New Aleph Mini PCB GB

[Ruben]

Balanced inputs would be great!

[BrianGT]

Well, you asked for it... I made a new version that accepts balanced inputs and uses the same input circuit as the Aleph 30/60.

The board is 0.1" wider

I can't take screenshots here very well, so I created a pdf from the gerber files with Pentalogix Viewmate and attached the pdf. The pdf shows both layers, green = bottom layer, red = top layer

Any comments?

Seperate pages for top and bottom layer:

Brian,

Thought you were away this weekend. Must have brought your laptop.

Exactly.. I am still away now in Pennsylvania, but I brought my laptop, and had a chance to use the net at my uncle's house.

Here is another picture of the layout, taken the same way as the previous shots:

I cant remember but can they be run in RCA mode and or balanced ?

Yes, for unbalanced, the input goes into the +IN. View the schematic here:

The resistor numbers are not all the same, but the circuitry is the same.

Thanks. Here is a pcb with output boards attached to it to form a pcb set:


The thicker pink lines indicate scoring, so the board can be broken apart. (as far as heat dissipation, they would have to be broken apart for larger powered amplifiers)

The resistors on the output boards are 2 - 2w resistors in parallel, which deviates from the single 3w resistors used in the production Aleph amps.
