Yes, the board is nice dear Alex mm

Thank you.

Well Yosemite, seems he tried to avoid the long strip we usually make when we have a lot of power transistors... installing both sides we reduce the length and this results in a more squared board in the place to be rectangle and very loooong.

I do think both layouts are fine.

regards,

Carlos

I do not know dear Evette.... after july 15th we gonna start to move.

This question should be made to Microsim, he will be the owner of this design and he will decide these details.

If you understand Portunhol, a [video=youtube;EM43LFDNXsQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM43LFDNXsQ[/video]mix of Portuguese and Spanish, then watch the attached video please.

MKIII prototype assembled and tested...schematic is fine

Anything need to be changed or tuned or tweaked....this is a low power test...soon i will produce the high power test too.

MKIII was submited to high power testing using a 550VA supply

55 plus 55 volts supplies.... i have not stronger supply, so, testing must be made this way..scope is damaged too (SMPS supply to the Cathodic Ray Tube).

Measurements where made using resistive loads and multimeter..this is not precise, but can give us an idea...power simulated is shown in the attached chart.... and real power measured (with 550VA supply, or weak supply) is show in the video and also in the chart to 1.1 ohms, 2.7 ohms and 7 ohms while playing music from MP4 player.

Video explains details about.

Dx Blame MKIII is now MKIII Hx or call it Hx to be simple

Was upgraded and updated and i will publish here, for a while, only schematic...more details published in the www.diyaudio.com in the solid state section.

I am short in time..will put details here in he future.... Alex mm will provide you new boards and new layout in black and white to etch.

This amplifier cannot operate in 1 ohm anymore, had special sonics, awsome clarity, low distortion, high speed and wonderfull dinamics...can put out more than one kilowatt to each channel but distortion in this case jumped to 10 percent.

Low distortion specification is 200/340 and 500 watts and speaker impedance is 8/4 and 2 ohms while distortion is 0.008 % THD

regards,

Carlos

Here a sample from the MKIII Hx

A hair raising amplifier...the slew rate, the treble attack, dinamics are excellent....here you have a sample that is unable to make justice to the audio quality, as my digital camera is not able to record high frequencies, nor dinamics and also deep bass is not perfect.
