Heideana Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I just bought a JBL/UREI SR6630 power amp for $75 to use in my little recording studio to drive by KG 3's on a whim. I googled it and learned it puts out 300wpc/4ohms and switching power supply. Does anyone know anything else about it and how good/bad it is? I thought for $75, I couldn't really go to wrong....

colterphoto1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 you'd want to consult with the dukester on that one. With JBL in the title he'll be around shortly. I have a pretty minty 6260 he tried to talk me out of. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 This one, right? Or is is 6360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That 6630 above is $399 on eBay right now. You got one heck of a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heideana Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks Colter, that's the one. My AV guy told me it works and has 30-day guaranteed on all the used equipment he sells, so it sounds like I got a great deal based on the what its going for on Ebay. Hopefully its a decent studio power amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heideana Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wow...this baby weighs a lot...I hooked it up and it works! I plugged a mini-disc recorder into it and the KG 3's really sound much clearer and solid, compared to the Carver I was using. It puts out a good bit of warm air from the front vents...with the heat from the back vents on my recording computer, its' going to toasty... I couldn't find the owner's manual on the web, but did find the technical manual from JBL's site for free ( it was for sale elsewhere...). If I'm reading the specs. right, this unit would be great and meets the Klipsch requirement for low distortion at low power levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah, they're pretty clean. That old Urei stuff had some good engineering (and massive power supply) to it. My 6260 has the transformer on one end, about takes one arm off when you lift it up. Be careful with that and the KG3's. You have enough power to shoot voice coils across the room with that thing!

Duke Spinner Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 they are made by QSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heideana Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks for the warning about shooting voice coils! If I keep it from lighting the clipping lights I should be ok or is that a false assumption? Also, is QSC a big name in pro audio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djhuge Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Urei was a separate company not part of QSC .Urei originated from Chicago then moved to California Bill Putnam eventually sold the rights of Urei to Jbl and Jbl continued to operate Jbl Urie and make the dual branded products These are an amazing amplifier and are very reliable I still use a dozen of these today in my business.
