Do you use a protection circuit for your SOHA or do you just be real careful with it?
post #3182 of 8598
so far just very careful, i will put one in there soon. going to either buy a e12 or build one

Here is a little project I have been working on for the last couple days.

naamanf : WOW! That's pretty much it, just WOW!

Wow, that is really sweet looking. Reminds me that I have to finish my B22

Do you have any conversion of unbalanced to balanced on the inputs? It looks like there are some boards under the JT but I cant make it out. Also, what brand are the headphone XLRs?

Beautiful work naamanf! I love all the inputs and outputs, and those heatsinks are huge!

Nothing you haven't seen before, my Pimeta in a cheap enclosure and missing my burned AD8620.

These are some boards I made up to to do the switching, power distro, and mounts for the Joshua Trees.



I am going to make a V3.0 of these and make it for PCB mounted XLR/RCA/Binding posts. Should save a lot of time in wiring. I feel stupid for not doing it originally.

I though about addind unbalanced to balanced conversion but didn't want to make it to complicated from the begging and figured it was really going to be for balanced use with a balanced source. I think for 3.0 I will look into
conversion. I know a Jensen transformer would work well but isn't the cheapest option. I am open for any good suggestions.

As for the front XLRs they are Switchcraft. I wanted a round XLR that didn't have any screws and it fit the bill. I don't think I would use them again because they are expensive and the locking mechanism sucks compared to the Neutriks. They were purchased from Mouser.

Looks like a lot of thought went into that board, nice work. On my b22 I will give Assemblycrafts BLD boards a go. They use DRV134/THAT1646 chips for the conversion, hopefully it will work ok. Im not shooting for tranformer-like performance, just an option to use SE input when needed.

Also, I remember Amb recommending me a heavy duty relay to switch speaker outputs. What relays are you using for that?

That is beautiful work. You've motivated me on some of my projects. Very professional

Wow. Really nice stuff. Can you give a link to those nice metal switches on your front panels. Thanks.

naamanf - Looks great, definitely first class work. What RCA jacks did you use?

I am using Omron G6A relays.

The DRV134 looks like a pretty simple circuit to use. I need breadboard a couple different options to see what sounds the best.

They are Bulgin anti-vandal switches from Mouser.
