Un ampli à transistors bipolaire fonctionnant en classe AB. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est un ampli de configuration standard à trois étages. Ce concept fut développé en 1956 par Mr. Lin chez RCA. Cette "topologie" est connu sous le nom de "Lin three- stage topology". Aujourd'hui encore, c'est le standard dans la construction des amplificateurs de puissance à transistors. Il paraît qu'environ 95% des amplificateurs construits, le sont de cette façon...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au cours des prochaines semaines, je devrais remettre le projet en route pour le terminer aussitôt que les projets en cours seront finis... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merci à ma blonde de me laisser jouer dans mes bébelles :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/CaTe-amp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/CaTe-amp.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/cate-amp2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/cate-amp2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21064866-113876232865167590?l=jcayer2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/feeds/113876232865167590/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21064866&amp;postID=113876232865167590' title='9 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113876232865167590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113876232865167590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/2006/01/un-projet-terminer.html' title='Un projet à terminer...'/><author><name>JCayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09462004174711513306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21064866.post-113876113117003720</id><published>2006-01-31T21:30:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-31T21:32:11.183-05:00</updated><title type='text'>My bench</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/mybench.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/mybench.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my mess, bench I mean...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21064866-113876113117003720?l=jcayer2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/feeds/113876113117003720/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21064866&amp;postID=113876113117003720' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113876113117003720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113876113117003720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/2006/01/my-bench.html' title='My bench'/><author><name>JCayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09462004174711513306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21064866.post-113849026064302256</id><published>2006-01-28T18:03:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-28T18:17:45.900-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sopht Amp 1/8W</title><content type='html'>Today I finished building another amp.

La planÃ¨te &lt;strong&gt;Saturne&lt;/strong&gt; passe prÃ¨s d'un amas d'Ã©toiles. &lt;strong&gt;L'amas de la Ruche &lt;/strong&gt;ou &lt;strong&gt;M44&lt;/strong&gt; situÃ© dans la constellation du &lt;strong&gt;Cancer&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour trouver les Ã©toiles et les constellations qui suivent, Ã©loignez-vous des grands centres et vous n'avez qu'Ã  observer le ciel en direction du sud vers 21 heures Ã  une hauteur d'environ 50 - 60 degrÃ© et Ã  balayer le ciel. Servez-vous de la carte plus bas (imprimez-la).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour localiser la constellation du &lt;strong&gt;Cancer&lt;/strong&gt;,  On peut commencer par trouver la constellation d'&lt;strong&gt;Orion&lt;/strong&gt; qui ressemble un peu Ã  un sablier dans le ciel. Sur l'image qui suit elle est situÃ©e vers la droite. Ensuite, on peut se diriger vers la constellation des &lt;strong&gt;GÃ©meaux&lt;/strong&gt; juste Ã  gauche d'Orion. Ses deux Ã©toiles les plus brillantes &lt;strong&gt;Castor&lt;/strong&gt; et &lt;strong&gt;Pollux&lt;/strong&gt; en forme la tÃªte. Maintenant, en prolongeant la ligne Castor et Pollux vers le bas vous arriverez Ã  une "Ã©toile" brillante. Cette Ã©toile est en fait la planÃ¨te &lt;strong&gt;Saturne&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si vous avez des jumelles ou un tÃ©lescope, profitez-en, car tout prÃ¨s de Saturne vous y verrez l'amas d'Ã©toiles &lt;strong&gt;M44&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/ciel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/ciel.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/cancer-saturne.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/cancer-saturne.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/saturne-gros-plan.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/saturne-gros-plan.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21064866-113842659443871153?l=jcayer2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/feeds/113842659443871153/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21064866&amp;postID=113842659443871153' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113842659443871153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113842659443871153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/2006/01/une-rencontre-spaciale.html' title='Une rencontre spaciale ...'/><author><name>JCayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09462004174711513306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21064866.post-113815699792811137</id><published>2006-01-24T21:32:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-24T21:44:47.393-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Old amp refurbishing - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/lightshow.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/lightshow.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After taking some voltage and signal readings all over the amp just to make shure everything was OK, I decided that it was time to plug an axe to make this amp sing :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With some butterflies in the stomach, I plugged the amp to my speaker cabinet (2x10 Eminence Legend 1058) and fired up the amp.

