Hello everybody. Is anyone psb Apex AX14 with 2 pairs on the output?

 

[HIFI0101]

Absolutely

Hollt ****!! im gonna build this!

I found tfhis version of PCB but i didnt find the schematic for this , have anyone tried? Thank you!

No. If you don't find it, it's not too difficult to work out. Quickly comparing it with the original schematic in post #1 :
- R21,22,23,24, Q12 and Q14 are doubled up, as you would expect.
- C13 has been replaced with 10R and 2 x 1N4148 all in parallel, ground loop breaker.
Also there must be link between points J-A and J-A1, not shown on the layout.

I'll leave it with you to follow through the rest of it for any other changes.

Looks like quite a nice single sided layout, I may use it myself, when I ever get round to it.

I know about the link between that jumpers, ideea is that i want to know if its good because i want to do this model of module but with power transistors 2sa/2sc and bd , under pcb, twisted! Something like this!

schematic in post #1 is not final. the one in post # 22 is, IMHO.

Hi Prasi,
Yes, you're right , R2 and R8 are swapped in post #1.

 

[avtech]

Circuit was tested on +/-90V rail voltage, but with single pair 2SC5200/2SA1943 +/-56V is maximum. 80W on 8R load with low THD.

Just wanted to check what an appropriate rail voltage would be for the AX14 with dual 2SC5200?

I have a choice of 35-0-35v and 47-0-47v trannies.

Can either be used without issue?

Cheers!

 

[prasi]

Go for 2 x 0-35VAC if you have a choice and use CRC PSU pcb supplied by me.

OR
2x 0-47 VAC OR 47-0-47 VAC with apex regulated PSU.

i would always feel safer with +/-56VDC with 2 pairs of bjts.

(too late to edit)
OR you could use 35vac-0-35vac, use a psu as per your choice.

 

[HIFI0101]

any suggestion for a PSU board for Apex 14?

 

[prasi]

Use whatever you have hifi0101.
Avtech, crc i suggested won't accept a ct. It needs a dual secondary trafo.

 

[avtech]

Thanks Prasi.

The transformers I have were both advertised as centre tap but are actually dual secondary winding so no problem there.

Hi Katiyar,
None of the items are from offline shops. Most of the items are from an Aliexpress seller who sells genuine parts . And some are from taydaelectronics.

Thank you
Sha

Can you share link of Ali Express dealer.
Thanks

Mr shabusf,

From which shop you buy these electronic components?
