted.
• Bias diodes D108, D109, D208, or D209 or bias trimpots R131 or
R231 is open.
Slow increase in current draw (current doesn’t become
excessive until about half of the amplifier’s full AC
operating voltage; amplifier may pass signal)
• The bias is severely misadjusted, or bias diodes D108, D109,
D208, or D209 is defective.
• An oscillation is causing excessive current demand.
Runaway current draw (current increases sharply at about
25 to 33% of the amplifier’s full AC operating voltage)
One or more reservoir capacitors is reversed. CAUTION: the gas
buildup in a reversed electrolytic capacitor can cause it
to vent explosively. Immediately turn off power and let the
capacitor cool down before replacing it.
3.2 Protection, muting, and turn-
on/turn-off delay problems
The customer complains of amplifier locking up, or not turning on
and off correctly.
Symptoms covered:
• Both channels do not come out of protect
• Amplifier will not thermally shut down when it should
• Power LED doesn’t light
• Too little or too much muting delay
• No clip limiting
• Fan doesn’t run, or runs always at high speed
Possible situations:
Both channels stay in protect after turn-on
• Q4 or Q5 is shorted base-to-emitter.
• Voltage across D8 should be 14 to 15 volts DC. If it is low, check
D8 and R10; also, C7 and C8 is leaky.
• D9, R4, and/or R7 is open.
The amplifier will not thermally shut down when it overheats
Check for shorted D9, R4, or R7; check also for open LD1 (“POWER”
LED), R2, or R5.

• R139 or R140 (Channel 1) or R239 or R240 (Channel 2) are
misadjusted.
• Check R157, R158, R198 (ISA750 and ISA800Ti only), D115, and
D116 (Channel 1) or R157, R258, R298 (ISA750 and ISA800Ti
only), D215, and D216 (Channel 2).
• (ISA280, ISA300Ti, ISA450, and ISA500Ti) Check R118 and R119

3.4 Instability
3.5 Power supply & rail balancing
The customer complains of gain problems, spurious noises, or oscillations.
Symptoms covered:
• General output distortion
• “Ringing” sound in loudspeaker trailing an audio signal
• Excessive crossover distortion
• The output waveform appears fuzzy on an oscilloscope
Distinguish among the different symptoms of fuzziness (instability),
ringing (momentary instability after a transition), crossover
distortion (often causing ringing), or general distortion.
Possible situations:
General distortion in the output signal
• Severe distortion, at any load, often with abnormally high
current draw: check the slew rate capacitors C114, C115, and
C116 (Channel 1) or C214, C215, and C216 (Channel 2).
• Moderate distortion, especially with light loading: stability
capacitors C124 and C126 (Channel 1) or C224 and C226 is too
high in capacitance; also check the slew rate capacitors C114,
C115, and C116 (Channel 1) or C214, C215, and C216 (Channel
2), and the output filter resistors R161, R162, R154, and R155
(Channel 1) or R261, R262, R254, or R255 (Channel 2).
• Distortion with low gain: check the feedback shunt components
R120, R138, and C125 (Channel 1) or R220, R238, or C225
(Channel 2); also check for broken circuit traces around the
components; U101 (Channel 1) or U201 (Channel 2) is defective
or its socket is contaminated.
Ringing sound trailing the audio signal
• This usually indicates marginal instability and is usually
triggered by the signal passing through zero volts (the crossover
point). Check the stability components and output filters.
• With a sine wave test signal, use an oscilloscope to check for
excessive crossover notch at the output signal’s zero crossings.
Excessive crossover distortion (unbalanced, asymmetrical,
or excessively large crossover notch)
• Severe crossover discontinuity: bias diodes D108 or D109
(Channel 1) or D208 or D209 (Channel 2) are shorted.
• Moderate discontinuity: bias diodes D108 or D109 (Channel 1)
or D208 or D209 (Channel 2) are out of spec.
• R131 (Channel 1) or R231 (Channel 2) is defective.
• Base resistors R136 or R137 (Channel 1) or R236 or R237
(Channel 2) are open. Also check the NTC thermistors R134
(Channel 1) or R234 (Channel 2).
problems
Symptoms covered:
• Insufficient or excessive current limiting into a shorted load
• Op amp rails too high with a shorted load
• Uneven voltages on supply rails
A channel’s output current should remain unaffected when driving
resistive loads as low as 2 ohms per channel. When driving a short
circuit, the current limiting circuit should collapse the output to a
lower current. This is done by dropping the op amp’s supply rails
from a normal ±14–15 volts down to about ±5–6 volts. Normally,
the output signal helps replenish the op amp supply rails through
D115 and D116 (Channel 1) and D215 and D216 (Channel 2), but a
short circuit or excessively low load impedance prevents the
replenishment, and the op amp rails collapse because they can’t
supply enough current to let the op amp drive both the clip LED and
the driver transistors. The current limit trimpots R139, R140, R239,
and R240 permit adjustment of the current limit thresholds. See
the RMX calibration section of this manual for adjustment
procedures.
Possible situations:
Excessive current into short (insufficient limiting)
• If the op amp rails are dropping to ±5 to 6 volts as they should:
the 5.6V zener diodes D107 and/or D110 (Channel 1) or D207
and/or D210 (Channel 2) are reversed or shorted.
• If high crossover distortion is present: bias diodes D108 or D109
(Channel 1) or D208 or D209 (Channel 2) are shorted.
Excessive current into short (op amp rails are not dropping)
• The op amp U101 (Channel 1) or U201 (Channel 2) is defective,
with insufficient output current.
• Clip LED LD100 (Channel 1) or LD200 (Channel 2) and/or its
rectifying diodes (Channel 1: D102, D103, D105, D106; Channel 2:
D202, D203, D205, D206) are open.
• When driving a short circuit, the output section’s positive and
negative supply rail voltages should be equal, within 3 volts. If
they aren’t, check D107, D110, R146, and R147 (Channel 1) or
D207, D210, R246, and R247 (Channel 2).

