Sound Digital Evo 1200.4 They Said WHAT? "Only Thier Techs Have The Right Equipment for Repairs"

Sound Digital said that only their people are qualified to repair their items. I laughed. I even agreed to an NDA.
Thank you all for the wonderful support!

    I don't know 100% for the output but does it have one or two ICs on the output riser card? I would look into the datasheets of the IRS2052m and the IRS2093m. I have not repaired any of these due to the solder joints of those cards, so I cannot provide much information.

    There are many and I mean many amplifiers in that power range so be careful when choosing. I can't give recommendations as I don't know the installation it will be driving. Many amplifier failures are from improper installation and use. I would look into a small Korean-designed amplifier such as DC, Ruthless, Gately, etc.

    I was considering buying a Soundigital amplifier but after seeing this I refuse to purchase any of their products. This is insane. These are so compact they lack a lot of rail capacitors like their older models.. not a huge issue on these but on subwoofer amplifiers the power supply can sag since they are so small there is no room for decent sized rail capacitors

    Unfortunately, I do not support their products still. I have managed to identify a few of their defaced components (in the 4 channel amps) but due to the lack of time, I have not been able to proceed with the repair of their products. We must thank them for the lack of support to private repair businesses.
