DESCRIPTION
The Shure Model 1200 AUDIOMASTER® Powermixer is a
compact, flexible microphone mixer with six inputs for high- or
low-impedance sources and a 200-watt power amplifier. The
1200 is human-engineered for ease of setup and operation.
Connection of microphones, speakers and other equipment
(tape recorder, equalizer, effects device, remote amp, etc.) is
fast and convenient.
The 1200 is rack-mountable or portable. Its 6 inputs are
expandable to 8 or 10 inputs through the use of A1200MX
Expansion Kits. Inputs accept both high- and low-impedance
microphones (dynamic, ribbon or condenser), as well as ampli-
fied instruments or other high-level sources. Individual channel
input attenuators with overload indicators permit precise gain
control to prevent input overload. The 1200 has built-in rever-
beration with individual channel and overall level adjustments.
Other effects devices or an equalizer can be connected through
a post-master control program loop. An integral power amp
limiter prevents overload distortion over a wide signal input
range. Pre-volume monitor send controls and pre-master volume tape output provide maximum versatility in stage or recording applications. The control panel has color-coded knobs for
ease of adjustments, while LED indicators give instant notice of
operating status.
In addition to the A1200MX Expansion Module, the following
accessories are available for the 1200: A1200C Carrying Case,
A95UF Line Matching Transformer, RKC209 240 V Conversion
Kit, and M64A Phono Preamplifier.
The 1200 is Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., and
listed by Canadian Standards Association as certified.

FOR YEARS OF DEPENDABLE OPERATION...
The AUDIOMASTER® System is exceptionally well designed,
with all components of the highest quality, operating well within
their respective ratings to assure long life. The following list of
Do’s and Don’ts describes minimal operating precautions and
maintenance to provide years of dependable service.
DO
use a 16 AWG or larger, heavy-duty, 3-conductor extension
cord when additional line cord length is needed.
DON’T replace the rear-panel fuse with a different size or type.
Use only 5 A, 250 V, Type 3AG.
DON’T operate the Powermixer with its air vents blocked; don’t
place it on a radiator or heat-producing equipment. Avoid operation in direct, hot sunlight.
DO unplug the Powermixer before cleaning. Use only mild
detergent and a damp (never wet) cloth to clean the outer
SYMPTOM
Powermixer is “dead” (no output, POWER LED off)
OVERLOAD LED illuminates, either
A.
Flickering with program material, indicating abnormal
speaker load
B.
Continuously to indicate power amplifier shutdown
No signal at speaker (all other functions appear normal), either
A. NORMAL LED illuminated, or
B. NORMAL LED not illuminated
Fuse blown
One of two inputs on same channel not working properly (both
1/4-inch and 3-pin jacks in use)
surfaces; Don’t use strong solvents or cleaning fluids.
DON't use unbalanced low-impedance microphones with the
PHANTOM 24V switch on; turn off the switch if not required for
powering condenser microphones. If phantom power is in use,
connect unbalanced low-impedance microphones through a
line matching transformer (Shure A95UF) to a HI Z input. Phantom power will not affect balanced low-impedance dynamic
microphones.
DON’T risk fire or shock hazard by operating the Model 1200
in the rain.
TROUBLESHOOTlNG
Should any difficulty be encountered in operation of your AUDIOMASTER System, the trouble can often be traced to some
simple source. The following is offered as a basic guide to
solving this kind of problem.
PROBABLE CAUSE AND CORRECTION
1.
Check that ac power source is “live” and Model 1200 is
plugged in.
2. Check that POWER switch is on.
3.
Check that rear panel fuse (5 A, 250 V) is good.
4.
If the 1200 has turned off due to excessive internal temperatures, allow at least an hour for cooling, and reactivate unit.
If difficulty persists, refer to General Service Procedure in
this manual.
1.
Check total speaker load (must be no lower than 4 ohms)
and for possible shorted speaker cable.
1.
Check air vents for blockage.
2.
Check that internal fan is operating (fan located on rear
panel).
3.
Turn MASTER volume control down for several minutes to
allow proper cooling. If difficulty persists, refer to General
Service Procedure.
