beomaster 5000: noise in loudspeaker when shut off

2 replies

hi out there

I have a old beomaster 5000 (the first computer controlled version - Square with alu) - when it is shut off there is still some idle noise in the loudspeakers from some current leak - some ideas for from where that leak can come?

 

best regards /ti

Off with the bottom plate and check the solder joints on the power supply relais.
If the relay coil is never energized, the amplifiers are always powered (not good for your electric bill).
