Pavel Dudek's (Upupa Epops) LM4780 amp

Hi Pavel,

I can't seem to get through to you by email. I was wondering what the final cost of the boards were, including shipping (I live in the US). Also, how you like to receive payment. My email is:

Best regards

Steve
 
Thanks to PMA you can see measuring results of distortion LM 4780 in PA 03 module, measured by his multitone method. You can compare distortion of generator with distortion of complete amp. All is measured by output power 5 W / 8 Ohm and results are surprisely good. At first distortion of generator by 10 kHz :

100dB with 16bit measuring resolution?:scratch:

from Spectraplus help:

"An important factor in determining the quality of the sampled sound is the number of bits per sample. This specifies the number of discrete levels that are used in the analog to digital (A/D) conversion process and directly affects the dynamic range of the measurement. The theoretical dynamic range is shown below:

8 bit sampling precision = 48 dB
16 bit sampling precision = 96 dB

In practice, the achievable dynamic range is less that the theoretical maximum due to internal noise and other factors. Refer to your sound card documentation for the actual performance figures."
 
2x220W/4ohm questions...

I'm looking for amps to power a pair of Siegfried Linkwitz's Thor subwoofers - Pavel's website says that the PA03 modules can be paralleled for high current output 220W/4ohm operation amking it perfet for the job. (And much cheaper than the $750 amp Siegfried suggests).

Are two modules needed for 2x220W or four modules?

Also, what does his kit contain? Just the PCB or everything except the power transformers, rectifiers, and PS caps?

For a subwoofer amp would I need 2 or 4 transformers?