1.
Check for defective or improperly connected speaker cables.
1. Check settings of channel VOLUME and MASTER VOLUME
controls.
2. Check connections to EXTERNAL DEVICE LOOP
1. Replace with identical fuse (5 A, 250 V, 3AG).
2.
If second fuse blows, refer to General Service Procedure.
1.
Make sure similar microphones are used on both inputs,
and microphone impedances match the inputs used.
2.
Make sure a low-impedance microphone is not used with
aux level equipment on other input.
3.
Make sure MIC/AUX switch is in MIC position (Ch. 1 and 2
only).
4.
Make sure microphone switches are on; check microphone
cables.

SYMPTOM
INPUT OVERLOAD LED flashing
NOTE: Occasional flashing is acceptable
Loud clicks when certain microphones or cables are used
No MONITOR output (program output normal)
Sound quality poor (weak or thin)
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
PROBABLE CAUSE AND CORRECTION
1.
Adjust INPUT ATTENUATION counterclockwise to reduce
channel input level.
2.
Reduce input signal level at source.
1. Make sure PHANTOM 24V switch is not on (when not needed).
2. Make sure unbalanced low-impedance microphone or cable
is not used when PHANTOM switch is on.
3.
Check for defective microphone cables.
1.
Make sure channel MONITOR and MONITOR MASTER
controls are turned up.
2.
Make sure controls on external equipment connected to
Monitor output jack are turned up.
3.
Check for defective cable from MONITOR output jack.
1.
Check for excessive treble boost or bass cut on equalization
controls.
2.
Check PROGRAM and MONITOR output jacks for signal
quality (if acceptable, problem is in power amplifier section).
3.
Check for defective cables.
4.
Check impedance match (high- or low-impedance mics)
at input.
EXTERNAL PARTS
The knobs and feet can be replaced without disassembling
the 1200. All knobs are of the pull-off type, and are color-coded
by function. The Equalization knobs are dual concentric types;
all other knobs are single.
DIAGNOSIS
A simple method of localizing problems without opening the
1200 is as follows. Turn off the Power switch. Do not connect a
speaker or headphone load. Set all controls of the channel
under test only to full clockwise (other channel volume and
monitor controls full counterclockwise), except: Reverb Return
full counterclockwise, and Eq controls centered. Turn the unit
on and apply a 0.5 mV, 1 kHz test signal across pins 2 and 3 of
one of the Bal Lo Z input connectors. Normal voltmeter readings
taken at each output connector are given in Table 1. Similarly, a
5 mV signal inserted in a HI Z input, 50 mV in an AUX input, or
891 mV in the Power Amp and Monitor Inputs will yield similar
output voltages. This method is useful for saving time in localizing problem areas. Internal servicing should be performed only
by qualified service personnel.

WARNING
Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
EXTERNAL FUSE REPLACEMENT
To replace line fuse F1 (with no apparent problems in the
Powermixer), disconnect the line cord from the ac source and
remove the rear panel fuseholder cap by pushing it in and
turning it counterclockwise (either a screwdriver or fingertip
may be used.) Replace the defective fuse only with a 5A 250V
Normal Blow type.
CAUTION
If trouble symptoms (overheating, erratic operation, etc.)
were apparent before the fuse blew, or if the replacement
fuse blows, a qualified service person should trouble-
shoot the Powermixer carefully to find the source of the
problem. Do not continue to replace fuses; have the
trouble corrected.
SERVICE ACCESS
Disconnect the 1200 from its power source. To open the unit
for servicing, remove ten screws and lockwashers from the top
and five from each side of the cover. The cover can then be
lifted off exposing the internal parts (see Figure 1).

After replacing high-voltage parts such as the fan, power
WARNING
cord, rear panel convenience receptacle, or printed wiring assemblies SHR-11, SHR-12, or SHR-14 (or their
components), make certain that a dielectric voltage
breakdown test is performed before connecting the unit
to a power supply. With the unit disconnected from the ac
source, turn the unit on and measure the resistance
between the ground contact of the power plug and each
of the other two prongs. This resistance should measure
infinite. Then measure the resistance between the plug
ground and exposed metal parts of the chassis, screws,
connectors, fan grille, etc. This resistance should be zero
ohms. If any measurements are recorded outside the
specified limits, a shock hazard exists. The unit must be
repaired and rechecked before it is returned to operation.
