Perform Biasing on B&K ST-140

Falcon · 31st January 2010, 04:17 AM

Hi Forum Members:
I have just replaced the pre-drivers and output drivers on both channels of my B&K ST-140 ( early version with only one pair of output transistors per channel ). I would like to know what is the procedure(s) to check and setup the bias on both channels correctly. Also anything else I need to check and adjust to make sure that everything is fine and within specification? I contact B&K but no response so far. Thanks.

Mike

Pull one fuse on one channel, adjust the bias to about 125mA (100mA per output plus 25mA for the front end). Repeat for the other channel.
