Working with a Conrad Johnson SA120 and having to replace outputs on one
channel. Have a circuit prior the drivers that consists of a single transistor that is positioned between the drivers ( bipolar driving a pair of mosfet drivers) collector driving gate of one driver emitter gate on other driver. Question I have is that there is a pot on the base collector of this circuit of this bipolar which I am aware should be the bias set. Is there any standard practice for setting this pot ? I assume one is trying to set the appropriate turn on range for the driver and output circuits ( 2sk405's, 2sj 115's). Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks |

ask the manufacturer for the service information that should state the bias setting and the method of applying and where to take the measurements.

A general way to do it is when amp is warm:
1/ put your meter across output resistor and put meter on volts setting. 2/ turn bias pot until min volts on meter. 3/ Apply a sine wave to input and monitor output on scope. 4/ Turn bias up slowly until crossover distortion disappears.

@ nigelwright7557 , do you recommend a certain amplitude of the output signal?
I think the sine wave should be ~1V peak to peak at output, and the scope set accordingly, this way the crossover distortion would be more obvious. |
