Re: Akai S900 voice issues

Thanks Hugh,

OK I've uploaded a JPeg of the relevant part of the circuit.
I've called it S900_DAC... it's in our photo's section here.

So I am getting around 3volts on pins 14 & 19 of the BA9221 (IC107)
on faulty voice channels.

On good voices there is just millivolts on those pins.

Would you suspect the BA9221....?

Cheers,
TOM
