MOSFET Amplifier IRFP240/IRFP9240

the MOSfet output stage could be biased anywhere from zero mA to full ClassA.
The designer tells us this circuit works with 10mV across 0r47 (~21mA/device).

Why do you think that recommendation is wrong?

Could Borbely's advice for a total bias >=500mA and individual device bias >=100mA also be wrong?
 
This is minimum heatsink (400x100x50mm) if use amplifier for Hi-Fi .

I made version of this amplifier with OP amp in front. The MOSFETs used are IRFP9240 (P) and IRFP240 (N). They are assembled in a common source configuration so they can be completely saturated. Good sound, but audiophiles don't like OP amp in front, I can't change what people like or not, no metter what is the best.

Hello Mile
Do you mind posting the schematics for the OP based version?
Thanks!
 
Hi, Sorry to start from the beginning. I want to try this HV350 amp:). Sorry i don't have experience of MOSFET amplifier design. This is my first project. Are you recommend this amp for first project.?.. If you have interest Please help me to complete my first project.

lot of discussion are going behind the design. so please give me the final circuit and component value.

I finished my PCB design for this amp. I want to start this amp with low power first. I have some questions.
1. I have +33v/0/-33v supply. I want to start from this range. (24v/0/24v transformer)
2. What are the settings should i made before start with this supply range.
3. Is it necessary to connect 4+4 MOSFET for this low power setting.
4. I have 150W/8E woofer. Is it enough for testing.
5. what should be the bios value for this supply range and what are the procedure to set the bios. how to set the bios current.
6. May i use this amp for my subwoofer amplifier.
7. How to calculate the output power of an amplifier.

Thank you. I have lot of interest in this amp:). I will post my hardware photograph with in two days. sorry for my English:(.....

With +/-33V single pair of output FETs is enough, you can see circuit in post #239, and wireing in post #145. Bias adjust to get about 20mV on 0R47/5W resistor. Power will be about 50W on 8R load with +/-33V DC. You can use this amp for any aplication, and I think beginer can build it with my help.