IMPORTANT: When removing any printed wiring board, be sure
the wires and connectors detached from the board are identified
for proper reconnection. This may be done by affixing a piece
of masking tape marked with the reference designation
(connectors) or terminal letter or color (wires).
NOTE: Any cable ties that were loosened or removed must be
tightened or replaced after servicing.
Similar wire colors and connectors with the same number
CAUTION
of pins are used in different circuits; make sure proper
reconnections are made. Push-on connectors must be
removed by pulling straight out. The side of a small screwdriver blade inserted between the free and fixed connector
can sometimes be helpful in separating the connector.
Do not apply side force when removing or reconnecting
terminals, or damage may result. Reference to the service
illustrations will be helpful in case of difficulty.
GENERAL SERVICE PROCEDURE
To isolate a problem area, a general procedure is as follows. If
the Powermixer is completely dead, check the ac power source,
line cord, and fuses (external and internal). If the unit turns on
but operation is abnormal, check the chassis power supply
output (-56 Vdc between test point SHR-11-AB and ground,
and +56 Vdc between test point SHR-11-AA and ground; -15
Vdc across C1421, +15 Vdc across C1420, and +24 Vdc
between P1404-A and ground). If the measured dc voltages are
correct, perform additional AC and DC Voltage Measurements
as described below to isolate the problem.

coils approximately 40 ohms.
2.
Transformers may be checked for continuity of each winding.
3. To test transistors, ICs and diodes, refer to the section on
CHECKING ACTIVE COMPONENTS.
To replace the reverb pan, connect the white lead connector
to the reverb Input and the orange lead connector to the reverb
Output. Use the previously removed screws to secure the reverb
pan to the reverb shield, and to secure the shield to the chassis
bottom and the parallel vertical interior shield. Be sure to replace
any cable ties that were removed or loosened.
SHR-11 AND SHR-12 POWER AMP BOARD ASSEMBLY
The Power Amplifier Board Assembly consists of SHR-11
and SHR-12 mounted on the large aluminum heat sink. To
separate the heat sink and its associated boards from the 1200,
remove the screws holding the sink to the power transformer
shield bracket, and those holding the sink to the metal shield
that divides the fan from the input and output connectors and
boards. Disconnect the connectors from P1101, P1102 and
P1201, and unsolder the red, green, and white leads from AA,
AB and AC, respectively, on SHR-11. (The opposite ends of
leads AA and AB are connected to SHR-14, Main Board; the
opposite end of lead AC is connected to SHR-13, Speaker
Output Board.) The Power Amp Board is now free of the 1200.
To replace parts on SHR-11, it is then necessary to remove
SHR-11 from the large heat sink. Do this by removing the four
Phillips screws holding the power transistors at the corners of
the board, and the two Phillips screws holding the board on the
brass standoffs.
NOTES:
1.
Removal of SHR-11 from the heat sink may damage the
insulators below the power transistors. Therefore, when
servicing SHR-11, be prepared to replace all four 802639FK
insulators. If either predriver transistor Q1103 or Q1104
(mounted on the vertical heat sink fastened to SHR-11)
is replaced, be prepared to replace insulator 802681FK
beneath it.
2.
If transistor Q1105, mounted on the solder side of board
SHR-11, is replaced or if the board has been removed from
the heat sink, make certain that Q1105 physically contacts
the large heat sink after reassembly of the board to the heat
sink is completed. Apply a small amount of Wakefield Type
120 Thermal Joint Compound to the top surface of the
transistor in order to ensure proper heat transfer.

REVERB PAN
To remove the reverb pan assembly, turn the 1200 on its side
(power transformer down) and remove the three screws holding
the reverb shield to the chassis bottom. Turn the 1200 upright
and remove the screw holding the reverb shield to the standoff
attached to the parallel vertical interior shield. Disconnect the
phono connectors at the bottom of the reverb pan assembly.
