The 6 Channel Field Coil Supply

Hi!

Some photos of a field coil power supply which has been finished recently.




It is meant to supply a pair of speakers with 3 field coil drivers per side.




All in one chassis.




Completely passive choke filtered supplies, independent for each driver.




Voltages can be adjusted in 5% steps with a common set of switches per section (bass, midrange and tweeter). Digital meters monitor voltage and current of each of the 6 independent supplies.





Adjustment is done by selection of different primary and secondary taps on the power transformers to avoid any regulation circuitry.




LCLC filtering of each of the 6 voltages, so 12 chokes in total.




The finished unit weighs over 50kg!




Best regards

Thomas

    1. The caps uses here are very different in capacitor values compared to the ASC i use so not really comparable in a meaningful way

  3. Hello. I'm need to thank you for such a wonderful website. What manufacturer makes the digital panel meters you are using for displaying the voltage and current? I'm constructing a power supply and would like to incorporate such meters.
