Spooky and Hellraiser SMD 60W amps (Wolverine compatible IPS)

I have a request for symasui PCB which I made it myself using schematic in post 590, here is zip file containing Kicad and Gerber. I build it and test it, it runs OK with no problem but I did not use oscilloscope to probe it.
Thank you for the feedback and sharing the layout. Everything opens problem free using KiCad 7.

What output stage did you use with it?
 
value for R111 is 150ohm as per schematics and 220ohm as per BOM
Either would work , that resistor just sets the global current for the class A drivers. My smaller EF3 uses a 1W 270R (4.5mA) . 150R=10mA 220=6.5mA
This could slightly affect the bias range , but you have 10 turns of the trimmer (lots of spare range).
Drivers would be warmer with the smaller value , as well. Performance is the same.

Edit - "beast" uses the big drivers (TO-3p) , they prefer 150R.

To my knowledge , no one had built "hellraiser". A similar design was built in "slewmaster" days.
Hellraiser is a newer version of a 8 year old design.
Mini was built and there was 1 error , present "mini" is corrected.
PS - anyone who either builds a spooky or hellraiser will have the first AB amp that uses a voltage controlled CCS servo.
NO OEM or forum amp has this.

hi ostripper, I would have finished the entry stage with kicad right now. I think I reported everything without errors ( with the information you gave ). If you like, I can share it here and do a check, and then proceed with the final stage. The invitation is also addressed to anyone who is interested, of course.
Un saluto to all of you guys

do a check
I went back a few threads , only the dual packages had any suspected errors (spooky-hellraiser)??
Hellraiser is all singles , with the one Toshiba P/N dual.
It's the dual is what you have to double check (Q5N/Q4P - below).
The EF3's are tested.

good morning ostripper and everyone , thank you very much for your help. The reference scheme is the one you posted a few days ago; now I'm missing the latest updated bom (I have an incomplete bom where some values are different from the schematic). Can you tell me where I can find it please? thanks again, greetings to all Ros
 
Which one ? If you tell me which one I will update the BOM.
What is truly nice is that any small value difference in my designs will still result in a working
unit. I design to allow a wide variance in sourcing. Just about ANY modern semi would give the same
specs/stability. I've used 22-68pF cdom for spooky/hellraiser. THD ranges from 1-15PPM if you do that.
Most modern SMD bipolar's are 80-120 Mhz - circuit does not mind.

You want "hellraiser" - this seems to be the best version of it (below).
I have not been here for awhile , but I will backtrack through this thread and refine even a small complaint or
discrepancy. I'm using "Spooky' with a Wolverine board now - I want Hellraiser.

Hi Ostripper, the one with the smt components, the one with the HN1B01 chip at the input stage so to speak.... don't worry I have all the time so when you can you have 5 minutes left over I would be happy to receive your explanatory answers. greetings Ros
 
Hi,

need some help with SYMASUI components values. What is minimal voltage ratting for C4 cap?
if film cap is prefered then PET type with LS 5mm can be found
what about SMD option? X7R is OK for this position? no C0G options available