Remove the four screws holding the reverb pan to the vertical
metal interior shield, and lift the reverb shield and pan assembly
out of the chassis holding the pan to the shield. (If necessary to
free the reverb shield, remove the cable tie(s) holding the
orange and white leads to the metal shield.)
To replace SHR-11 in the 1200, solder the red, green and
white leads to AA, AB and AC. Connect the cable assembly with
three leads from P1405, SHR-14, to P1101 ; and connect the
cable with a single lead from P1407, SHR-14, to P1102.
SHR-11 POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENT
If any components are replaced on SHR-11, trimpots VR1101,
VR1102 and VR1103 may require readjustment. Measure the
SHR-11 voltages described in the following paragraphs. If
measured voltages are not correct, make adjustments as follows.
With power off, no input signal applied, and no load on the
1200’s speaker output, turn VR1103 completely clockwise. Turn
power on and allow unit to warm up or thermally stabilize for ten
minutes prior to making the adjustments. See Figure 2 for
trimpot locations.

Page 10
VR1101 OUTPUT VOLTAGE OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
1.
Connect a dc voltmeter between SHR-11 terminal AC and
ground (see Figure 2).
2.
Adjust VR1101 so that V1 equals 0 V ±15 mV
VR1102 DRIVER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
1.
Connect a dc voltmeter between CP1101 and ground (see
Figure 2).
2. Adjust VR1102 so that V2 equals 1.2 V.
VR1103 IDLE CURRENT ADJUSTMENT
1.
After the unit has been turned on for at least five minutes,
connect a dc voltmeter between R1126 and R1127 as shown
(see Figure 2) and check the idle current. If the value of V3
does not equal 6.6 mV ±3.3 mV, use a razor blade to carefully
remove from the top and side of VR1103 the old cement that
prevented its adjustment from changing.
2. Adjust VR1103 so that V3 equals 6.6 mV ±3.3 mV.
3. Apply a drop of cement (white glue, hot melt glue, caulk, etc.)
to VR1103 to eliminate movement due to vibration.
VR1201 TEMPERATURE SENSOR THRESHOLD ADJUSTMENT
If U1201 or other SHR-12 parts are replaced, VR1201 will
probably require recalibration as follows.
1.
Turn off the unit long enough for the heat sink to reach
ambient temperature. Remove all input signal sources and
speaker loads.
2.
Measure the heat sink temperature or ambient temperature
around the heat sink. Consult the graph in Figure 3 to
determine the proper voltage at test point CP1402.
3.
Attach a dc voltmeter between CP1402 (+) and ground (-).
4.
Apply power to the unit and quickly adjust potentiometer
VR1201 on SHR-12 until the proper voltage is reached.
SHR-11 POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS
FIGURE 2
SHR-12 TEMPERATURE SENSOR BOARD
To remove SHR-12 from the large heat sink, remove the
Power Amplifier Board Assembly from the 1200 as described
above. Then remove the two Phillips screws that hold SHR-12 to
the small vertical heat sink. When replacing SHR-12, U1201
(mounted on the solder side of the board) must physically
contact the vertical heat sink in order to ensure correct operation of the power amplifier over-temperature protection circuitry.
In addition, apply a small amount of Wakefield Type 120 Thermal
Joint Compound to the top surface of the IC to allow good heat
transfer.
TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN SENSOR CALIBRATION
FIGURE 3
SHR-14 MAIN BOARD
The 1200 contains four internal fuses mounted on the Main
Board (SHR-14). If replacement becomes necessary, replace
only with identical Normal Blow fuses: two 0.75 A 250 V, and two
8 A 250 V. Do not continue to replace fuses if a fuse continues to
blow; have the trouble corrected.
To remove SHR-14 from the chassis, remove the three Phillips
screws on each of the long sides of the board and the single
screw next to the two 8 A fuses on the short side of the board.
This will allow the board to be lifted free of the chassis. If it is
necessary to completely separate SHR-14 from the 1200,
remove all seven connectors (be sure to label the four 4-pin
connectors and their receptacles to ensure proper reattachment).
