NOTES
-
R7 changed to 52.3k to remove excess negative DC offset at the output of the amp
-
R4 changed to 8.2 Ohms and 220uF bipolar capacitor added to remove DC offset at Edcor input (pin 1)
-

MEASURES
-
Rails: +/- 17VDC under load
-
DC offset at speaker teminals: +/- 50mV cold, +/- 2mV hot
-
BIAS: 0.75A
-
Gain: 20dB
-
THD+N (at 1 Watt into 8 Ohms at 1kHz): 0.1%
-
THD (at 1 Watt into 8 Ohms at 1kHz): 0.08%
NOTES
-
R11 and R13 changed to 62 Ohm so the current through Q6, Rx, Ry, Q7 is about 10mA.
