Ensure that the unit is turned off and the power cord, along with all other connected cables, is disconnected before beginning any procedures.
Always wear safety glasses during the repair process.
Avoid touching any of the PCB circuitry, resistors, capacitors, or other internal components.
Read through all instructions prior to starting the repair to understand the required steps.
Touch a metal surface to discharge any lingering internal static electricity before you begin the repair.
What tools are required for repairing the LOUD TECHNOLOGIES MACKIE ACTIVE SWA1801Z?
The following tools and workspace requirements are needed for service, though not all may be required for every specific repair:
| Required Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Phillips head screwdriver | Removing front panel and LED PCB screws |
| 5mm allen wrench | Removing woofer and amplifier assembly screws |
| Solid workbench | Providing a stable surface for the unit |
| Non-carpeted work area | Preventing static electricity buildup |
| ESD mat | Optimal protection against electro-static discharge |
Which replacement parts are used for the LOUD TECHNOLOGIES MACKIE ACTIVE SWA1801Z?
The primary replaceable assemblies for this model include:
| Assembly Name | Part Number |
|---|---|
| Led PCB Assembly | #0007334 |
| 18 inch Woofer | #0012184 |
| Amplifier Assembly | #0016875 |
How do I replace the Led PCB Assembly on the LOUD TECHNOLOGIES MACKIE ACTIVE SWA1801Z?
Step 1. Remove the twenty screws from the front panel using a phillips head screwdriver. Keep these screws and washers in a safe place.
Step 2. Carefully begin to remove the front panel. Use the wave guides as a grip for stability and support. Do not fully remove the panel yet as the cable is still attached to the LED PCB.
Step 3. Carefully remove the cable attached to the LED PCB assembly.
Step 4. Use a phillips head screwdriver to remove the single screw from the center of the LED PCB assembly.
Step 5. Carefully remove the LED PCB assembly from the back side of the front panel. If it is sticking, a flathead screwdriver may be used to assist in removal.
Step 6. Place the new LED PCB assembly (part #0007334) where the old one was and follow the disassembly steps in reverse order (6 to 1) to complete the installation.
What is the procedure for replacing the woofer in the LOUD TECHNOLOGIES MACKIE ACTIVE SWA1801Z?
Step 1. Follow the initial front panel removal steps (removing the 20 screws and disconnecting the LED PCB cable) to access the internal woofer.
Step 2. Remove the eight screws from the woofer using a 5mm allen wrench and keep them in a safe place.
Step 3. Carefully begin to remove the woofer. Note that the woofer weighs approximately 27 pounds and the weight is unevenly distributed. If the woofer is sticking, a flathead screwdriver may aid in removal.
Step 4. Identify the cables attached to the woofer terminals: the positive cable is solid yellow and the negative cable is yellow and black.
Step 5. Remove the cables from the terminals by pushing down on the terminal and pulling the cable out.
Step 6. Place the new 18 inch woofer (part #0012184) where the old one was.
Step 7. Follow the removal steps in reverse order (6 to 1). Ensure that the LED PCB assembly cable is kept in front of the woofer during the reinstallation process.
How do I replace the amplifier assembly on the LOUD TECHNOLOGIES MACKIE ACTIVE SWA1801Z?
Step 1. Remove four screws from the amplifier assembly using a 5mm allen wrench. There are two screws located at the top and two located at the bottom of the unit. Keep these screws in a safe place.
Step 2. It may be easier to remove the assembly if the cabinet is placed on its side. Grasp the assembly firmly, as it weighs approximately 23 pounds.
Step 3. Do not completely remove the assembly immediately, as internal cables must be disconnected first. Three cables need to be removed: the negative (yellow and black) woofer cable, the positive (solid yellow) woofer cable, and the LED PCB cable.
Step 4. Disconnect the negative (yellow and black) woofer cable from its terminal located towards the bottom of the amplifier assembly near the transformer.
Step 5. Disconnect the positive (solid yellow) woofer cable from its terminal near the center of the assembly, located just above the four capacitors.
Step 6. Disconnect the LED PCB cable from the connector. When reconnecting this to the new assembly, ensure the white cable is closest to the edge of the amplifier assembly.
Step 7. Place the new amplifier assembly (part #0016875) where the old one was and follow the previous steps in reverse order (6 to 1).
Step 8. Transfer the serial number from the faulty amplifier assembly to the new replacement assembly.
What are the specific wiring and terminal requirements for the LOUD TECHNOLOGIES MACKIE ACTIVE SWA1801Z?
When connecting the woofer cables to the amplifier assembly, it is critical that they are attached to the correct terminals. Failure to do so will result in greatly reduced power.
The negative terminal for the yellow and black woofer cable is located toward the bottom of the amplifier assembly, near the transformer.
The positive terminal for the solid yellow woofer cable is located near the center of the assembly, positioned just above the four capacitors.
When connecting the LED PCB cable to the amplifier, the white wire must be positioned closest to the edge of the amplifier assembly.
Do not force any cable connections or removals. If cables are difficult to remove from the woofer terminals, needle-nose pliers may be used to assist in gently pulling them away after pushing down on the terminal.
