Title: Which Edcor output transformers for my build? Post by 13stoploss on 10/03/16 at 22:33:23 I just placed my order for two ZKIT1 amp boards. I have also placed my order for all the parts from Mouser and Parts Express. I have saved my cart at Edcor but not purchased because I'm not certain which output transformers I need. The Decware link to the Edcor output transformer is broken. It leads to an error page at Edcor. I searched for GXSE10 and found a number of different transformers. I am enough of an amateur that I don't know what to select. I plan to build two monoblock amps to use for high frequency, Heil AMT in a BI-AMP setup. Stats for the Heil AMT are 4ohm, 92db, 800hz-20,000khz. Do I want the GXSE10-8k (8ohm input), and if so, should I select 4ohm output? Or do I want a GXSE10-25k (2.5ohm input) at 4ohm output? Or something else? I suppose I'm confused if I should be shooting for 4ohm input or output? Sorry for the newb questions, but I'm hoping to learn a lot with this build! 8-) |

Title: Re: Which Edcor output transformers for my build? Post by 13stoploss on 10/04/16 at 01:30:25 Aesthetically speaking, that's exactly what I hope mine will look like, although I bought the board. I'll be using an old pair of Pioneer single-driver, full-range speaker boxes. They're lightweight, made of walnut, and measure about 9.25 x 11.5 x 4. I looked at your thread prior to posting. The info sheet says 10-6-8, but Edcor doesn't have one on its website. I looked around some more and learned the difference between input and output (speakers). So, yes, I do want something that has an output of 4ohm for my 4ohm speakers? They do have a 10-5k with a 4ohm output. Since I'm an instructions follower, I don't really know if this will work. I don't know what the numbers mean. I don't know if the board design has a leeway for this kind of adjustment. Anyone? |
Title: Re: Which Edcor output transformers for my build? Post by Core32 on 10/04/16 at 02:58:27 If you go to the GSXE10-8K page you can then select the 6 ohm output. When I ordered I don't think the web page was set up that way. If I recall correctly the 6 ohm being between 8 and 4 allows it to work well with either and you then you are not limited. I am using an output circuit design just like the Decware Zen with these transformers and fully expect you will be happy with the performance. |

He told me to get the 6k (secondary). So I bought the 6k from Edcor on October 12. Today is November 4th, and I have not yet received a shipping notification from Edcor. |