Then I plugged the scope and fired up the amp. I injected a 200 mV p-p sine signal and crossed my fingers trying to monitoring the output.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT... NO OUTPUT SIGNAL :( &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT WAIT, the volume pot is at the minimum position. Turned the pot volume and VOILA :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/ampl-sign-inout.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/ampl-sign-inout.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still want to test everything a bit.

Much safer I think. And in the process I installed a line filter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After checking all the resistors, I'll have to change at least half of them. Some were way over spec. ie a 1K measured 1.5K and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are not much coupling caps in the circuit so I decided to replace them all. Plus the two 40 + 40 uF Filter caps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some other things to the list: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Check the tube sockets. The pinholes seems to be too opened. So I'll find a way to close them :) So the contact will be better with the tubes pins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Check the OT (output transformer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pics of the line filter and three prongs socket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/linefilter2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/linefilter2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/linefilter.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/linefilter.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21064866-113754700136233175?l=jcayer2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/feeds/113754700136233175/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21064866&amp;postID=113754700136233175' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113754700136233175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113754700136233175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/2006/01/old-amp-refurbishing-part-5.html' title='Old amp refurbishing Part 5'/><author><name>JCayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09462004174711513306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21064866.post-113746260623223038</id><published>2006-01-16T20:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-16T21:50:35.090-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Mon ampli P1 - part3</title><content type='html'>Une photo de l'ampli avec ma Godin Exit-22 et la Basse Peavey Fury 4 de ma blonde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/1600/godin%20bass%20ampp1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7811/2127/320/godin%20bass%20ampp1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si ce projet vous intÃ©resse, www.ax84.com .

Je me suis dit que tant qu'a faire un ampli, aussi bien en faire un bon. Alors aprÃ¨s quelques recherches mon choix s'est arrÃªtÃ© sur un modÃ¨le d'ampli Ã  lampe d'une puissance de 5 - 7 Watts !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai trouvÃ© ce site: www.ax84.com . En gros, c'est l'histoire d'un gars (Chris Hurley) qui en 1998 (je crois) voulait se construire un ampli. Il a donc lancÃ© l'idÃ©e sur un BBS et a pondu un circuit d'ampli Ã  lampe. De fil en aiguille, d'autres gens ont dÃ©cidÃ© de construire un ampli basÃ© sur le circuit de Chris. C'est ainsi qu'est nÃ© le modÃ¨le baptisÃ© P1. AprÃ¨s plusieurs tentatives et modification, d'autres modÃ¨les plus ou moins puissants sont nÃ©s de cette grande collaboration. (Vive le net)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bref, je voulais un ampli pour jouer Ã  la maison, et qui, si l'occasion se prÃ©sentait, ferait bonne figure (sonore) pour un jam de temps en temps...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21064866-113746120294023887?l=jcayer2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/feeds/113746120294023887/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21064866&amp;postID=113746120294023887' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113746120294023887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21064866/posts/default/113746120294023887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcayer2.blogspot.com/2006/01/mon-ampli-p1-part-1.html' title='Mon ampli P1 - part-1'/><author><name>JCayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09462004174711513306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21064866.post-113745658366650580</id><published>2006-01-16T19:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-16T19:19:18.653-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Old amp refurbishing part4</title><content type='html'>This is a schematics that I have found on the net.

Lets see the insides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The amp is composed of 5 tubes: 1x 5U4GB, 2x 12AX7 and 2x 6V6GT. The condition of the tubes is unknown and at least one of the 12AX7 seems to be craked. So I won't take any chances and change all of them.
