output until it can be repaired, at which time the fuse
should be replaced also.
Temperature sensors on the channel heatsinks and the
power transformers are part of the thermal management
circuitry. On the MX 1000a, MX 1500a, and MX 2000a,
the temperature sensors govern whether the dual-speed
fan should run at low or high speed. Below 55˚ C, the fan
runs at low speed; above, it runs at high speed. At or
above 85˚ C, the channel mutes to go into thermal
protection.
On the MX 3000a, the thermal management circuitry
controls the variable-speed fan according to how much
cooling air flow is required. At and above 80˚ C, the
thermal limiting circuit reduces the audio signal by up to
15 dB. At 85˚ C, the channel mutes to go into thermal
protection.
