    Modding HPF filter
    by madan1
    Hi everyone.
    Recently scored a dead amp from a mackie srm1801 subwoofer and after fixing it, now I'm thinking about a home cinema/party subwoofer project.
    Most likely I will use a 15" JBL woofer, which I already have and a diy box.

    After reading the mackie user manual, I noticed that it has a 40hz HPF (labeled as "36Hz BUTTERWORTH HPF" in the SM) to protect the speaker from low frequencies. Indeed this seems to be good idea for the intended usage - professional music subwoofer, but bad for movies, where one would expect to "feel" the SUBwoofer....

    Old KSC Digmoda DDC552 Bang and Olufson ICE amp My mission to repair.
    by abajor
    I'm about to take a journey into repairing this 3 Channel ICE amp. It's got a bunch of fun components I am not familiar with like Direct Stream Digital chips. It also has some onboard Digital Signal Processor which I haven't identified yet.

    I am not familiar with ICE amp circuits other than they are a type of PWM amplifier so I'm assuming they require a ton of high frequency filtering on the output. I'm also assuming that the output of the DSD chips probably directly feed the ICE amp signal since DSD is also essentially PWM or creating an averaged AC signal using high frequency ~2MHz...

    Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
    by Agent24
    I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
    It has at least one problem.

    The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
    I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

    Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
    All are CapXon...

    Input Filter Filling: How to Choose Components?
    by cheese007
    Recently acquired one of those silly Logisys acrylic power supplies and lucked into getting one of the "better" ones (most of an input filter, bridge rectifier instead of 4 diode treatment, OK-sized heatsinks, etc.) and wanted to fill out what I can on the board + get some decent caps on there (especially the primary side since I highly doubt the ones in there are actually 1000uf). My questions are:

    1. How do I know what components to install re: the input filter? It seem to be missing an X cap, a resistor, and a Y cap.
    2. Where can I find a good heatsink for the bridge...

    How long were the displays on consumer-grade 1980s-era LED clocks designed to last?
    by ClockChip
    Does anyone know? A recent thread has got me wondering if the folks who designed and built consumer-grade LED clocks in the 1980s ever envisioned them still being used in the 2020s or if they were designed to give out (i.e. planned obsolescence) long before then?

    Perhaps a better way to phrase this would be: does anyone here still use a 1980s-era clock as a daily timepiece? If so, do you expect to get many more years out of it?

    (Along those same lines, if it does eventually develop a fault, are you likely to try to fix it?)
