100W Ultimate Fidelity Amplifier

And the Layout file

How much power is the APEX NX12 amplifier with 60-0-60V power, and how much should I install BIAS in this amplifier?

 

[still4given]

I have built the preamp Apex A2 with NE5532. Sounds great, is easy to build and cheap. Super as a pre-amplifier for meters, small amps, test purposes ...
It may be that someone finds it useful.
Unfortunately, there are many different potentometers footprints and so I for myself had not the right one on the shelf. So be careful

Is this the non-inverting LinearPre?

 

[ivanlukic]

No, this is inverting Linear Pre and since it is inverting it sounds different than non-inverting. Warmer and softer, somewhat less detailed and bright than non-inverting. Many people find it more musical than non-inverting.

 

[still4given]

Strange. I built both and could hear no difference between them. The only difference is the direction in which the opamp is fed.

Are you sure ?
You can get an inverted signal just by reversing the speaker leads and that doesn't sound any different from the right way unless you use non musical test signals.

Hello olafk,
Is it possible to have PDF or your PCB?
Thank's

 

[alex mm]

PDF files

PDF files attached .....

 

[olafk]

Oh, too late. Overslept on Sunday

Thanks, Alex.

 

[olafk]

Small changes to use other potentiometers.

Thank you Alex and Olafk, your are the Masters of PCB layouts!

986 pages nice, can someone please PM me the latest layouts, it is almost impossible to search through all these pages, I spent an hour and every time i thought i found the final layout there's always another one in next page, lol.
I would appreciate it.

Look here: A Directory of Apex Audio Amplifiersand here:A Directory of Apex Audio Amplifiers - Chapter 2

But the real stuff you will only find in the thread. It's magic

[still4given]

For anyone interested, I created a layout using mostly SMD parts. It is single layer. I did inverting and non-inveritng.

Terry,
Interesting. PDF's avail.?

 

[still4given]

Sure, do you need iron transfer or photo resist?

 

[Rick G]

Iron Please.

Thank You.

 

[still4given]

Here you go.

that actually helped a lot, thank you

You should read the thread... You should read the M. Mile Post #9746
