INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
ASSEMBLY
AND
USE
OF
THE
DYNAKIT
STEREO
35
POWER AMPLIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The
Stereo
35
is
a
dual
power
amplifier
of
deceptively
simple
appearance
and
circuitry.
Behind
its
seemingly
conventional
design is
an
extremely
sophisticated
circuit
configuration
representing
the
most
recent
advances
in
power
amplifier
engineering
and
construction.
This
high
degree of technical refinement,
combined
with
the
conserva-
tive use of
premium-grade
components,
has
resulted
in a
typical
Dynakit
design offering
superb
performance
at
low
cost.
Each
of
the
two
channels
in the
Stereo
35
is
rated
as
a
17.5-watt amplifier.
Although
not
evident
from this
simple
rating,
the
power
stated
is
available
on
acontinuous basis
at
any
frequency
from 20 to 20,000 cycles
per
second. A
"music
power"
rating
would
make
the
Stereo
35
a45-watt
amplifier,
although
even
this
rating
would
not
disclose
that
full power is
available
at
low
distortion
throughout
the
audio
spectrum,
Nor
would
such
a
rating
indicate
that
the
Stereo
35,
even
when
driven
to power
output
levels
beyond
its rating, is
able
to
handle
these
overloads
gracefully,
with
minimum
detriment
to
the
sound. As aresult,
the
Stereo
35 can, if
necessary,
duplicate
the
sound
intensity
of
amplifiers
with
much
higher
power
ratings
when
called
upon
to
do
so,
The
heart
of
the
Stereo
35 is
the
special
Dynaco
2-565
output
transformer,
a
patented
design
tailored
specifically
to
this
circuit.
The
transformer
is
free of resonances,
has
extended
frequency response
(from
6to over 60.000
cycles),
and
is
wound
by
special
techniques
on a
carefully
designed
core to
insure
low
distortion
over awide fre-
quency
spectrum.
Transformers
of
this
caliber
have
never
previously
been
used
in
low-cost
equipment
of
moderate
power
rating.
The
transformer
provides
an
optimum
match
between
the
loudspeaker
load
and
the
output
tubes used.
These
tubes
are
supplied
as a
matched
group
with
the
kit,
and
are
used
in
a
circuit
configuration
which gives low
inherent
dis-
tortion
and
high
stability
of
their
d.c.
operating
point.
The
output
stage
is
preceded
by a
composite
voltage
amplifier
and
cathodyne
phase
inverter
(a
7247
tube
with
direct
coupling
between
sections).
The
phase
inverter
used
is unique; its
operation
is
independent
of the
age
or
con-
dition
of
the
tube.
The
phase
inverter
stage
is
therefore
able
to
maintain
its
capabilities
permanently
with
no
need
for
adjustment
or
balancing.
Gain
in this
part
of
the
ampli-
fier is
augmented
by afeedback
connection
from
cathode
to
cathode.
Two
negative
feedback loops,
one
mostly
resistive
and
the
other
purely
capacitive,
are
carried
over
the
amplifier
to
provide
20
db
of
negative
feedback.
This
provides
low
distortion
and
noise. a
high
damping
factor.
and
further
