Behringer Xenyx 2442 Power Supply Fails

The desk initially switches on fine, and works as normal, but after around 10 minutes, the power just quietly dies, and it takes a few minutes before it will power up again. We have traced the problem to the desk, not any external power issues. Any idea why this might be the case?

SOURCE: Behringer XENYX 1622FX, won't power on. Phantom power works(?)

After reviewing the schematic, I don't understand how the Phantom power can REMAIN on with the power switch off... this CANNOT occur except for what energy is left in the 48 volt supply filter cap... This might last for minutes after the fuse went... UNLESS you have devices connected which are backfeeding the 48 volts. (which would be a disaster)

The 48 volts, +/- 12 volts and +/- 15 volts and the +5 volts ALL come from the SAME switching power supply. I suspect one of the filter caps went or the primary switching regulator a TDP245Y chip.

You should ONLY work on the line side of this using an ISOLATION transformer since the line side has lethal voltages.

To do testing, one replaces the fuse and puts a 60 Watt light bulb in series with the hot side of the inout line. The lamp "acts" as a resetable fuse and limits the current for testing. When all is well again, the lamp will remain out with the power flowing through it.

The D1 diode bridge and C7 input rectifier and filter are first things to check. You can do those with an ohmmeter.

I will caution you to ALWAYS power any and all equipment from the SAME power source. Plugging in devices from across the room will set up ground loops and any ground fault will fry equipment.

The utput fader has probably been broken. If the knob takes a hit, it breaks the resistance element. The part is inexpensive but it takes a lot of work to access and replace the part.

First thing to check is look in the Windows Control Panel at the the "Sounds and Devices" and verify that the 2442USB IS the device for both input and output instead of the usual PC audio devices. You should see a pulldown list including both for those... If not, your SW driver is NOT loaded properly.

SOURCE: I have an Behringer Xenyx 1222FX that won't power

The phantom power light wouldn't illuminate unless the unit was powered on. Possibly the main power indicator light is burned out.

SOURCE: how much output power supply

The supply will be similar to that in the 1222. Download a schematic here. Look at the SPUS2 portion of the compressed file.

There are several voltages present.

I have Behringer xenyx 1622fx , It will turn on the power but a few minute the power will turn -off , Please help me to solve the problem of this unit in power supply section or other section.

Here is your schematic:

http://elektrotanya.com/behringer_xenyx_1622fx.pdf/download.html

Scroll down and find link "Get manual" and click to download.. IGNORE other download links they are for third party viewers. Power supply is on page 11. This is a switching power supply running from line voltage. For personal safety USE AN ISOLATION transformer when working on it. First thing is to measure all the voltage outputs before and during shutdown. Switching power supplies often require use of an oscilloscope to repair. The three terminal regulators that follow the main switching supply each have thermal shutdown so if one of them is being overloaded it will shutdown and that voltage will drop way down. Use great caution when working on the supply!!!

Behringer XENYX 1620FX, won't power on. Phantom power works(?)

Here is a schematic close to your unit:

http://elektrotanya.com/behringer_xenyx_1622fx.pdf/download.html

Scroll down to "get manual" and click to download. Ignore other download links.

The phantom power is a separate rectifier and regulator. See page 11 of the download service manual for the power supply. Be careful when working on line operated switching supplies. I suspect you will find one of the other supplies is dead. If the phantom is OK, then the switcher is working and one of the rectifier/filter/regulators is bad. Check if an electrolytic cap is shorted.

My Behringer XENYX 2442FX Mixer does not power up, the only light that comes on is the phantom power light. I opened it up and noticed that the switching power supply has multiple voltage outputs. We...

You should find +/-15 volts and +5 volts as well as the phantom power... but that light can come on at much lower than desired voltage.

Note that the regulators are current limited so a short on the mixer board can kill one of the voltages.... but you are not getting any input from teh switching portion of the regulator so the switching part of the supply is apparently dead. To replace the supply you would have to call Behringer at 1-425-672-0816 to get the part number and an incident number and then call FullCompass which is their part distributor now.

When working on a switching power supply, use an isolation transformer for safety and use a 60 watt lamp in series with the power cord to limit current during testing.

The circuitry will be SIMILAR to the power supply found on page 9 of schematic you can download at:

Behringer mixer power goes off after running about 5 0r 10 minutes then power turns on.what is problem with the power supply board

That time lag would indicate a thermal problem.

Likely the power supply is a switching type that has some three terminal regulators after it such as 7805, 7815, 7915.

These have thermal protection in them and one may be shutting down.

Use circuit cooler to isolate the part that is shutting down.

Problem is likely thermal. Open unit carefully and use freeze mist (circuit cooler) to find bad component.

With that long a time period, it is possibly a component mounted on a heatsink.

I have a behringer xenyx 2442 and the main output fader no longer works. Each individual channel fader now seems to go direct to the main mix and appears to bypass the main fader

The utput fader has probably been broken. If the knob takes a hit, it breaks the resistance element. The part is inexpensive but it takes a lot of work to access and replace the part.
