Its Alive!

Yes my amp is alive! This morning i worked on the power supply and after lunch, i decided to connect it all up! Yay it works! Haha but at the start i connected one wire wrongly. Its the Base and Emitter of the transistor that i connected wrongly and i just swapped them around and there was magic! Here are some pictures:

Power supply in the making. Cap bank of 30000uF per rail. +/-16V, full wave DC rectification.Mounted the amp onto the heatsink

Connected everything up togetherTurned it on and it works after repairing one fault.

Now time for some maths. As you can see, the multimeter is reading 734mV. So in other words its 0.734V. The yellow and green crocodile clips are measuring the potential difference between this 0.6Ohm resistor.

V=IR

0.734V = (I)(0.6Ohm)

I = 1.22A

Thats a reasonable quiescent current. But after letting it idle for awhile, its current quiescent current is around 1.21A which is still a reasonable value. Most probably i would bias it even higher to around 1.5A cause my heatsink is like damn big and now the heat emiting from it is quite low.

Now gonna hook a speaker to it and have a listen. See ya!
