100W Ultimate Fidelity Amplifier

8 Channel APEX A-14 amp build finished, sound awesome. Loud and clear , super silent and perfect of home audio.

Using as 7.1 audio system, with 12inch sealed sub-woofer driven by APEX B500 amp. Getting 7.1 channel analog output via Asus Xonar DX sound card and PC.

Listening to music is a pleasure. And playing GTA-V (PC Game) with surround sound effects is real fun. During game play all channels perfectly creates detailed surrounding audio effects around the player.

Thanks Apex for sharing such a nice amp with us.

Mostly done...Just few parts missing...Alex, I saw few changes, mostly filtration, but in schematic is 220uf near bias setting, and you have 2x470uf in series? Can you explain me, functionality this caps?

Hi maxwell007,
Are two 470uF capacitors ,back to back to simulate a non polarized capacitor ,one terminal connected to the ground and second terminal it's connected to +/- 1,2V voltage to swing trimpot by 470K resistor .... 😉 Please solder resistor witch it's parallel with output inductor on solder side ..... Nice work ,congratulation .
Regards,Alex
