hypex ncore

[adamskogman]

Hi,

I'm a DIY beginner, and I have been toying with the idea of building nCore monoblocks in a simple chassie. I thought I'd get some feedback to see if I'm on the right track.

The chassie I'm thinking of is this one: The Modu Slimline 2U 435mm x 170 mm
modu. It should give me plenty of space in all directions to comply with distances for high power devices etc.

Here's a mockup of the layout that I have in mind. I'd really like your thoughts on which way around to mount the nCore and SMPS for best cable routing.

If any of you have ordered from Modu before and would like to share back panel layouts, I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks!

If your amp gives you a shock, I think you need to reconsider your ground topology

Erlend you clearly stated earlier that you don´t like these amps - why do you keep posting in this thread ??

Looks good to me - with that much space, it should be pretty straightforward.

No power switch?

Erlend (not "Emmelt," sorry friend!) is onto something. I can hide electrodes in the sofa...

I did not say I do not like them. I think they are very good.

This is an area where class D and SMPS, with their inductors and HF switching, are much better suited than linear stuff... Now, if we just change the transformer ratios a bit... I can see ways to provide a truly electrifying experience in the spirit of Nikola Tesla...

Yes, I think I need a power switch . Was thinking of getting a combined IEC socket and rocker switch, to keep it simple. Is that good or bad?

I don't have any cables going to the J1 aux & control on my blueprint. Am I missing something there?

Again, many thanks.