benefits.
The
feedback loop
is
unconditionally
stable
under
all load
arrangements,
so
that
the
Stereo
35 is
suitable
for use with
any
loudspeaker,
including
electrostatic
types.
The
values
of
components
selected
for the
Stereo
35 have
been
carefullv
determined
to be
certain
that
the
operating
conditions
f~r
each
stage'
have
been
set
at
the
center
of
the
optimum
range.
The
use of close
tolerance
parts
provides
additional
assurance
that
these
settings
will
not
shift
and
will
remain
accurate
so
that
every
amplifier will
meet
its specifications.
This
is
very
important
to the kit
builder,
as
it
gives
immunity
from
the
variations
to which
much
electronic
equipment
is
subject.
Heavy-duty
circuit
boards
give
additional
stability
and
reproducibility
of
characteristics.
assuring
alevel of
performance
which
takes
full
advantage
of
the
capabilities
of
the
dl:'sign.
The
con-
servatively
rated
power
transformer.
after
testing,
is
com-
pletely
sealed
in aspecial
encapsulating
material
which
prevents
core
vibration
and
also serves to
dissipate
heat
effectively.
One
of
the
outstanding
aspects
of the design of
the
Stereo
35 is
the
attention
which
has
been
paid
to
the
repro-
duction
of
transient
signals.
Specifications
commonly
quoted
for
amplifiers
refer
only
to
performance
with
pure
sine-
waves
as
the
signal
content;
however.
music
and
spl:'ech
are
actually
composed
of
non-repetitive
sounds
which
are
non-sinusoidal
in
character.
It
is this
irregular,
or
transient
type
of waveform which
the
amplifier will
usually
be
called
upon
to
reproduce.
Pulse
tests
and
square
wave
measure-
ments
help to
evaluate
the
transient
performance
of cir-
cuits,
and
these
have
been
applied
to derive
the
corr('ct
operating
parameters
for
the
Stereo
35.
The
success of this
approach
is
particularly
evident
in
listening
tests
where
the
source
material
includes
percussive
sounds-drums,
tam-
bourines,
piano,
cymbals,
etc.
The
Stereo
35
reproduces
these
sounds
with
a
transparency
and
absence
of
blurring
which
is
only
obtained
·when
an
amplifier
has
extended
frequency
response,
without
bounce, Rutter
or
overshoot.
In
addition,
the
Stereo
35 recovers
almost
immediatply
from
overload,
so
that
the
tones
immediately
following
are
not
affected
by
the
overload
signals.
Thus,
even
with
low-efficiency
speaker
systems,
where
an
occasional
peak
signal
might
overload
the
amplifier,
reproduction
of every-
thing
except
the
highest
peak
of
the
heaviest
passage
is
effortlessly
reproduced.
It
is
this
characteristic
subtlety
of design
approach
which
distinguishes
the
Stereo
35 from
other
equipment
with
superficially
similar
specifications.
These
differences
provide
a
perceptible
improvement
in
clarity
and
natural-
ness of
sound;
this was
the
design
objective of the Stel'f'o
35,
and
it
has
been
achieved
in a
unit
of
remarkably
low
cost.

