On that Dunlap Clarke Dreadnaught, the switch on the back marked “Max off Min”. Does it switch transformer secondary windings to give different power outputs, like the old Midas Cube Monitor Amps? |

ClassH 2 step!
Failed AB part from it, maybe oversized fuses, or fake 2SA 2SC output devices, the one wich burnt the 2 watts resistor are OPENED emitter, leaving the tension to chain burning other components , because the fuses did not blew when output devices fails...
Is an classical class H2 step OVERVOLT failing!

it looks to be a single channel of 5+5 devices on the left, plus 2 channels of 3+3 devices on the right, mirror split half way up the PCB on the right if you look. PSU has different raisl left and right side of the amp, I would guess the right side is 2 channels at a lower voltage than the left. just noticed its 5 DC supplies wires to each channel ... so theres a bit of rail switching going on Clearly purpose built as a 3CH, so most likely bass, mid, top from some sort 3 way box ... .looks too old/crap to be off a powered line array box .. ------------- My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker.

Cilla Leco and Dilbert are getting as warm as that amp was at one time!
It is a mono amp on the left and a class H (rail tracking) stereo on the right to give a 3-channel amp. You will notice that both L & R modules are blown, the one on the right has a large hole right through the board. All channels have the same no. of transistors on the other side of the heatsink. Yes it is Chinese, the sort with hotmelt glue on everything and makes of components that no-one's heard of. A guess of Make and Model is the next one to try! ------------- Kevin North Staffordshire |

Doesn't sound too shabby though, for what it does! This is mine, and the damage is pretty horrific considering I'd loaned this to somebody for a 'small bar charity gig' to run one basic reflex bin off the bass output, and it was meant to be baby sat by a friend. Curious what they decided to ram into the stereo outs to do this much savagery... Will be some stern words had once I get the invoice from the good man with it on the bench. |

Yes the myriad of little caps on the right on the camco are the bus caps high and low. The ones on the left bottom are the mains reservoir caps for the SMPSU.
I dont suppose it matters if they're small if the SMPSU is high enough frequency! Camco vortex 6 will do 6600W into 1 ohm in parallel mono or 4 ohm bridge. ------------- Kevin North Staffordshire |

A couple of oldies, A late HH MA150 and an early MA100
    Note the additional 'soft start' circuit(also converted to IEC inlet) which seems to work well.
 Powered by these(RCA 2n3773)
  The best part of these amps(apart from the sound obviously)!!
 Apart from a few crackly pots both these amps work perfectly although the earlier MA100 does run slightly hotter than the later 150 but it also sounds sweeter, they're also suprisingly loud!!

From an ETD 59 Core?
Be serious!
With alot of hard, I obtained 4400Watts of Pure Power from an ETD 59 core, on mine Resonant mode SMPS.
3500 Watts continuous from ETD 59 yes, is believable, but 6000Watts, regarding amplifier and SMPS randament,means around 7200-7500 Watts from the power supply stage
 .Also EMI filters are rated for 16 Amps, and power cable looks to be 2,5mm section, usable till 4 Kw. ------------- I'm A Stupid SMART Romanian... |

ahh .. wow. Now, that is NICE! ... got to be right up there with the Peavey IPR stuff in terms of production engineering. Cooling layout is good, someone thinking "out of the box" there ... few too many relays, but, very nice layout .. thats a neat amp! I think they could have offered a lot more in that little DSP than just two filters, but I suspect thats a marketing decision rather than a technical limitation. You can just see their custom drive chips to the left of the two main output heatsinks .. from reading their blurb, they are a custom ASIC from TI ... you don't go that route unless you are planning on making a LOT of them ... and it helps keep the competition from copying them :) Interestingly, the DSP area appears to have been auto-routed .. quite unusual to see much autorouted layout on audio gear .. ------------- My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker.

What do you think all those SMT resistors and leaded poly caps are underneath the speaker terminals are? Looks like it may be part of the output LPF? Not sure why there are all those resistors. |
Posted By: cilla.scope
Date Posted: 28 December 2010 at 2:31pm

I suspect they are the output Zobel network, you can't get very big SMT resistors, and they obviously preferred 50 SMT resistors to 1 hand inserted leaded device ... 50 SMTs will have been cheaper both in component count and assembly costs.

Re: "I allways wondered why HH never added an extra output stage,and made it a stereo (2x100w) amp.there was allways plently of room to have done it.....especially in the S130 slave,which was mostly fresh air inside!" Think the answer to this is that the early versions were based upon identical circuitry for the Power Amps in their TPA series - first of the IC100 guitar Amps had a different power amp PCB and MJ2501/3001 Darlington output transistors.... The pic you have is of a later version. Mik ------------- Warning! May contain Nuts plus springs, washers, screws, etc, etc. |

I have an old Grundig hi-fi amp which took this one step further - the mains switch was right by the cord's inlet, and the front panel button moved it with a system of nylon cord over pulleys and levers! The matching tuner changed bands by physically changing the RF stage PCB to a different one mounted on a carousel when you turned the knob. I'll try and get some photos up...amp's got a very serious transformer. It's done with source selector switches in modern gear to try and reduce the signal path length, although unless the amp is really, really electrically noisy I can't really see the benefit. |

One I had the misfortune to repair recently. Luckily only the bridge rectifier and soft start NTC's which had failed but still had to fight my way through the jungle in order to get to the relevant parts. Absolutely bloody ridiculous design in terms of internal wiring. And mostly because they're too cheapskate to use double sided PCB's. This picture was taken after I'd tried to loom it up with cable ties but that was a fairly pointless exercise. |

That's one of the annoying things about it really. In some ways it's not a bad design at all. Just a shame they couldn't get the internal wiring correct. Incidentally the original fault was probably caused by the sh1t pressed paper PSU PCB snapping in one corner and allowing the underside to touch the case, shorting one of the supply rails to ground and blowing the bridge rectifier. |