Unsolder the six transformer and two fan leads from pins AA
through AH, and the two ground leads connected to Al and AJ.
Be sure to label leads also so they can be resoldered to the
proper pins. Unsolder from connection pins AA and AB of
SHR-11 the red and green wires attached to the solder side of
SHR-14. (Remove cable ties as necessary.) The SHR-14 board
can now be completely detached from the 1200.

Page 11
If any of the heat-sink-mounted parts (voltage regulators
U1408, U1409 and U1410, or silicon rectifiers D1423 and D1424)
is replaced, be sure to apply a small amount of Wakefield Type
120 Thermal Joint Compound between the component and the
heat sink to allow maximum heat transfer.
A number of components on SHR-14 are mounted on spacing
insulators to keep them a measured distance from the board,
e.g., R1460, D1422. If any of these parts is replaced, be sure to
remount them the required distance above the board on spacing
insulators as originally supplied.
VR1401 POWER AMPLIFIER LIMITER THRESHOLD ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment is made under the following conditions.
1.
Terminate the Speaker Output in a 4-ohm resistive load.
2.
Set the Master control and trimpot VR1401 on SHR-14 fully
clockwise.
3.
Set the Limiter switch to Out.
4.
Connect the unit to a 120 Vac, 60 Hz power source and
switch the unit on.
5.
Drive one low-impedance input channel at 1 kHz with its
channel control fully clockwise. (Turn all the other input
channel Volume Controls fully counterclockwise.) Increase
the input signal until the signal at the Speaker Output just
visibly clips.
6.
Reduce the input signal level such that the output voltage
drops 1.5 dB.
7.
Switch the Limiter In. Slowly turn trimpot VR1401 counterclockwise until the output voltage drops an additional 0.2 dB.
REAR-PANEL BOARDS AND COMPONENTS
The following printed circuit boards and components are
mounted on the rear panel.
To remove SHR-02, remove the six 1/2-inch nuts on the input
jacks. Disconnect the four 3-pin connectors from the SHR-01
LO-Z INPUT BOARD and the two 3-pin connectors from the
SHR-03 AUX/MIC BOARD. Pull the board straight back to
disengage the jacks from the rear panel: SHR-02 can then be
completely separated from the 1200.
SHR-01 LO-Z INPUT BOARD
Remove the twelve screws (two per input) connecting the
XLR-type connectors to the rear panel. To remove SHR-01 without
first removing SHR-02 HI-Z INPUT BOARD, remove the four
Phillips screws that hold the rear panel to the chassis bottom.
Rest the unit on its side while performing this operation. Then
swivel the rear panel away from the chassis (it is still held by the
power cord). This allows SHR-01 to be pulled straight back and
away from the rear panel without being stopped by the interior
vertical metal shield. Disconnect the four 3-pin connectors (two
from SHR-03 and two from SHR-04 CHANNEL BOARDS) and
the four 4-pin connectors (from SHR-02 and SHR-04). (Be sure
to label all removed lead-connector assemblies.) Unsolder from
point AA the yellow lead from SHR-10 REAR PANEL INPUTOUTPUT BOARD: SHR-01 is now completely free of the 1200.
SHR-13 SPEAKER OUTPUT BOARD
To remove SHR-13 SPEAKER OUTPUT BOARD:
1.
Disconnect the 3-pin connector from P1301.
2. With a 1/2-inch nutdriver or wrench, remove the nuts holding
the speaker output jacks to the rear panel.
3.
Unsolder the leads from AA and AB.
4.
The SHR-13 board is now free of the 1200.
B1 FAN
To remove the fan:
1.
Remove the four screws, nuts, and starwashers at the four
corners of the fan grille. This frees the fan from the rear
panel.
2. Unsolder the black fan leads from pins AE and AG on SHR-14.
3.
If necessary to remove the fan from the 1200, slide the fan
leads out of the insulating tubing and separate the fan from
the unit.
