MP566 Tube microphone preamplifier / Re: No Mic Input And Saturation on DI
« on: February 25, 2021, 06:31:09 PM »
The No Mic issue may come from a damaged 2N7000 (Q1). This component is sensitive to static electricity and is better handled without your shoes on (body grounded).
You can check this by creating a short between the 2 extreme pins of this component. It should activate the mic relay.

I have a click between the Low and the Mid but nothing for the High
This is normal, the high gain is directly controlled by the switch, without a relay.

Do you have a gain variation between the mid and high gain?
Check the DC voltage on TP4. it should be close to 0.

The output is the floating secondary of a transformer.
So you can only do measurements differentially between the hot and cold.
The audio connection to the output of the pre must be done with a balanced cable.

You can start looking to where the noise appears in the signal path:
Scope on AC, high gain. Check TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4.

MP573 Microphone preamplifier / Re: Scratchy noises/failing after about 10 seconds
« on: February 22, 2021, 03:53:27 PM »
First check the unit in a lunchbox that has another module in. If the other module still works when the MP573 fails, then the issue is not in the lunchbox.

starts making scratchy noises once it gets up to temperature
This is often caused by a bad solder joint the gets worth when getting warm.
Try reflowing the joints around the power transistor.
Next, try to follow the signal when it fails.

Check again the VDC on TP2 after removing U1.
If the large offset is still there then the issue is in the DOA.
If not it is around U1a, R10...R16, C17.

Sur le module D, the servo U1 empire l'offset au lieu de le réduire.
Il y a donc un problème quelque part entre R11...R17, C13, C14, U1.
Vérifiez les soudures. Nettoyez le PCB des résidus de flux.

yellow-orange: 23,8
red-brown: 19,4
These values are not correct. Did you measure with the transformer unplugged?

Is this on both channels?

It is not possible to mount the transformer the other way round. It is only EDCOR who changed the aspect.

Les pin 5 et 8 de U1 ne sont pas connectées. Le voltmètre dit n'importe quoi.
Il est normal que en fonctionnement, les mesures varient dans le temps car le DOA chauffe faisant varier l'offset.
Il semble que le D ait un problème. Avez-vous essayé de permuter les OP07 ?
Est-ce que la LED fonctionne normalement ?

Sur le module D :
Vérifiez valeur et soudures de R16...R18, C13, C14, U1.
Vérifiez que les tensions d'alim arrivent bien sur U1 (pin4 et pin7 ).
Essayez de permuter les OP07.

CP4500 Stereo Bus Compressor / Re: True bypass?
« on: February 17, 2021, 12:06:42 PM »
Sorry, still not understanding.
What you should have if the unit is working properly:
IN button released: The signal goes through unaffected,
IN button depressed: The signal goes through compressed.

« on: February 17, 2021, 11:14:00 AM »
Do you mean no sound at all when off?
Or the compression continues when off?
On both channels?

Do you also have the short when the IN switch is off?

Send a strong sine signal (2VAC across cold and hot) to the input and check if you get 1.3VAC on TP1.
If not the issue is in the input stage. Check solder joints and components value of R1...R9, C1...C9, U1.
Check the supply voltages presence (- & + 15V) on pins 4 and 8 of U1.

1.: in the diy-kit, the Resitors R31,R39,..., R68 (eight in total, labled as '47k' in the component list) were in my case 10k Resistors.
This was an error on our part on some kits. You did well replacing them by the correct 47k (you should have told us so that we could replace them...).

The capacitor I soldered is labled '4n7j100'
This a 4.7 nF and it should go on C26.
C34 must be labeled 0,47.

L: 0,0
Check the connections to the output transformer on CN2.
Check the solder joints and also look for any short circuit between wires.
Also check the DC resistances of the output transformer.

On parle bien ici de valeurs de tensions continues avec l'entrée audio déconnectée ?
Reaites les mesures avec le gain au minimum.
Et comparez avec des mesures sans U1, c'est à dire sans le servo.

If I were to change tube - which model should I chose?
ECC81 or 12AT7.


Every tube is microphonic to some degree. The ECC81 is considered not very microphonic.
Regarding the hum, do you have access to an oscilloscope? It would let you find out where the hum comes from. Is it the tube, or U6, U5, U2?

EQP501 Passive Equalizer / Re: R14, R15 Started Smoking After Inserting SK25 DOA
« on: February 15, 2021, 09:42:14 AM »
  • make sure R1 is not touching the vertical PCB and the diode D5,
  • check you didn't flip the power transistors Q9-Q10,
  • check that the 4 solders on each vertical PCB are making good contact,
  • check you didn't reverse the LED (it must light up),
  • check you didn't swap D4 (Zener) with one of the 1N914.

MP512 Microphone preamplifier / Re: OPAMP doesn´t sit tight in socket
« on: February 15, 2021, 09:40:40 AM »

The tightening is usually enough to hold the DOA, but if you are unsure you can add a small piece of insulating material between the spacer and the top cover

Yes. These 2 resistors are inserted in the +&- supply rails of the DOA.
