I am proud to announce the Dx-M, 300 wiskies of power with a very low distortion

[destroyer X]

Based into the Dx HRII, the DXM (Dx-M) will have the so loved CCS into the differential amplifier (market pressure), also current sink.

Second stage, the VAS, use dual transistors

The amplifier continue bootstrapped, of course!

Will study some different style of protection (Sakis wants that for professional applications) and will be tuned for SONICS during this last month of 2009...will be my Christmas gift to all forum friends.

Dx-M is easy to pronounciate, despite in my mind it will be Dx sonics, will not be released if not able to beat 90 percent of forum amplifiers and commercial amplifiers (related sonics)

Supply voltage will be around 80 volts...and power can reach 400 watts without too much trouble to that,but really it will be rated 200 W at 8 ohms

Distortion is around 0.003% (THD) at full power, fourier analisis is clean and will be able to face 2 ohms loads having 2.2uf in paralell.

I am working, and soon you gonna see prototype and final schematic posted.

Competition!..watch your back cushion shock absorbers because Dx will star to kick some....

Merry Christmas folks!

Dx amplifier and referenced into Aksa products.

The HRII schematic is here:

DIY group of skilled designers!...watch your back... keep back bumpers against the wall...more protected as accidental crashes happens!


hehehehhe

Soon will start to assemble prototype and to research protection...well, will try a protection if the one does not kill sonics.

I am having a lot of fun.... i love to build amplifiers!

Today will prepare the board, will be prototype style, a lot of square blocks or copper.

For now, the good life, listening the Dx TriAmp while i am thinking what to do first.

This feature gets my vote.

[destroyer X]

Now will continue to use into the top performance amplifiers (Dx line)

watch the HRII schematic and you gonna see the 2 stage VAS.

DXM will be based into this one, with some modifications.

Already simulated, now will go to assemble and to listen..and this is what matters...into simulators they use to be wonderfull, when playing not always.

Alike na universal circuit board, the one with holes and a lot of squared pieces of copper.

The fast way to produce prototypes...also has the advantage that you solder into the copper side, this way no shorts bellow the board...and we know the mess while we are assembling, this happens.... having board insulated, will not happens shorts and you will see the circuit the way it is, nothing inverted and nothing needing you to rotate the board to inspect copper lines to follow the circuit..this way everything is in front of you eyes...connection lines, parts and solder.

Here is a small video..sorry the bad quality, my camera is not fine....but you may understand and may use the method.

I use to do this way since 1969.... so, if this is SMD, then i am the one have invented SMD

ahahahahahah!

Not a good idea to remove the solder flux for a while.... if you remove will be easy to produce shorts between the solder points, the flux keeps some surface tension that avoids shorts.

Clean flux after finish all construction and test.... cleaning is final thing to be done, the flux removal.

It's nice to see you add to the DX product line, Carlos. This project is a good size for the chassis, heatsink, transformer pair I have waiting in the wings. How many output pairs are you thinking about (c5200/a1943)? 5-6 maybe?
