Discussions about the products / Helpful material Kits/BOM to buy

« on: May 05, 2021, 03:36:02 PM »

Hi,

Before all thanks Jean-Pierre for the amazing work on the kits and on the support that you give to all of us.

I've decided to create this topic so everyone can add here some useful kits/BOM for resistors/capacitor/.. that may help us to replace some that we might damage while building or to have just some spare parts.

Thanks for all your inputs in advance,

Best regards,
Sérgio

CP5176 FET compressor / Resistor R57 burned on setup guide ..

« on: May 05, 2021, 12:12:02 AM »

I was setting up the CP5176 following everything from the guide and on step 6. after turning on the compressor I've heard a click and then the R57 just burned ..

I've checked and the R57 was the right one.

Can this be a bad Resistor or  it's something worse?

Best regards,

EQP501 Passive Equalizer / Signal gain increase when engaged

« on: April 26, 2021, 05:09:27 PM »

Hi, 

I've built a EQP501 and I think that almost everything is working normal except for the gain level that increases a lot when the EQP501 is not on bypass mode. 

When on bypass mode it is the same volume/gain that I'm sending out. When it is engaged it gains some db, cant precise how much right now, but latter I'll let you know.


Is this the normal behaviour? What can I do to test/check for problems. 
I've already checked and reheat all the solders.

XT500 Lunchbox connector extender / How to solder the EDAC connector to PCB?

« on: April 24, 2021, 12:55:43 AM »

Hi,

I’m Sérgio and I’m currently building some equipment from soundskulptor which I think it’s an awesome way to build gear and also learn a thing or two on how they work.

Well I’m a complete new to electronics so, for me this extender is the one thing that I don’t understand how to solder the EDAC to the PCB. The EDAC has 2 x 15 pins and they don’t fill in the gaps of the PCB which are 3 x 15. How should I solder them?

Best regards,
Sérgio