• Bias resistors R130 and R132 (Channel 1) or R230 and R232

• Driver transistors (Channel 1: Q105, Q106; Channel 2: Q205,
Q206) have very low gain.
• One or more emitter resistors in the output section are open.

weak driver transistors, open output transistors, or open emitter
resistors. Check the value of the driver transistors’ emitter
resistors, too: R146 and R147 (Channel 1) or R246 and R247
(Channel 2).
Rail voltages unequal
The balance between the positive and negative rail voltages is set
by a voltage divider comprising resistors R118 and R119 (Channel
1) and R218 and R219 (Channel 2). If the amplifier channel passes
a signal but clips unevenly due to unequal rail voltages, this
voltage divider is the likely culprit.

4. ISA calibration procedures
4.1 Setting bias
Always set the bias
• after replacing any output or driver transistor.
• after replacing any diode or resistor in the driver/output
circuitry.
• if the amplifier seems to run too hot at idle.
• if the amplifier exhibits crossover distortion.
The bias network sets the quiescent base current in the NPN and
PNP driver transistors, which in turn sets the quiescent current in
the output transistors. The driver transistors should both be
slightly “on” at idle so that the transitions of the signal voltage
between positive and negative are smooth and free of gaps or
glitches. Too much bias current will cause the amplifier to run
hotter than it should, especially at idle, while too little will cause
noticeable crossover distortion, especially at low signal levels.
The amplifier circuitry must be cool, or at least within a couple
degrees of ambient air temperature, and the top cover must be
removed. If the driver and output transistors are significantly
warmer than the ambient air, leave the amplifier off and let it cool
before proceeding.
Before turning the amplifier on to set bias on one or both
channels, familiarize yourself with the locations of the trimpots
(R131 and R231, or R171 of the ISA1350) and the voltage measuring points so you can work quickly but thoroughly (in all models
except the ISA1350, the trimpots for the lower module are located
on a small auxiliary circuit board). If the amplifier warms up before
you finish setting the bias, you will need to shut the amplifier off
and let it cool down before you resume.
To set bias on the ISA1350, first remove the screws holding the
channel module/heat sink assembly to the chassis. Lift the
assembly up from the chassis standoffs and set it down inside the
chassis resting on the heat sinks. Do not disconnect any wires. This
gives you equal access to both channels’ adjuments and measurement points.
Tools and resources you will need:
• Small flat screwdriver (non-conductive) for adjusting trimpots
• DC voltmeter
• AC power
Procedure
1.Turn the amplifier’s gain controls all the way down. No test
signal is needed.
2.Plug the amplifier into an appropriate AC source. Turn the
amplifier on.
3.Channel 1: Locate resistor R147 (except ISA1350: R199 on the
upper module) and trimpot R131 (except ISA1350: R171 on
the upper module). While measuring the DC voltage across
resistor, adjust the trimpot to obtain the voltage listed in
Table 1.
4.Channel 2: Locate resistor R247 (except ISA1350: R199 on the
lower module) and trimpot R231 (except ISA1350: R171 on
the lower module). While measuring the DC voltage across
resistor, adjust the trimpot to obtain the voltage listed in
Table 1.
After setting the bias in any model except the ISA1350, calibrate
the positive and negative current limiting; instructions for the
procedure follow in part 4.2.
4.2 Setting positive and negative
current limits
All models except the ISA1350 have adjustable positive and
negative current limiting thresholds. To provide better access, the
adjustment trimpots for the lower module are located on a small
auxiliary circuit board. Current limiting in the ISA1350 is not
adjustable.
Tools and resources you will need
• Oscilloscope
• 2-ohm resistive load (rated for at least 1200 watts)
• Shorting connector for amplifier output
• Variable AC transformer (e.g., Variac, Powerstat, etc.) rated for
25A (120V) or 12A (230V). Make sure the AC supply is appropriate for the amplifier.
• 1 kHz audio sine wave generator
• Digital multimeter
• Clamp-on digital current meter (e.g., Fluke 30 Clamp Meter)
• Small flat screwdriver (non-conductive) for adjusting trimpots
Procedure
1.Set the audio sine generator to 1 kHz at 1 volt RMS and
connect it to Channel 1's input. Connect a 2-ohm load and the
oscilloscope probe across Channel 1's output.
2.Turn up Channel 1's gain control partway. On the oscilloscope
you should see the amplitude of the sine wave increase
accordingly.
3.Turn the gain control back down and apply a short circuit
across the output terminals of Channel 1. Clamp a current
probe either onto one of the brown wires running to the AC
switch or onto the gray output wire from channel 1's module.
4.Turn the gain control all the way up. Adjust trimpots R139 and
R140 equally until the current measured falls within the range
shown in Table 1.
5.Turn the gain control all the way down and remove the short
circuit so the channel drives the 2-ohm load. Turn the gain control
Technical Service Manual21
ISA Series Power Amplifiers
Page 24
back up until the output clips. The voltage at which the signal
starts to clip should fall within the range shown in Table 1. If
the clipping is asymmetrical, that is, the signal clips on either
the positive or negative side first, adjust R139 to make it
symmetrical.
6.Turn the gain control down. If the amp has begun to warm up
shut it off and let it cool a few minutes before proceeding
with Channel 2.
7.Repeat steps 1 through 5 for Channel 2. Use trimpots R239
and R240 to adjust the current limiting in steps 11 and 12.
8.Turn both channels’ gain controls all the way down. Clamp the
ammeter onto one of the amp’s AC wires and check the amp’s
idle current. If the amplifier is still at about room temperature, the idle current should match the value shown in
Table 1.

