One last question about the gain modules modif. The 0603 resistors, what power rating is recommanded (1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16, etc) ?
Thanks Sonny!
Do
I use 1/10W but it does not matter because we have like 5 - 10mW at maximum in those resistors mentioned.

If the ones who have ordered would like to take a look on the picture and see if the assembly of the power transistor is okay!?
Then we could install the power transistors.
Vgeorge?
Vitalica?
Aboe?
Joseph K?
Ravid?
Steven?
By the Way that is 16 channel's until now... Thanks the interest and support in my products

Could you please be more specific? A picture of the options would help.
Also I can confirm that Sonny' s after sale support is excellent so far.
When I had problem or when for an unknown reason burned on channel of an amp, Sonny was there to solve the problem.

It looks fine form me, I don't know if there are other options.

Transistor orientation is fine for me.

Hi Sonny ,
I want under pcb (as in the picture).
Thank you.
Mirand A1 V1.2 description
Supernet has got the same info but:
I am Making a Manual that will be released later today.
The basic information right now is:
It is a Current feedback design, that I have been working for years and slowly have been updated on several point.
One thing that I value very high is that the idle current in every stage is stable. So a basic design gets a bit complicated because of my goal. It means for example that my VAS stage has fixed current of around 4mA, this in return gives a fixed impedance of the VAS stage. Again during heat up we have a stable openloop gain so that the amplifier has nearly the same sound signature from cold to warm state. Only part that drifts very slowly is the bias current of the output stage but that is due to heat up of the output devices from cold to warm state. This in return makes it very easy to set the Bias because we do not have a fluctation in VAS stage.
Some of the issues that can be a pain in DC coupled Current feedback is that we have a fluctation on the DC offset. Not much if done right but we have choosen to add a DC Servo because if the Source puts out DC it will get multiplied by the gain of the amplifier.
DC offset is monitored as well as supply voltage. We have an under voltage detect that trips below +/-21V.
DC offset + startup + under voltage lockout disables the SSR relay in the output. Which has a ON resistance of 8mOhm.
Only trimming necessary is Bias current.
The specs are:
Board size : 71x110mm
All bipolar design.
Minimum current consumption : 50mA
Minimum bias current : 25mA
Supply voltage : +/-24VDC to +/-50VDC
Slewrate : 300V/uSec
Bandwidth : 1.2MHz
Power rating at +/-46VDC : 80W@8R, 150W@4R, 250W@2R

Correction!! Q5 should Also be removedNew Gain module and how to modify the previous version
We have a new Gain module on its way. It sounds better and the current is lower and less heat.
Now existing customers can change there modules if they are experienced in SMT assembly.
Look at the attached picture.
X = remove, If red line (Q3) then a short.
z = 0R 0603 resistor
Y = 620R 1% 0603 resistor
W = 22pF
The new Gain module cost 80€
