 Comments on the article

Readers are invited to a power amplifier for automotive audio equipment. During its development, the author tried to create a compact amplifier with good sound reproduction quality and high reliability when it is used in the specific conditions of a car interior.

The amplifier has the following main specifications:

  • rated output power at a load with a resistance of 4 ohms - 2x15 W;
  • range of reproducible sound frequencies - 20...20 000 Hz;
  • harmonic coefficient at rated output power - no more than 0,3%;
  • bass tone control range - from -19 to +17 dB at a frequency of 40 Hz and treble tone ±15 dB at a frequency of 16 kHz.

The amplifier is powered by 13,4 V car batteries.

The amplifier (Fig. 1) is assembled on four foreign-made microcircuits and one domestic one: DA1, DA2 work in the input signal level indicator, DA3 stabilizes their supply voltage; a timbre block is assembled on DA4, a power amplifier is assembled on DA5. The volume is controlled by resistor R6, LF tone - R9, HF tone - R8, stereo balance - R7.

The amplifier is made in the form of a functionally complete compact unit and contains a minimum number of mechanical parts. The bearing part of the entire structure is a heat sink with an area of ​​200 cm2, made of duralumin 2 mm thick. The printed circuit board is made of foil fiberglass with a thickness of 1,5 mm. Its dimensions are 130x90mm.

The location of the parts on the printed circuit board is illustrated by a photograph (Fig. 2).

The amplifier uses fixed resistors MLT-0,125 (R1 - R5, R14, R15) and MLT-0,25 (the rest); variables (R6 - R9) - SPZ-4aM, tuning - SPZ-38G (R10, R11). Oxide capacitors are imported analogues - K50-35, the rest - KM-5. Choke L1 - from any domestic car tape recorder.

Establishing UMZCH comes down to the selection of resistors R1 and R2, which ensure reliable operation of the input signal indicators.

When connecting loudspeaker heads to the amplifier, you should pay attention to their correct (common-mode) inclusion. In-phase inclusion corresponds to a higher total sound pressure at low sound frequencies.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The baby's cells stay in the mother's brain 28.12.2014

The bond between mother and child may be much deeper than hitherto thought. Researchers at the US National Institutes of Health have found that during pregnancy, immune cells can move across the placenta, which can divide and establish long-term cell lines, remaining immunologically active even decades after birth.

Scientists have found "male" cells containing Y chromosomes in the brain and blood of women after pregnancy. Experts examined the brains of deceased women who had sons for the presence of cells containing the Y chromosome, and found them in more than 60% of cases and in several areas of the brain.

What exactly the function of fetal cells in the mother's body remains unclear, but scientists believe that they can affect the immune system and promote tissue repair. Future research will help clarify this.
