Sownel,
Nice job!

Revised version of Apex F8.

I have made changes in layout by adding smd resistor parallel with trimpot to increase reliability in case of trimpot failure.
Value for trimpot will be 1k and SMD resistors 150Ω, both 805 and 1206 package will work.

Regards,
Sonal Kunal

Greetings mr.sonal kunal
Pls share fx11 2pair pcb layout in pdf formate
Thank you .
 
Sorry, Bangla, I'm not as fast as Terry and X :p

Only one channel is at test setup. Power supply is made for another amp, it gives +-33VDC. Protective resistors are included, amplifier input is shorted, output not connected.
Input and driver transistors are matched, so I got DC offset only 2mV.
At the moment idle current is about 100mA. Heatsinks are mild after an hour.
Everything seems OK, so now I'll test another channel and if all goes well, this evening amp will sing.

Quick question, is this F8 really an FX8? I can't find the F8 in either directory. Also, the schematic differs slightly from the pcb, marked in red. Also, the 1N4148's and 12V zeners are missing on the pcb. Ok, nevermind. I found it in the 100W ultimate fidelity amp thread.

There is no need of diode, zener protection when using K1058 and J162 because both device have them in build. This layout is only compatible with lateral fets with in-build diode, zener protection.

As for zobel, I used way Shaan implemented on PeeCeeBee V1.1 for better pcb space utilization.

the red marked components are just the zobel being split in two 10r and two 47nF in parallel .

Yes :D , only to say.
You have done a good careful build to that point- nice, better than me first.
Ripcord

You don't could see that amp before- it is a new worked out idea by Mile- like
every week. :p :p.
Than for as fellows the race can go on.
I also would go to collect experience in that simple amp with diamond buffer,
like xrk.

:cheers: Bangla.
 
This seems the final version of FH11

FH11 with modifications suggested by Mr. Miles.

@XRK, could you update schematic with modifications.

@Bangla H, I use sprint layout easy to use but more likely I make mistake while drawing layout. But it's fun once you get hang of it.
I started with eagle and still use it for digital layout.

Hello sonal kunal, could you please post the sprint file?
