Non-Warranty Repairs
Minimum bench rates as per below:
$140 for standard equipment*
$260 for McIntosh, vintage and boutique equipment
$490 for BSS and other DSP units**
* Standard equipment rates: This rate applies to most 2 channel analog equipment. Newer multi-channel amps that are 4 or 8 channels will be more than the minimum bench fee. Also amps with built in DSP or advanced technology will also be more than the minimum bench fee, This applies to amps like Crown CTS with digital PIP cards. Typical multi channel amps and amps with DSP average about $195 to $295, Unless it is just simple cleaning and all updates have been performed
**BSS Audio, London and Soundweb Green Pricing and repair information: We are the service Depot for BSS Soundweb green. We our offering the similar pricing that the factory was doing $260 for standard updates and $475 for any additional repair issues. When DSP units are sent in for repair we ask that repairs be approved for the $490 per unit amount that way we can process the units through with the repair technicians quickly. IF the unit only requires the normal updates we will do just that bill you the $260 and return shipping unless you provide us a return shipping label or UPS account number Then it would only be the $260, if the unit requires additional repair like input , output or DSP issues then the full $490 will be billed.
We also need to know if you are capable of reloading the program on your end. After we repair them we need to test them to do so we have to load a test file for us to be able to fully test the units. Once that is done we will rename the units back to what they were named so your Soundweb designer software will find them and reload the config file. If you do not have the software or file we will not be able to fully test the units for factory performance. As by loading our test file will delete your config file until its reloaded.
The minimum Bench fee is due for work to begin. If you would like a re-cone quote for your speaker, please contact us, and include the model number of the speaker.
