Hi,
Chinese made, 12 input chs, SMPS with Class D amp rated at 2x300W @ 4 ohms, still current model.
One of the above on the bench, SMPS allegedly blew at switch on. Mosfets shorted plus drive IC, buffer transistors etc.
The class D board appears to be undamaged but need working SMSP in order to test as it delivers all the low and high DC voltages. Main DC rails ought to be about +/- 75V.
Anyone familiar ?
Is the SMPS a known lemon ?
The design looks a bit cheap and nasty.

No specific information on that unit, but I normally decide the repair stra tegy based on how many I'll see for repair. Being a current model, there's not a big history available so you'll not know how many more you'll eventu ally see (if any). For the first one, I'd be more inclined to try to find a replacement smps if it's a stand alone unit and can be gotten fairly chea ply, particularly if the mosfet took out so many parts as yours did. If I s ee two of these in my small hole in the wall shop, then it's a pattern and I'll spend 10 hours on the next one to find out what happened, why, and wri te a rebuild/upgrade procedure to make the following ones cheap and easy an d hopefully upgraded.
