DIY progress report

... about that monster amp

Last year I built something like the 'über Aleph'.
this one idles about 1300W/ch, has 32XIRF620N front end bias current is about 100ma, and output power is beyond 550W.
In the moment it's driving a Visaton Monitor (94db/m).

THIS ONE REALLY ROCKS!

Since nobody here seems to care about electricity bills, and if trere's interest in this project i'll take some photos and post a little more.

the claw

Nelson Pass said:
El Pipeo-O parts 1 and 2 will be released in November.
ZV5 will be released in December.
The Claw is awaiting some more floor space in the shop,
so probably January.
After that, the crossover.

Hi, Mr Pass

will the claw be a single speaker horn project, or a multyway one?

How are the dimensions of the prototype/schematics (in case that no prototype has been buid yet)?

and- thousands of thanks for sharing the knowledge of the amps etc.

How do you make it with your time?
It seems it takes a lot of time to make the commercial passlab things, the passdiy things, speaker projects and watching/answering to the forums and so on (dont know if you have family or simillar things.)

And I wish to say that it`s an honour for me, having communicated Mr. Pass....



Regards,

Ralf

The Original Brown Note ?....

I remember reading in 'New Scientist' mag 30 years ago about a 19th century trial of an outdoor giant passive horn that was big enough such that an ensemble could perform under a flared entry to the horn, and the horn bending 90 degrees and then flaring out to very large dimensions and broadcasting over a public park.
This passive amplification worked much too well according to the report of the low frequencies causing profound nausea in the audience members !.

Nelson, you have been warned. :)

Shouldn't that be The Giant Claw?
