Sounds like a problem with the horn amp in that cabinet. This is not a user fixable problem and needs to go to the shop. Here is a link to the Mackie support page where you can find a link to the repair shop list. Mackie Tech Support
i) I assume the fuse you mentioned was in the mains plug - did you also check the fuse in the TH15A mains input socket? This is accessed by pulling out the tab in the bottom section of the socket (below the centre pin). This is a 3.15Amp antisurge fuse, 20mm type.
ii) If this fuse has blown, then replace it & all may be well ...... but if it blows again, then move to step iii).
iii) With mains disconnected, remove rear panel (outer screws) & check the power supply PCB for damaged components, especially R111 & R112 (100ohms). If the latter are burnt or open circuited, then the amplifier module may have blown.
I believe there is an internal fuse in these which, according to a friend who has these, seems to blow occasionally for no apparent reason. He has also had to send two back for replacement and would not buy again, they seem to be inherently unreliable although they sound great.
Did you have this speaker AND the device that drives it connected to the same power source? If run by a mixer you MUST run a power extension from the same place your powered speakers are powered to the mixer. Ground bounce due to wiring in a building can destroy input circuits due to ground faults and static discharges. ALWAYS use balanced lines either XLR or TRS cables to interconnect the audio.
Also verify your power receptacle is properly wired. Carry one of those plugs with the indicators showing receptacle is wired correctly. Don't plug anything in until you verify it. Some venues are noted as having bad electical service.
Let your speaker sit for a minute and repower it... sometimes they have a lockout that takes time to reset.
Can you please further explain what your problem is? I can guess, but I'd rather not. I suspect that the internal amp is faulty. If you can describe the exact problem, I shoul dbe able to propose a few solutions.
same problem here.. gimme a holler if you've figured anything out. mine, channels light up, it's getting sound (input) from mics, but it's no sound coming out. i'm almost definite the problem is with the main mix slider. but then again i could be wrong.
