Section 5: Building and Installing the Filament Board
We are now going to build the Filament Board for the Mono Block Kit.
The Filament Board takes the AC voltage from the Secondary of the Mains transformer and converts it to the correct DC
voltage that the Tubes require. We are using the LM1084 Voltage regulator, which is actually adjustable – by setting the
resistor values R1 & R2 we can set a particular voltage. Therefore the individual values of these and other components
vary depending on the particular configuration of amplifier that you are building - please refer to the parts list tables below
and identify your configuration before continuing.
