Retro Amp - final product
Posted 26th August 2014 at 01:18 PM by googlyone
I finally got the retro am finished. At least to the point of all the parts set to work, the case built and assembled and wired up.
The photos really don't show just how orange it is, nor does he slant in the case "pop out" as much as it does in real life.
Yes, I did the "writing" on the front panel by hand with a paintbrush.... I came close to getting the thing CNC milled, but concluded that the hand painted approach would be (a) fun, (b) a new challenge, and (c) more in line with a retro amp
The amplifier has:
- A digitiser on its input.
- DSP implementing crossover and volume control
- Four channels of amplifier, the sub is running in bridged mode, and the highs as single channels. I needed to do this as the sub is old, and 16 Ohms (!). But it works a treat.
Well, now all I need to do is final checks on the wiring, and run the thing up.
The crossover and DSP is set up, then locked away inside the case, hiding all this nasty "modern-ness".
I look forward to hearing this thing running with the speakers out in the shed!
