SPHINX Project Twelve Service Manual 4. THE POWER AMP AT A GLANCE Front panel 1. LED: Indicates the selected function: stand-by green protection blinking red. 2. STANDBY: To switch the component on and off.
MAINS: To connect the power amp to a mains CONTROL IN: To connect the optical cable outlet (230 - 240 VAC). from another Sphinx component like a pre-amp. CONTROL OUT: To connect the optical cable OUTPUT: To connect the cable from the that goes to another Sphinx component.
This unit conforms to the EMC interference regulations issued by the EU and to the CE standards. This unit complies with safety regulation VDE 0860 and therefore with international safety regulation IEC 65. Technical specifications may be changed by SPHINX without prior notice if technical developments make this necessary.
The protection mode can only be deactivated by switching the amplifier off with the Mains Switch (6.) If you use more than one Project Twelve connect and leave it off for at least 30 seconds. hem all to the same mains outlet and phase.
PROTECTION CIRCUIT procedure but in reverse order. 1. Reposition the jumper from JP1 & JP2 to JP2 & To adjust the internal controls of the Project Twelve JP3. the protection circuit board may be removed. If not, the protection circuit will not be able to This ensures that all adjustment points on the main disconnect the amplifier’s output.
Service Manual 8. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES Bias The Project Twelve has three adjustable settings: With this procedure you set the proper bias level for the power FETs. This ensures their Class A 1. Bias: to set the bias current of the power-FETs operation at low power levels.
SPHINX Project Twelve Service Manual Offset Common mode The Offset adjustment procedure minimises the DC The Common mode adjustment procedure offset value of the amplifier output. This DC offset is minimises the amplification error of the (internal) important when capacitive loads are used, such as differential amplifier.
