Operational Amplifier, Types of Op Amp ICs and Characters

Various types and advantages of each offered by each component manufacturer to captivate the hearts of audio lovers. This is often done by audio hobbyists. Fiddling with and experimenting mutually components to get the best sound possible.

In the market, there are many choices of components, from the cheap to very expensive. The endpoint is a personal taste that determines the choice. Unfortunately, more and more standard components have decreased in quality. Instead of improving but getting worse. Finding quality components is difficult and expensive.

Prioritize replacing active components that directly process audio signals such as ICs and transistors. Because the upgrade effect is likely to sound more real. After that, it is just a passive component that does not directly process signals such as power supply, tin, resistor, condensator, transformer, and others. The effect on sound repairs is very small or even the difference is not heard directly.

Do not let you get stuck to replace passive components with prices that are so expensive while the main IC that processes electronic signals is ignored. Don't also get caught up in suggestions. The easiest upgrade is to replace the IC op-amp in the preamp. Because just pull the IC from the socket and install a new IC. Sometimes it needs to be accompanied by changing a few components such as a resistor to adjust a new IC with an existing system.

Not all op-amps have super specifications such as very high slew rates, very wide bandwidth, very low noise, very low THD, and others sound good. For the record, only 2-3V / µs slew rate is needed for the op-amp so that it can cover all sound frequencies.

It's just that because the sound power is mainly music that is different, it takes at least 3 times the standard.

After all, replacing the standard op-amps like 741, 4558 and LM324 with the better ones, even the "super" ones, actually made a messy sound. Because this type of op-amp requires a special power supply and can be very unstable. For example, a good standard op-amp like NE5532 requires a decoupled supply (usually ceramic or mica) of no more than 2 inches (a super op-amp is a closer). Unlike 4558 which can run quite smoothly without decoupled. So if you want to replace the IC, you should first look at the PCB design, don't just replace it. Here are some IC op-amps quoted from several sources.

LM833 (dual) = Flat with a pretty good musical dynamics.

4558D (dual) = good but boomy bass, vocals hoarse, treble blunt.

NE5532 (dual) = Flat with good vocals on the ears and clear treble. Details are very good, but for some people, the bass feels less.

TL072 (dual) = Quite noisy, but with good dynamics.

LF353 (dual) = A lot of sound at the middle frequency, but quite natural and detailed. Treble and bass feel soft.

CA3140 (single) = Special amps with MOSFET input. Vocal and treble sounds are pretty good in the ears. Unfortunately, the dual version (CA3240) is only produced for the industrial and military circles.

LM324 (quad) = Noise is quite audible. Poor detail and blunt treble.

OPA2134 (dual) = the favorite op-amp for audiophiles with excellent staging and depth of music, but with less detail and musical dynamics.

AD823 (dual) = Very detailed and very natural, great dynamics, with very clear bass and treble.

1600W Power Amplifier Class-G PCB Layout

The following is a PCB layout for a G-class power amplifier, previously here is a little explanation about class G power amplifiers, namely Class G classified as an analog amplifier which aims to improve the efficiency of B / AB class amplifiers. In class B / AB, the supply voltage is only one pair which is often denoted as + VCC and –VEE for example + 12V and –12V (or written with +/- 12volt). In class G amplifier, the supply voltage is made multilevel. Especially for applications that require high voltage power, so that the supply voltage is efficient, there are 2 or 3 different pairs. For example, there is a supply voltage of +/- 70 volts, +/- 50 volts and +/- 20 volts. The concept of class G Power Amplifier circuit as shown in figure 1-30. For example, for soft and low sound strings, the active pair is a supply voltage of +/- 20 volts. Then if needed to drive loud sound, the supply voltage can be switched to a maximum supply voltage of +/- 70 volts.

And here is a PCB Layout power amplifier 1600W Class-G Amp, you can also create or print this PCB yourself by downloading the Layout file in the form of a PDF file. End of posting.

This Class G power amplifier can be supplied voltage up to 120VDC Symmetrical and at least 42VDC symmetrical. This power amplifier can produce power up to 1600W RMS on an 8 Ohm Load with a good and maximum power supply voltage to control this amplifier. In addition to the final transistor, it is also very influential, you can use the original Toshiba 2SC5200 / 2SA1943 or NJW0302 / NJW0281G transistors in order to get quality and maximum results.
