Schematics
Hi,
I (Think) finiched the schematics for the crossover.
They can be found here : http://www.delta-audio.com/Active_Filter_Two/Active filter TWO ver 1.1 schematics temp.pdf
Please comment, so I can start work on the PCB.
I know the schematics are still a mess, but i have not had time to clean it up yet

Jens,
Couple of problems.
1. For both the HP and LP, the buffer is connected to the NI input, not the output!
2. No DC ground path at the inputs of IC2 and IC14 (both sets of inputs for both opamps)
And one comment:
If you provide a pad on the end of R002, jumperable to ground, you at least make it easier to use with balanced input. I support the general idea of not providing balanced out for simplicity's sake, but since adding balanced in only requires 2 more pads, why not?

Hello,

This is done to remove the different gains that set the Q of the filter - is it a bad idea?

Not sure what you mean by this - please explain

I'll do that ASAP - nice idea thanks

Updated schematics and first layout
Hi,
Please take a look at, and comment on the latest schematics and the first version of the PCB.

I am looking around for suitable Polypropylene or polystyrene capacitors for use in a customised version of the Mox.
Has anyone had any experience with the Panasonic P Series Polypropolene capcitors DigiKey Capacitors Part no P3103-ND used in active crossovers?
They are rated @ 50 volts and measure 8x4x7 mm, idea for pcb mounting.
The size and quality appear to attractive compared to large exotic capacitors. Altuallly I recall these are used in the Pearl RIAA Phono stage..

Is there lack of interest?
Hello,
Since there has been no or very little response to the work done so far, I’m not going to pursue the project any further.
Thanks for the input given so far
The page and info on the construction of the filter will be removed from my homepage and a new page will be started with a filter for prototyping that meets my own needs based on my original project.

I couldn't check the layouts you proposed (since I'm very busy with the Schuro-Reichelt group buy and the things to do to prepare my wedding
) but I confirm my interest in the MOX.
The response so far is probably low because probably not everyone understood that, besides working on your personal xover, you are still offering to make boards based on the MOX.
Cheers

Jens,
I think there is not much for people to comment about at the moment...the design specs are fixed, the layout is not controversial, and PCB routing isn't available for comment. If you decide to continue I do have a few comments but I haven't had the time in the last 24 hours to formulate them.
Perhaps a wiki should be setup to gauge the interest...people may not have comments but would like to buy boards. There were quite a few signups for the intial, aborted specs. For the record, I was thinking I would want 10 or so such boards.
If you are not interested in continuing I will probably take up the standard of a group order, so maybe you will be willing to pass on some of the work done to date.

Hi,
When the schematics and PCB are done, Ill post the gerber files for the PCB and A PDF of the schematics. Then someone else can set up a group order.
I don't have time for more projects right now, bacause I'm starting a new job. Therefor someone else with more time should set up the group order.
fair enough?
