Unless you're a PHD in amplifier design, have a full understanding of the workings of the NC400, and have a fortune to throw at this linear supply, several times more than the amp itself, you're wasting your time, IMO.
Yes, and the nc400 will have no problem driving them. Maximum power might be current-limited, but as long as you don't drive them full out (your lower supply voltage would limit the power anyway), it won't be an issue. 24 A is a heck of a lot of current...You do seem to like broad, sweeping statements.
a wayne Why don't you post in this http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=108203.0 thread and see if you can borrow a pair to try?
NC400 best with supplied Psu ....
Not really , they are absolute statements made from absolutely doing this for 40 yrs, the best ones all do low -z and drive anything , this is easily proven if you want to see and as you have pointed out the NC400 does low-z with of course some current limiting ...
Your first , my flame suit is still at the cleaners .....
Some wiring clarification, please... This is for an un-switched (always on when connected to AC) application.Near as I can tell from the various posts, when connecting the J9 harness, both J9 Pin 3 nAMPON and Pin 4 Ground should connect to chassis. I had planned to run Pin 4 gound wire to a lug captured under the screw of the grounded PS chassis leg. Should I also connect the nAMPON there? This would mean XLR Pin 1 is not connected to anything. This seems odd, but what I know of electrical design would fit in a thimble.
Pin 3 nAMPON is not shown, but also goes to chassis, yes?
One more question... In my always-on config, can I safely hot swap XLRs, or must the amp be disconnected from AC first? I can and have safely done this with other balanced amps.
