6、d transients with ease, and has no problem withany size and type of loudspeaker load: even themost demanding.These characteristics are the result of several newtechnologies and components. For instance theunique power supply which assures a stable andnoise free operation. The special toroidaltransfo

8、for the input section, driver sectionand the logic and indicator section.Much attention has also been paid to the physicallayout, the positioning of components and theinternal grounding. This results in a equivalent inputnoise value of 1 V (-120 dBV): remarkable for apre-amp, but really astounding f

24、 Service Manual 7 6. GENERAL CHECKLISTBefore you test or service the Project Eighteenplease check the following items. They will giveinformation about the current status of the amplifier.Note: The Project Eighteen will become warm, socorrect placement is critical. Do not position it ontop of or clos

25、e to other heat-radiating equipment(such as other power amps) or in direct sunlight.Please ensure unrestricted ventilation aroundthe component.Optical connectionsThe optical CONTROL IN (4.) is light-sensitive. Astrong light source might therefore activate theCONTROL function and switch the Project E

26、ighteento Standby.While this mode has priority the amplifier can notbe activated with the Standby switch at the frontpanel.Before you start connecting equipment it is alwayswise to check whether all the mains cables of allcomponents are disconnected from the mainsoutlets!This will prevent any damage

27、 to the loudspeakersand amplifiers caused by incorrect wiring orsettings.Connect the mains cable after you have connectedall other components in the system and havedouble-checked all connections.Switching the amp onBefore you switch the power amp on you shouldalways first: connect a pre-amp connect

28、the pre-amps Control Out to the poweramps Control In or place the dummy plug in the Control INconnectorAfter switching the amplifier ON it will selectStandby mode and the following will happen:.1. The output relays are disconnected.2. The input relays are disconnected.3. The Control Out will show a

29、red light.4. The biasing relays reset the bias current tostandby level.5. The red LED (1.) will light.Pressing the Standby-button (2.) will activate theamplifier and the LED turns to green.Protection modeIf at any time the output DC-offset exceeds 500 mVthe protection mode will activate.This will re

30、set the amp to Standby mode and thegreen LED (1.) will change to red.Note: Externally there is no way of telling whetherthe amp is in protection or standby mode!This can only be checked inside the housing: LEDLD 102 will be illuminated in protection mode.The protection mode can only be deactivated b

32、ly and werecommend using this same cable for all externalconnections.If you have the choice between longer loudspeakercables or longer audio cables, choose the latter(cables between pre-amp and power amp willcause the least signal quality loss).SPHINX Project Eighteen Service Manual8 7. ADJUSTMENT P

33、ROCEDURESThe Project Eighteen has eight adjustable settings,meaning four adjustment procedures per channel:1. High Bias: to set the bias current of the power-transistors for normal use2. Low Bias: to set the bias current of the power-transistors for standby mode3. Offset: to set the minimal DC volta

34、ge for theoutput4. Common Mode: to maximise the commonmode rejection of the balanced inputRe-adjustment of one or more might be necessarydue to ageing or when parts have been replaced orrepaired.After removing the top cover plate you will clearlysee the two separate channel sections.High BiasWith th

35、is procedure you set the proper bias level forthe power transistors. This ensures their Class Aoperation at low power levels.Connect the amplifier according to the drawing“Connecting diagram for testing the project 18”(page 13).The input of the amplifier must be shorted (by wayof the MUTE function o

36、f the oscillator). Switch the amplifier ON (not in StandbyMode!) and wait until it has reached the properoperating temperature (this takes an hour). Set the millivolt-meter to the DC-range. Place the two measuring clips of the meteracross one of the emitter resistorsLeft Channel: R468, R469, R472, R

37、473, R476,R477, R480 and R481.Right Channel: R268, R269, R272, R273, R276,R277, R280 and R281 (see schematic at page15). The level should be 60 mV DC (3 mV).If not: adjust potmeter P402 (Left) or P202(Right) until the level is 60 mV. Switch the oscillator on and set it to 1 kHz and alevel of 0 dBu.

38、Check the distortion with a THD analyser: itshould be at the specified value (0.01% IHF-A 1 kHz). If this is correct the procedure is finished. You may now switch off the amplifier orcontinue with another adjustment procedure.Attention:When re-adjusting any setting please ensure thatthere is no loud

39、speaker connected to the output!Otherwise the loudspeaker may be seriouslydamaged.Attention:The amplifier is able to generate high outputvoltages of over + or -60 V.Please be very careful during the adjustments!Attention:All emitter resistors should show the same 60 mVvalue. If not, the correspondin

41、cessaryincreased warm-up period after switching the ampon.If this setting is too high the amplifier will consumemore electrical power than necessary.Connect the amplifier according to the drawing“Connecting diagram for testing the project 18”(page 13).The input of the amplifier must be shorted (by w

The level across each resistor should be 5 mVDC (0.25 mV).If not: adjust potmeter P403 (Left) or P203(Right) until the level is 5 mV. Then switch the ampli

If this is correct the procedure is finished. You may now switch off the amplifier orcontinue with another adjus

45、tment procedure.OffsetThe Offset adjustment procedure minimises the DCoffset value of the amplifier output. This DC offset isimportant when capacitive loads are used, such aselectrostatic loudspeakers. These loudspeakersoften use a very low-impedance step-uptransformer. The amplifier sees this load

Switch the amplifier ON not in Standby Mode!)and wait until it has reached the

47、 properoperating temperature (this takes an hour). Set the millivolt-meter to the DC-range. Place the measurement clips of the meter overthe output terminal. The level should not exceed +5 or -5 mV DC.If not: adjust potmeter P404 (Left) or P204(Right) until the level is within this range. Switch the

48、 oscillator on and set it to 1 kHz and alevel of 0 dBu. Check the distortion with a THD analyser: itshould be at the specified value (0.01% IHF-A 1 kHz). If this is correct the procedure is finished. You may now switch off the amplifier orcontinue with another adjustment procedure.Attention:Be caref

49、ul not to trip the offset protection mode. Itwill activate when the output DC offset exceeds+/-500 mV.This is indicated by Internal LED LD 102.This mode will be reset if the DC offset is adjusted towithin the proper limits.Please be careful during the adjustments!SPHINX Project Eighteen Service Manu
