From the project

Power Amplifier based on Michael Chua's C300 amplifier

This is a PCB layout by Daniel Marks based on Michael Chua's C300 amplifier which can be found at:

This is a project designed to be a good quality amplifier that is achieves good quality distortion (< 0.1% THD at 10 kHz and 300 W per channel max), and is both educational (to study for electronics engineering and hobbyist use) and archival (to be useful long into the future, or "future proofed"). This is a layout from 2020 but it is assumed that decades into the future, relatively few bipolar transistor models will be available as through-hole and discrete component electronics become ever…

PowerCond: common questions

How big is the PowerCond PCB?

The PowerCond measures 208.3 × 48.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the PowerCond?

62 components, from 10 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the PowerCond design files?

From the profdc9/PowerAmpAudio repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the PowerCond design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with profdc9. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
