Hey folks,
I am building a surround sound amplifier to go with my silent Home Theater PC. I am using a Creative XFI sound card as my surround sound decoder. I plan on having 8 channels of audio for 7.1 sound using a set of Tripath TAA4100A amps. http://www.tripath.com/pb4100A.htm There may be two extra 25-watt channels using a TA2021B chip. The two extra channels are to run a set of Bass Shaker transducers I have. I may just omit them however and use a AMP3 kit. I already two AMP3s kit in my Car, and I am very impressed with the audio quality. And that is why I am sticking with Tripath amps. Here is my planned layout for the chassis: http://static.flickr.com/51/181157624_5d15d7b4ef_o.png (The area at the far right is for a A/C input module) The front panel is made to match my existing themed HTPC: http://static.flickr.com/58/181358318_1a291c2073_o.png http://www.flickr.com/photos/zapwiza...7594177965058/ The front panel will have a single LED that will change based on MUTE, SLEEP, and POWER. The faceplate will be wood on my model, but plastic if I build more. Behind the power button will be a touch-sensative mute circuit that will allow one touch muting and mabye a hold-to-sleep setting. Normal volume/mute will be controlled by the HTPC via remote. I may do a group buy later, depending on how much parts cost. Since most of the schematic is cut and paste I will be releasing the design files for the PCB and schematic. Right now I have a schematic with the stock parts that Tripath lists in the TAA4100A spec sheet. I haven't designed the PSU yet. I am tempted to use a commercially made open-frame PSU that can put out the power needed. Rather then build my own. Does anyone have any suggested changes to any of the component values? Besides the standard high-quality parts.