For access to or replacement of any of these parts, turn
the 1200 on its side (power transformer down) and remove the
four Phillips screws that hold the rear panel to the chassis
bottom. The rear panel then can be separated sufficiently from
the chassis bottom to permit access to these boards and
components.
SHR-10 INPUT-OUTPUT BOARD
To remove SHR-10, use a 1/2-in. nutdriver to remove the nuts
on the five phone jacks. Carefully pull the board straight back
until the connectors are free of the rear panel. To separate the
board completely from the rear panel, remove the 6-pin and
4-pin connectors from P1001 and P1002. Unsolder the green
and red leads from the Phantom Power switch, and unsolder
from SHR-10 the yellow lead that connects AC on SHR-10 to
AA on SHR-01. SHR-10 can now be completely separated from
the 1200.
SHR-03 AUX/MIC BOARD
To remove SHR-03, disconnect the four connectors from AA,
AB, BA, and BB to P201 and P202 of SHR-02 and from AC, AD,
BC, and BD to P102 and P104 of SHR-01. Remove the four
Phillips screws that hold the switches to the rear panel; SHR-03
can be completely separated from the 1200.
CAUTION
When replacing the fan, be sure to slide the leads through
the insulating tubing before soldering them to the pins on
SHR-14.
S3 PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
Remove the two screws that fasten the Phantom Power Switch
to the rear panel. This will free the switch from the panel. to
separate the switch completely from the 1200, unsolder the red

SHR-04 CHANNEL BOARD
The SHR-04 Channel Boards are assembled and installed in
pairs. Therefore, SHR-04s for Channel 1 and Channel 2 constitute
one pair, those for Channel 3 and Channel 4 constitute another
pair, etc. To remove any pair of Channel Boards:
SHR-09 LIMITER BOARD
To free SHR-09 LIMITER BOARD from the Mounting Panel,
remove from the front of the panel the two Phillips screws that
attach the Limiter Switch to the panel. This frees the board from
the panel.
1.
Remove the control knobs by pulling them off the shafts.
2.
Remove the two flat-head Phillips screws that hold the Channel
Board Assembly in place. One screw is attached to the top of
the front panel ledge, the other to the chassis bottom.
3.
Disconnect the Channel Bus Connector from the top of each
of the two Channel Boards.
4.
Disconnect the 3-pin connector (coming from SHR-01 Input
Board) from the bottom of each of the two SHR-04 Channel
Boards.
5.
Pull the Channel Board Assembly horizontally backward to
free the control shafts from the front panel; the Assembly is
now free of the 1200.
FRONT MOUNTING PANEL
The Front Mounting Panel must be freed from the Front Panel
in order to work on or remove SHR-05 MASTER CONTROL
BOARD, SHR-06 HEADPHONES INPUT BOARD, SHR-07
HEADPHONES CONTROL BOARD, SHR-09 LIMITER BOARD,
SHR-08 INDICATORS BOARD and the Power On/Off Switch
from the 1200. To remove the Mounting Panel:
1.
Remove the two flat-head Phillips screws from the front
panel ledge above the Mounting Panel.
2.
Rest the 1200 on its side with the fan and mounting panel
upwards.
3.
Remove the top three Phillips screws holding the front panel
to the chassis bottom. Leave the bottom screw (below Channel
1) in place. (This will permit swiveling the front panel far
enough away from the chassis to allow the Mounting Panel
to be freed from the 1200 after other required disconnections
have been made.)
4.
Remove the knobs from the control shafts of the Master and
Headphones Controls.
5.
Disconnect the 3-pin connector from P701 on the HEAD-
PHONES CONTROL BOARD.
6.
Disconnect the 3-pin connector from P601 on the HEADPHONES OUTPUT BOARD.
7.
Disconnect the CHANNEL BUS connector from P501 at the
top of the MASTER CONTROL BOARD and disconnect 8-,
4-, and 5-pin connectors from P502, P503, and P504 at the
bottom of the MASTER CONTROL BOARD.
IMPORTANT:
Mark all connectors before removing them so
that they can be reconnected correctly.
8.
Loosen the cable tie that holds the cable harness to the hole
in the outside bottom of SHR-05.
9.
