Power amp under development

You will have to disconnect the internal amplifier from the driver first. See if you can remove the driver and access the amplifier, do not attempt to dismantle the enclosure. Once you have access inside, disconnect the amplifier from the input terminals and from the driver. Once this is done, you can connect the NMOS output to the driver. Always remember, do not connect the output of one power amplifier to the input of another one, there's bound to be a lot of fireworks!!!

Hi
Oh!!!!!!!! misunderstanding !!! . My friend I have Nmos to run my two speakers (left and right) and I want to connect the sub woofer along with the speakers for more bass. the stereo signal I have from the DVD how can I convert them into mono and send them to my sub woofer. will that make sense? let me show you a diagram

So you have only simulated it?

In a real circuit with parts that have tolerances VR2 and the series resistor will need greater adjustment range. The series resistor needs to be reduced in value and the potentiometer increased in value.

Source resistors will be needed or else the FETs won't share current very well. They might need to be a bit larger than 0.1 ohm.
 
By Niroborn:What do you think about that kind of modification?
Very cool 2 pole miller, I've actually built the EF BJT version
(father of Quasi) with this mod. I think the 2 cascodes are unnesessary as
the slight PSRR advantage and lower voltage across the LPT
do not justify all those added parts.(maybe 1 cascode if you ran
+-75V) On the CCS side of the LPT a red led with decoupling
cap is good enough.VD5 is a good idea that I actually use as well,
(just in case).

Also 2 pairs IRFP260 would indeed be "pushing it' :hot: for 2 ohms !
(4-5 pair recommended)

Yes, I've only simulated it yet, but I'm gonna solder it shortly.

It,s a good idea, I'll consider it.

I've tried to put source resistor, but there is a problem with simmetry of half waves that way. Can't explain in details - lack of technical english, you know.

Thanks for you presious comments, I'll consider them.
All that cascods and diod circuits they are slightly improving THD, bandwidth and very cheap, so I think why not. The THD on 20kHz sine wave <0.05% in 1MHz band at nominal power (300w 2 ohm). That's what simulation tells. What's in real life I can't tell yet.
In original NMOS amp I've used 2 pair of IRFP260N at even 1 ohm half year ago - they are still alive.
 
Ferencz, what are your opinions on the "quasi" line of amps ?
(Design flaws/changes/improvements)

I am testing a universal "blameless" design and left the board
open to any design change.

The one I am experimenting on now is a EF "non-Qausi"
using BJT's , (sort of a "father of quasi"). 😀

You're right, there is no need for that diode here. That's only sufficient when the OP devices are BJT.

Anyway the schema has more design mistakes... I wouldn't recommend to build it.

Well ferencz I must tell you that your words are not correct.One guy "mrrocky" has already built Quasor amplifier with succes.I will try too translate his words...

Legend Quasor is finished,it sounds very good,DC voltage on speaker is 8mV and sound is better than Legend Stage Master witch I also built.Hi tested also Zeck PT-5(500W at 4ohm) amplifier and after listening we have confirmed that QUASOR was better(sound) than the Zeck at least 2 times and also it's more powerfull than Zeck.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Why you don't recommend quasor???
