The Cymbal monoblock power amplifier is a unique and modern push-pull design using ultra-linear 6H30 triodes in a zero-feedback circuit. The uncommon circuit is optimized for sonics rather than raw power. Perfect for efficient drivers and horns, its eight watts of output power are extremely well-controlled by virtue of an astoundingly low 1. 6 ohm

output impedance (8 ohm tap). Overdrive into clipping is soft with a clean recovery. The input stage is fully differential and has a ground-lift switch to eliminate pesky ground loops. The monoblocks are built in mirror image pairs. A second input offers capacitive coupling and can be designed to a set high-pass frequency to match systems requiring a subwoofer. Plenty of high quality iron is used in this design, including a fully choke-regulated B+ supply. The Cymbal is not an "el-cheapo" amplifier, rather a fully tricked out and substantial product. The half-kit DIY version will cost you approximately $550 in raw parts each. Is the Cymbal right for you Yes, if you have efficient speakers with a reasonable impedance curve. If an SET works for you, then a Cymbal will be perfect. An example of an easy speaker to drive is the BK-16 from Madisound. Or the remarkable Horns at The Horn Shoppe. "The Cymbal sounded quick and agile. It had good bass extension and control with the JBLs. The highs were extended and fairly smooth. Midrange coloration was minimal. I would place this amplifier in the resolution-over-romanticism category, although it sounded quite smooth and pleasing - somewhat reminiscent of a good SE amplifier in the same power range. It is a neutral, truthful, balanced sounding amplifier that will allow the user to listen relatively deeply into the music with appropriate loudspeakers. The Cymbal`s low overall...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
