apex stereo protect

Here's the .lay file for the stereo protect 🙂
This one is adapted to an single 15VAC secondary as an PSU,for higher voltages another relay and it's backing resistor value should be changed 😀
On the sidenote,I built that FH11 in the post above 😉

I redrew it also, for anyone that may want it. I included gerber files and pdf's.

Apex,

I have simulated the FH11 on LTSpice, trying several bias currents.

That's why I wanted to know the bias you used to get 0.045% THD @ 1KHz, getting 225watts for 8ohm load, and 60v p-p.

For 8ohms it would be impossible to get 225 watts with a +/-60v supply. What I get at 8ohms is 142 watts for 1KHz, and 0.004% THD. That is at pre-clipping levels.

Not superb, compared with a Honeybadger, for instance, but decent.

What I found is that output could be improved if the LTP THD is improved. In most designs I have simulated, the LTP was very good until it went through the VAS.

Which of your LTP inputs has lower THD?
