Decision Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I am interested but have a couple of questions... I have read that the DI is not balanced on these amps which can cause problems when DI'ing for gigs. Do you know if that is the case. Have you used the DI much? Also... Do you know whether it is a MKV, MKVI or is it earlier? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 If it helps, I have the AH250SMX - the same generation (post Mk VI I believe) with a few more features. Not letting go of mine! The XLR out wasn't balanced originally - I bought it new in early 90s - but Trace sold me a transformer for a few quid and told me which place to solder it in; sorted! There is a place that still services TE amps in England.. they may well have the neccessary transformer if the job wasn't already done previously.

Skezza Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 I thought the SMX had a compressor this does not have the compressor it is earlier than that. I have used the DI over the last couple of years at outdoor festival gigs and big indoor gigs and never had a problem so it may be the mod was done before I got it or it mnay be that this model did not need a mod . I have had loads of trace stuff and all the later stuff have a chrome cage surrounding the cooling fan whereas the ealiest stuuf has the cooling fan in the chassis with just slits to let the air through. That is how this is.

Interestingly no cooling fan, just big vanes on the back! I got the impression at the time that the SMX were the 'upper' models with those extra features in the pre, then the SM were the 'standard' pre into the same power section. Skezza, if I felt any need for a backup - my SMX has been played up and down the country and abroad for the best part of 20 years and still works without a glitch - I'd have yours like a shot at that price! I've used a selection of cabs for different gigs, but never felt underpowered with 250 Watts; mine usually runs at about volume 2 to 3. Best of luck with the sale!