Swivel the front panel away from the chassis bottom enough
to permit pulling the control shafts out of the front panel and
partially freeing the Mounting Panel from the 1200. (The
panel is still connected to the 1200 by the transformer leads
connected to the On/Off switch.) From this position it is
possible to remove or work on boards SHR-05, -06, -07,
-08, and -09.
SHR-05 MASTER CONTROL BOARD
To remove SHR-05 MASTER CONTROL BOARD from the
Mounting Panel:
1.
Remove the control knobs.
2.
Use a nutdriver or wrench to remove the nuts holding the
control shafts to the Mounting Panel.
3. To free the board, pull the shafts back out of the panel.
SHR-06 HEADPHONES OUTPUT BOARD AND SHR-07 HEAD-
PHONES CONTROL BOARD
SHR-06 and SHR-07 are connected together by a solderedin-place 4-conductor ribbon cable. If it is not necessary to
replace the cable, either remove both boards (if desired to free
one of them completely from the 1200), or only remove one (if
freeing the assembly from the 1200 is not essential).
To remove SHR-07 HEADPHONES CONTROL BOARD, remove
the 7/16-inch nut that holds the control shaft to the Mounting
Panel. This permits the board to be freed from the panel (although
it is still connected via the ribbon cable to SHR-06 HEADPHONES
OUTPUT BOARD).
To remove SHR-06 HEADPHONES OUTPUT BOARD, remove
the 1/2-inch nut that holds the phone jack to the Mounting
Panel. This permits the board to be freed from the Panel.
SHR-08 INDICATORS BOARD
Remove the two Phillips screws holding SHR-08 to the back
of the Mounting Panel. Pull the board back from the panel to
remove the LEDs from their holes and to free the board.
S2 ON/OFF SWITCH
To remove the On/Off Switch from the Mounting Panel:
1.
Pull the switch button off the switch control shaft.
2.
Remove the two Phillips screws that hold the switch to the
panel.
3.
Unsolder the red and black transformer leads from the switch.
A1200MX INPUT EXPANSION MODULE
The A1200MX is an optional input expansion module kit that
provides two additional input channels to the 1200. A maximum
of two A1200MXs can be added to the 1200 for a total of 10
inputs. The A1200MX consists of an input connector module
(SHR-15 and SHR-16), an input transformer module (SHR-17),
a channel control module (two SHR-04s), control knobs, and
hardware.
The A1200MX circuitry is identical to the input circuitry of the
other six input channels. Servicing can be accomplished in the
same manner. Printed wiring board drawings are provided with
the service drawings.
CHECKING ACTIVE COMPONENTS
Integrated circuits can be checked without removing them
from their circuit board. Measure the input, output and power
supply voltages as shown on the applicable circuit diagram.
Defective transistors and diodes can be located by use of a
standard ohmmeter such as a Simpson 260. Polarity of the
ohmmeter must be verified before these checks are made; all
resistance measurements are made with the power off in the
circuit under test.
With a known diode orientation, measure the diode resistance
in the forward and reverse directions. The lowest meter reading
will establish the probe at the cathode end (schematic symbol
arrow points to cathode) as the “minus” probe while the other
probe will be “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 be read approximately 2000 ohms or less. With the
meter probes reversed, a reading of about 10,000 ohms or
more should be obtained. If either of these conditions is not
met, one lead should be unsoldered from the circuit and the test
repeated. If the results are identical, the diode should be replaced.

To check LEDs, connect the cathode (notch or flat on flange,
tab on lead or short lead) of the LED to the negative terminal of a
standard 9 V transistor battery. Connect the positive battery
terminal through a 4.7 k resistor to the LED anode. Replace any
LED that does not light.
CAUTION
Do not check LEDs with an ohmmeter. The LEDs may be
damaged or erroneous readings may be obtained.
To check transistors, the ohmmeter should be set to the 100or 1,000-ohm scale. Transistors must be removed from the
circuit before testing. If all conditions in the following table are
met, the transistor may be considered free of any major defect;
if any of the following conditions are not met, the transistor
should be replaced. See Figure 3 for active component lead
codes.
