Little about my design philosophy : At every amps I have PA and PS at the same PCB. This solution give shortest rail and ground traces and if is good designed, nobody can't make some mistake by completation ( similar conception have Dan Agostino at his new types of Krell ). Also at every amps I'm using copper or aluminium bars for output and driver + VAS transistors. This solution have several advantages : bars can be used like quite precise rail with really great diameter. Thermal coupling between output devices and biasing circuit is most precise. And last advantage is, that all I can set up and control outside chassis, 'cos thermal absorbability of bars is sufficient, which also help by reparing.

Thanks, guys 😎 I'm sorry for bad quality of pics...

Awesome work!

The pcb layout is very impressive. I like the way the whole logical
flow from power supply at one end -> OP stage -> drivers -> IP stage is
done. You have obviously put a tremendous amount of
thought into this.

What size roughly is the PCB. It looks pretty long.

Any specs for this beast?

Cheers,

Terry
 
PCB is 95x370 mm, if you hold it in hand, isn't so great, Terry...Parametres I can only calculate, 'cos I had made similar older types : Output power - 400 W into four, 250 W into eight. Full power bandwidht - 500 kHz. SNR - more than 120 dB, ref. to full output power. Distortion - 1 dB bellow clipping - 0.001 %, 1 kHz, 0.003 %, 20 kHz. IMD - 0.001 %...But they are only preliminary data..😎
 
This amp isn't for commercial usage, only for my own enjoy - normal amateur don't have bag of mosfets for selecting... But I'm preparing " smaller brother " of this amp, with output power 250 W / 4, 150 W / 8, where will be only four mosfet in parallel and there will be selection easier. Size of PCB will be the same, but there will be also protection circuity... This PCB will be still nicer... 😎
