ACA active speaker project

Funny question, Patrick!

I have given my ACA#1s a 4 x 20VAC/custom-wound torroid, being followed by Jasons's CAP-multiplier and resulting in / adjusted it to an operating voltage of about 24VDC.

What else can I tell you?

Best regards - Rudi
 
Too bad I just noticed this thread, I believe no more boards are available. If you do version 2 count me in for 2 PCB.

I really like the idea of having both the ACA and Jason's Cap Multiplier on a single PCB. Nicely done Rudi ! I really like the 75mm height, just perfect for a 2U enclosure.

Would a typical 2U heatsink of 0.425 C/W (300x90x40)mm per channel be OK. Not sure what is the bias value when working the unit at 24Vdc instead of 19Vdc. (Excluding the 2k2 fix)

Thanks,

Eric

@ HerrErnie, JamieMcC, mcgillroy, mordikai,

Gentlemen, I have received the ACA-PCBs today and will take your parcels to the post-office this afternoon.

I have attached the BoM for one PCB.
When you order parts, have a careful look at the needed grid ("package") of the parts.

The ACA#1 is described here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/diyaudio-com-articles/214808-amp-camp-amp-1-a.html
Jason's Cap Multiplier (in case you will use it) is described here:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/powe...lified-mrevil-pmi-capacitance-multiplier.html

If you have any questions during your build: post it here or send me a PM.

Best regards - Rudi_Ratlos

notized to late the possibility

Hallo Rudi.

That is bad, that in so short time all your excellent ideas based boards are gone.
:yikes::bawling:
In last days i have finished a 2,2kR mod ACA with 19V Notebook PSU, so i
registered now the new possible way with higher Rail voltage get more musicality out.
The ACA is really a amazing tiny Amp.

If your nice boards not to get i must go longer, different way.

These project with your friends looks very professionell, like other stuff what you done before, excellent.

Any way you do a new order and sell the boards?

Regards, enjoy listening music Bangla.
 
Hi,

When using the ACA with Cap Mult, would a single transformer (100VA) with 2 output windings of 20Vac be sufficient for a stereo amp. This is basically 20Vac @ 2.5A / ch.
Planning to run the ACA at 24Vdc without the 2k2 mod, is the bias with 24Vdc around 1A ?

Transformer is the Antek AN-1220.

Thanks,
Eric
