ugh, soo, thought i was all finished up populating the boards and mounting them to the case etc when i realized that i mounted q1-q4 as the silkscreen indicated - incorrectly

. think im just gunna order up a new batch and wait the week rather than try and refit these already trimmed ones.

on a different note, has anyone had any experience with http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalo...s/image006.jpg
the foculpods by spectra dynamics? what kind of mounting system do they employ..?

Backplane arrived today,
now i have to start building seriously

Great day

 

[gates_2]

got the boards installed on the backpane... everything sounds/looks good... John from par-metal never responded to my email

seems like I'll have to give him a ring

 

[el_matt0]

ya dont bother emailing john lol. i tried about 5 times to no avail. calling on the other hand - very good idea. if not his secretary, you'll probably be able to get john himself on the phone. ordering from par-metal was very straightforward..they took about a week to ship once i ordered, at which point i was billed. delivery took about 1.5 weeks to BC canada.

Thats it! I couldnt remember so I made up my own phrase. The original one is better.

 

[el_matt0]

wow, seems like this thread has been absolutely dead with my absence of silly questions! anyways, heres one more "classic" from myself. im just in the stages that im about to begin the wiring up of my 4 channel b22, i was originally planning to use just 2 balanced inputs and 2 balanced outputs. however, after thinking about it more, i think i definitely want at least a few RCA inputs as well as either 1 or 2 SE outputs. is this just a simple matter of wiring as per the schematic in the "other options" section of AMBs site?

now, assuming im relatively along the right lines here, would that reQUIRE me putting an input selector of some sorts? also, kind of a similar question regarding the outputs, would i need to incorporate an output selector, or would it just run all outputs simultaneously? if thats the case, using a quad pot would obviously change the volumes of all headphones plugged in , so the only issue would be differing impedences of the headphones? SORRY again i really hate asking questions like this

That diagram assumes that you'll have the balanced and unbalanced inputs connected one at a time, not simultaneously. If you don't want to be pulling connectors then you'd need an input switch (4PDT minimum). A quad pot will adjust all channels simultaneously.

You don't need to switch the outputs.

buying the boards for the x22s end of the month when i get my salary!

may i ask for some suggestions on parts upgrades?
Will be using blackgate caps non polarized versions if its possible and im torn between DACT stepped attenuator and twisted pear joshua tree or just buy the black beauty?
and 1 more question...
in the sigma22 whats the main difference between 2x 2200uF and 1x 4700uF?

 

[Clutz]

amb suggests you use the default parts and not bother with expensive boutique caps, because they are unnecessary in this design.
