3 way active speaker system + Subwoofer based on Lm 3886 & 4780

[kuldeep]

Just started my dream project of 3 way active speaker system & Subwoofer based on LM3886 & LM4780 ICs .

Currently making the PCB for 3886.

What drivers are you using for the project? I too have dreamed of building some active 3 ways with chip amps (if only I had the money!!!)

Hi kuldeep,

I just completed making the PCB and the soldering on LM3886 amp based on the schematic from ESPs site.
Which schematic are you using for the LM3886?
Let me know once you complete the PCB and amp.

Thanks
Din

If this is any interest to you, I have already built a 3way active speaker system.
I am just now building a 6 channel amp so I can get rid of the Quads that I currently use. I shall be using LM3886's in the mid and high channels and Rod Elliots P3a's in bridge mode for the lows. This is a sealed box design with Linkwitz transform to extend the f3 to 20Hz (which it does and sounds good too)

Note: Absolutely no subwoofer needed!

GREAT Diyer you're.....watching ur site for the update enthusiastically...
Should one scratch the paint when it is wet or dry ?

[kuldeep]

well PCB s r ready ..

Kuldeep..are u aware of Laserprint >>iron tranfer technique in making PCB's ?

Great - I'm not the only one

For my fronts and rears I am useing a variation of Elliott's P03A for the bass, LM3876 for the mids and LM1875s for the highs.
The centre was going to be all LM3876s but I changed my mind and built 2 LM3876s and one LM1875 then changed my mind again and am putting together a reference circuit for the LM4781
mainly in the interests of space saving - all those boards take up a lot of room

My sub is Elliotts P68 driving a Shriva 12" in a 5 cft vented down firing enclosure - really rocks the house

Now that I've got my 625VA tranny I'm thinking of building a separate PSU and have one enclosure for preamps and Xovers and possibly the centre amps and one for all the rest.

Keep building

hi guys...well pcb r ready and i have completed 3 amplifiers..but i have to go on 1 month office duty and will not be able to carry on the project upto one month...
anyhow i have uploaded the pcb layout and schematic on

(laser - print - iron technique i tried many times but never got good results , sometimes pcb cracks, swells due to heat, sometimes transfer is not complete..but i was very satisfied by this method)

Kuldeepji...My first attempt was successfull..i tried with glass epoxy +demat fotoprint glossy paper costing Rs=10/- per sheet locally..iron used was 1000watts in highest temperature ie Linen...