5. Servicing ISA amplifiers
5.1 Mechanical disassembly and re-assembly
Replacing components will usually require removing the channel modules and/or AC board from the amplifier chassis, especially on the ISA280,
ISA300T, ISA300Ti, ISA450, ISA500T, and ISA500Ti, which have single-side printed circuit boards. The ISA750, ISA800T, ISA800Ti, and
ISA1350 have double-side boards; many of the through-hole components on the upper side of the board can be unsoldered and soldered from
the top side of the board, so removing modules or boards is not always necessary.
See the fold-out assembly guides in Chapter 7 of this manual for assistance.
NOTE: The upper channel module is Channel 1 and the lower is Channel 2
Channel 1, and their upper is Channel 2.
Removing the channel modules
1.Disconnect the amplifier from AC power and allow at least 10 minutes for internal voltages to bleed down.
2.Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the screws that fasten the top cover to the chassis. Also remove the top cover’s four recessed
screws that fasten it to the heat sinks. As you remove screws, set them aside, but also make note of where each type is used so you
can properly re-assemble the amplifier.
3.Lift the top cover up at the rear and carefully pull it toward the back, removing the five hooks on the front edge from their slots in the
chassis.
4.Tip the amplifier up on its side and remove the four screws that fasten the heat sink to the chassis.
5.Set the amplifier back down and remove the three screws that mount the channel module assembly to the chassis standoffs.
6.Disconnect the wire and cable connections to the channel modules. All of the connections are either detachable headers or ¼-inch
quick-connect tabs that are disconnected by pulling them straight up. No unsoldering is necessary.
7.Lift the channel module assembly out from the chassis. If you need access to the underside of the circuit boards, unscrew the
transistors and the clamps from the heat sink, then unscrew the circuit boards from the mounting plate..
8.Before reassembling the channel module assembly, lightly apply fresh heat sink compound over the old coating on the side of the
semiconductors that mount to the heat sink. Re-assembly is the opposite of disassembly.

Removing the AC board
The AC board provides AC voltage selection, rectification of the transformer secondary current, and a regulated DC supply for the cooling
fan. It seldom needs to be replaced unless it is physically damaged itself. Most failures involving the AC board can be repaired through
replacement of individual components.
WARNING: Regulatory and safety agencies require that any operating voltage conversions from 120 volts to any other voltage
be done
or international distributor.
1.Disconnect the amplifier from AC power and allow at least 10 minutes for internal voltages to bleed down.
2.Remove the four screws that fasten the fan, fan shroud, and fan guard to the chassis. Lift the fan shroud out from the chassis.
3.Disconnect the wires that connect to the channel modules. All of the large single wires attach to the channel modules with ¼-inch
4.Remove the five screws that attach the AC board to the chassis standoffs. Lift the board out from the chassis.
5.Re-assembly is the opposite of disassembly. If you’re using a new AC board, slide new pieces of heat shrink tubing over the

quick-connect tabs that are detached by pulling them straight up. The remaining three black wires disconnect at the left channel
module with a detachable header.
If you are planning to replace the AC board with another, carefully cut each of the transformer wires connecting to the board just
above its solder tab. You must leave enough slack to allow connection to the new AC board. Remove the old heat shrink tubing from
the wires and strip the wire ends about 0.25 inch or 6.3 mm.

use a heat gun or other heat source to shrink them tightly.
