Destroyer x Amplifier...Dx amp...my amplifier

[Rudi_Ratlos]

For a DIY - Newbie like me it is very hard to get into the DIY - business.

Since NORDIC's "shop" (www.dxamp.com) is offline, I decided to etch the PCBs myself. After a lot of time (and some failures) I finally suceeded.

Now I have to drill the holes into the PCBs, but since I only own a 1000 Watt drillhammer I have to buy some suitable equipment.


This morning I read that the layout of the PCBs which I took from Greg's site is not the current one.
In the meanwhile there exists a DXAMP II PCB-layout.

Shall I continue nevertheless continue or wait for Nordic's return?

Dx High Resolution II was called HRII to me simple to speak.

We have the Dx Amplifier, also called Dx amp, or Dx Standard.

Also DHR Turbo, and Dx Precision 1, also called Precision 1...also Dx Trust (old style)

High speed Dremmel will burn the hole while drilling...try to reduce the voltage to see if your machine reduce speed...too much fast burn the holes made.

Nordic have disappeared...i am afraid he is not fine..or very sick or worse than that..and this second possibility i do not want even to think about..i want not to believe he passed away.... well, he made a very nice job with boards and several forum folks (around a 100) have build Dx Amplifier using his boards.

While the Nordic website was up I printed out some pages of the DX HR II and I have also scanned them to the web.

These may help (pdf).

heheheh..more than 400 watts RMS (8 ohms)....will it Toast during Test?

we gonna see soon.

Carlos,

play any song of "Blood, Sweat and Tears": for example: "Spinning Wheel (dremel)".
Someting to "slow down my state of mind".

Where can I order 2 pieces of "NPO Ceramic / Silver Mica, 22 pF" according to Greg's "Bill of materials"?

Well: I will find out.

Best regards - Rudi_Ratlos

there are two wire jumpers...also you have to run a wire from the zobel filter output capacitor to ground...you see the blue one into the image....the big blue one is the zobel filter capacitor.

also other indications are show into the board image..your board picture with something written over.

regards,

Carlos

I'm was looking for a subwoofer amplifier a long time back.. Currently I have a simple Sub-Amplifier which is driven by TIP33c and TIP34c. But not that powered like DX for sure. This is an effort to redesign DX amp with a lowpass filter. Still not completed. AS I have mentioned I'm not a good designer and not good at electronics as well but just giving a try to do something that make me happy
lowpass filter is my own creation with help of a lot of web stuff.. it is not tested.. pls do not try it yet.. wanna fine tune the board.. So tired looking at the screen..

I hope you build and tell us how your unit sounded.

Bora sent me a suggestion to correct off set..... good one.

here is Bora suggestion.

Thank you dear Bora...but this one gave me some troubles to put it to work, i had to change some resistances and reduce current into drivers, also bootstrapp was changes, and also the input differential load resistances were changed..that circuit was not aproved.... i will try the 62 volts version or folks can build the Dx Amplifier, the standard one, or can produce the DHR Turbo, or even the Precision 1.

I am tweaking the Dx Amplifier, to work fine using 62 volts supply... this is under testing..for a while.
