my new lm3886 amp!!!!!!!

[sr2002]

i have finally finished the main boards.

its a p2p type board.

i know it looks pretty ugly but hey, its only my 2nd project till now.

hey can u guys please tell me how i can add a simple volume control to this thing

[Russ White]

not bad at all. I lot better than most of my P2P type stuff.

hey can u guys please tell me how i can add a simple volume control to this thing

just add a logarithmic potentiometer to the input

[sr2002]

logarithmic pot?

so i just put it at the input signal right?

so i put it in parallel with both the left and right channels right?

but isnt that used to adjust the gain?

just a pot right no other components?

[lazyfly]

Just a pot will get you up and running. 10, 20 or 50k are okay, play around with values, everyone else does

Source > pot > amp input.

More importantly at the moment are heatsinks!

hey guyss,,,,,,,,

need help i have grounded pin7 of the lm3886 wut do i do with pin 8 (mute pin) do ground directly.

i am using carlosfm's unregulated psu.

below in the notes he has written use 100nf+100uf caps on chips psu pins.

that means i put one pair between +v and ground. and other pair on -v and ground.

but as i am using br100 schematic. do i have to do this to the second chip's psu pins too?

that is total of four pairs?

[sr2002]

hey guys come on reply me pleasseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok i have setteled with the mute pin. now i can hear the sound from the amp. it works fine!!!!!!!

but the thing is i have used a 35k resistance between pin 8 and -V. will this reduce the total out put ?

and also the thing is i am not much satisfied with the hi frequencies of the amp. i was expecting more. i have addes a zobel. and used the br100 schm from the an-1192 file without any modifications.
and i am using carlos fm's unregulated psu.

does any one have any suggestions, so that i can get more crystal clean sound. any filters or something like that?(please post a link or schematic)

[sr2002]

helo guyssssss,

please why isnt any one replying to my posts???

i really need help here. my project has stalled because of no replies

[carlmart]

The sound of the amp is what it is, and except if you did something wrong the highs should be crystal clear.

Please add an exact design of the circuit and how you wired it.

What tweeters are you using? Have you tried them with other amplifier and got the highs you wanted? Have you tried different sources?

Are you using any parallel capacitor at the input? Which value?

i am using the br100 schematic. and i have just added 2 zobel networks
at the outputs of the two chips on both boards.

i have done p2p connections. i am using carlosfm's unregulated psu for chipamps. i have also added 100uf + 100nf caps between -v &ground and +v & ground.

i havent added anything at the input. do u think adding caps at the input will help?

actually the highs r good enough but the thing is when i pump the volume the tweeters seem to distort.(i am using sony hifi speakers)

but the thing is the speakers seem to work fine on my 65rms harman/kardon ht receiver.

so is this amp more powerful than my harman/kardon?
