What Drivers Do They Use? – Perlisten

Baldin

I was at the Sound Society HiFi show here in CPH DK last weekend and had the fortune to listen to both the r5t and the s7t Limited Edition.What stood out to me, besides overall very very good sound, was the stereo perspective. It was unusually wide and precise. It was similar for the 2 set of speakers and I would therefor assume it is down to the concept of the tweeter/mid array. (it was probably down to the room/setup/where I was sitting but I actually liked the sound from the much cheaper r5t over the super expensive s7t Limited … Continue reading What Drivers Do They Use? – Perlisten

Class D using PQFN 5X6 mm MosFets

In my quest for making an all SMD Class D amp (see other post) I found that you can get some really good new Fets in very small PQFN 5x6mm packages. Some even come with a dual cooling option where you have a cooling pad on top as well as on the bottom. Gives a lot of opportunities. I decided to try out some of these fets, namely the FDMS86200DC from Onsemi, which is a super fast 150 V, 35 A, 18 mOhm fet. As it is only 150V the power in 8 ohm will be limited, but still using … Continue reading Class D using PQFN 5X6 mm MosFets

All SMD Class D AMP

Baldin

I have been thinking about creating an All SMD component Class D amplifier. The purpose would be to keep a totally clean back side of the PCB, so that mounting the amp to a heatsink or an aluminum plate would be as easy as just using a foam heatsink spacer in the full size of the PCB, with maybe a single or 2 screws as a safety measure if the adhesive should somehow slip over time. I have over the last month been in the process of changing to KiCad 6.0, having been used to some old student versions of … Continue reading All SMD Class D AMP