WRONG
One
of
the
best
ways
to
make
agood mC'chanical
connection
is to
bend
a
small
hook
in
the
end
of
the
wire.
and
then
to
crimp
this
hook
onto
the
terminal
to
be
connect('d.

however,
if
it
is too long,
there
is dane:cr
of
the
eXCf>SS
touching
another
terminal
or
the
chassis.
There
is
no
need
to
wrap
the
wire
around
the

as
this
makes
a
connection

has
been
made.
GENERAL
WIRING
PRACTICE
Assembly
of
the
Stereo
35 is
exceptionally
simple
when
compared
to
that
of
other
kits.
The
circuit
boards
are
sup-
plied
with
all
components
mounted,
and
the
remaining
parts
arranged
on
the
chassis
in
an
open,
uncluttered
way
that
makes
wiring
quick
and
easy.
The
construction
of
the
StNeo
35
should
take
no
more
than
afew
hours.
When
you
unpack
the
kit,
check
the
components
against
the
parts
list
first.
You
can
identify
unfamiliar
components
by
matching
them
to
parts
illustrated
in
the
pictorial
diagrams
supplied,
Hav(~

You

these
are
avaibble
for less
than

The
only
procedure
involved
in
building
a
Dynakit
which
requir('s
a
bit
of
technique
is
soldering.
and
this
is
quite
easy
to
master.
There
are
four
steps
to
making
agood
solder
cOlUlection:
1.
Make
a
good
mechanical
connection.
2.
Heat
both
parts
of
the
connection
with
the
iron.
3.
Apply
solder
to
the
connection
until
it
melts
and
runs.
4.
Allow
the
connection
to
cool
undisturbed.
ALL
SOLDERING
MUST
BE
DONE
WITH
ROSIN
CORE
SOLDER.
There
is
no
warranty
on
any
equipment
in
which
acid
core
solder
has
been
used.
Make
sure
that
the
solder
you
use
is
plainly
marked
"Rosin
Core".
If
you
have
solder
on
hand
of
doubtful
origin,
it is wise to
obtain
a
new
roll of
50/50
or
60/40
rosin
core
solder.
Whenever
a
connection
is to be
soldered,
the
instructions
indicate
this
by
the
symbol
(S).
If
this
symbol
is
not
shown
after
a
step,
further
connections
must
be
made
to
the
same
point
before
soldering.
A
number
of
steps
in
the
instructions
begin,
"Connect
one
end
of
a
wire
......
with
the
length
of
the
wire
specified.
In
each
case,
first
cut
a
piece
of
wire
to
the
correct
length
from
the
roll
supplied
with
the
kit.
and
then
remove
about
l/~"
of
insulation
from
each
end
before
making
the
connec-
tion.
The
leads

should
be
trimmed
as
they
are
used,
the

chosen
being
that

follow
that
shown
in
the
pictorial
diagram
as
closely
as
possible.
Care
must
be
exercised
to
see
that

It
is
especially
helpful
to
have
someone
other
than
the
builder
do
the
checking.
If
the
tubes
do
/lot
light
at
all
(on
both
channels),
it is
likely
that
a.c.
power
is
not
being
delivered
to
the
amplifier.
In
all
likelihood,
the
fuse
will
have
blown,
indicating
the
possibility
of
a
short-circuit
in
eithN
the
fil.1ment
or
high
voltage
supply
lines.
If
tlw r<,sistlnce Iwtwf'cn
ehasgis
ground
ilnd
the
quad
filter
capacitor
lugs is less
than
100,000
ohms,
this
indicates
a
probable
short-circuit
in
the
high-voltage
supply,
If
the
tube,~
of

channel
h;;ht,
but
those' of t.he
other
do
not,
the
filament
IC:1ds
from
the
power
transformer
to
one
of
the
circuit
boards
are
probably
not
properly
con-
neet.ed,
or
these
may
be
defective
in
the
power
transformer.
If
(Ill

light
but
one,
the
tuhl'
in qUl'stion
should
b<~
interchanged
with
one
of
the
same
type
from
another
socket
on
eitber
board.
This
should
show
whethc'r
the
tube
or
its
associated
circuitry
is
at
falI1t; if
the
tuhe
still fails to
light,
it
is
faulty.
II'
it
lights
in

position.
and
the
tube
inSNted
in
its
place
is
now
dJrk,
a
close
examination
of
the
tube
socket
wiring
will
usually
reveal the'
source
of
the
difficulty.
Should
an
output
tuLt' {6B(1.'i)
ever
require
replacement,
it
is
preferable,
but
not
cssl'ntial,
that
thl'
pair
be
rep1.1ce'd.
If
all
of
the
tubes
light,
hut
Uwrc
is
no
sound
from th('
loudspeakers
when
the
systr~m
is in
operation,
it
is first
necessary
to <'liminate
other
c:omponL~nts
in tlw

as
possible
causes
of
the
trouble.
InsL'ding
or
removing
th<'
inpu
t
plugs
at
the
input
sockets
of
the
Stereo
.35,
while
it
is
on
should
produce
a
loud
momentary
hum
or
"thump",
If
the
loudspeakers
are
properly
connected,
and
no
noise
is
produced
by
inserting
or
removing
the
input
plugs,
the
high
voltage
supply
is
probably
not
connected.
Check
the
wiring
around
the
quad
filter
capacitor.
If
one
channel
plays,
and
the
other
does
not,
check
the
signal
path
in
the
defective
channel,
as
well
as
the
high

supply.
An-
other
possibility
is
that
strands
of
wire
from
the
output
transformer

going
to
the

are
accidentally
shorting,

that
