SB-2 - Power Scaling™ Kit £33 plus £3.50 UK delivery

 

SB-2 - Super Budget Power Scaling™ Kit for Cathode-Bias Amps

The SB-2 provides an easy installation for cathode bias amplifiers. Supply voltages up to 540Vdc are accommodated, and amplifier power up to 120Wrms. A "drive compensation" pot is included. The printed circuit board can be broken into two pieces to accommodate the space available. A 28mm mil-spec PS pot is provided as it is a requirement of the circuit design.

Proper heat sinking is required. In small amps, such as the Valve Junior, the chassis will suffice as the heat sink. In amps over 20W, it is best to add an aluminum heat sink.  In some cases a fan may be needed.

The installer of this mod should be able to recognize the relevant circuit points without a layout or schematic for the subject amp.

PCB dimensions: 2.2 x 0.8", 56 x 20mm - can be split into two parts each 1.1 x 0.8", 28 x 20mm.

Please note that this kit includes general installation instructions and not instructions for specific amplifiers.

If you are not confident that you have the skill or knowledge to install this kit we offer a fitting service - please contact us for a quotation.

  • After purchase we will contact you to determine what type of drive compensation pot you require.

 

 
 
 
 

"Power Scaling
not only works, it works really well.

Both amps instantly
sounded smoother and more
dynamic at any volume level.
Remarkably this was
maintained from full power to
zero output.
