Its only need +50V for +/-45V outputs.

[ontoaba]

I have seen this kind in Mackie subwoofers it is good for their complex supply, it need only one supply for both +/-.

[Workhorse]

Its not complex IMHO,

Under normal conditions the +/-15VDC is keeping the bjt amplifier into quiescent conditions and for large swings the floating mono battery just swaps its position to required polarity in order to juice up more voltage with respect to ground via mosfet switches and schottky diodes combination.

To make it more interesting one can use grounded collector or emitter with floating rails to overcome the need for high voltage preamp/vas stage.

No one replied yet, i am the first one to reply..........

Thanks for first reply,
Yes interesting, a current mirror like (see attachement).
Another interesting here: Their amplifier stages are simple, 9 transistors (8 without bias) for 600W into 12ohm, only 1pair A1943 C5200. No joke , it is real. They are mass produced.

I am now searching other than mackie that apply this to their amps, but no result this far

I think i can make a similar use of this topology in Mosfet grounded source configuration for Class-A on +/-20V and just one Floating High Voltage source to get more swing.

ontoaba, Are you wanting to diy a subwoofer? I'm thinking you could hurt
yourself seriously without the proper understanding and knowledge of the
fundamentals of electronics.

600W into 12ohm ( PMPO perhaps?) with only 1 pair of 2SA1943,2SC5200 no joke?

It is A JOKE That's B&S and misrepresentation. In commercial amps these 1 pair will only be 50W max. and it's pushing them really but the manufactuter knows you won't go there because long before this level your ears will bleed!

Use your common sense and I'm sure if you really examine
these high power amps even a modest one at 100W you need at least
2 pair of transistors per channel.Much less a 600 watter.

If you plan to build an amp and falsely spec your amp as a 600W
for example,you will discover that you have no business and lose
credibility because you are not giving what you promise at the quoted price
which you know in reality can not be done.Just look at a KRELL amp or any
el cheapo one.This is planet earth as far as I know startrek technology has
not reach here.No offence. Regards.

Singa,

The amplifier under discussion is not your regular Class-AB like a heat generator Krell.

With a rail tracking or multiple Tier switching getting 600W from just one pair of 5200/1943 is not a JOKE but a reality in itself.

84V rms and 7.5A rms are need for 600WRMS at 12ohms load<<< keep this in mind.

So better you update your Knowledge or remain a joke till your lifetime thinking about Krell and Class-AB amplifiers with so many parallel pairs of transistors to get a punny 300W.

[singa]

Sorry guys did'nt know this was a switching amp. My appologies.
Too quick on the gun.Class D... (wrong forum?)

Yes, that also working, but all batteries are floating, Mackie is winner working in classB with tracking rail. Still,, your configuration is better than what I have think before, it is full bridge in my mind for single supply.

Hi singa,
It is not classD, but linear amplifier with tracking rail, it has around 100V(their electrolyt is 160V) single supply converted into variable with buck converter, again only with single IRF640. Their components are very close to tiny amplifiers, but it really has that rating, 600Wrms into 12ohm. Its SWA1501.
See my first post picture. Without buck converter to track the rail, it become classH.

Hi ontoaba,
A buck converter is used in switching supply but perhaps
not as high frequency as class D any way I understand what you are saying.

I think we only need the mono battery + low tier bipolar supply floating for each channel and kick this thing into something powerful.
