The A85 preampli fier is a high-performanc e, DC coupled design
with microproc essor control of in put select, t wo independent tape
loops, electronic volume control, tone bypass and electronic tone
control.
It features a discrete power supply and low-noise linear circuitry to
obtain very good distortion and noise performance, suitable for
high quality source material such as CD or DVD-A.
Input switching
Each of the inputs has a pair of diodes to the ±15V rails to prevent
static spikes from causing dama ge to the CMOS multip lexers. In
addition, there is a simple resistor-capacitor filter with a corner
frequency of approximately 340kHz to remove any unwanted high
frequency interference from the signal. This uses high-quality
polypropylene capacitors for best performance.
Z104 and Z105 are the main input select multiplexer s, which are
configured in a ‘virtual earth’ unity gain arrangement with Z115
and Z116. This arrangement is slightly lower distortion than the
‘normal’ one, at th e cost of a slightly higher noi se floor. It is an
inverting configuration, which is restored to correct polarity by the
inverting elect r onic volume cont rol which follows.
Z115B and Z116B are integrating servos, which take out any DC
from the input signal before the following stages. The servos are 2pole, with a passive 2

servo and improve s peed of response.
Z100 thru Z103 are the input selectors for th e 2 tape loops . These
are normal non-inverting selectors which are buffered before being
passed on to the phono sockets.
Z109A output is decoupled by R108 which is included in the
feedback path . Local h igh freq u ency feedb a ck occu rs aroun d C108
to allow the tape loop output to be very low impedance, whilst
being stable into a capacitive load such as may be presented by a
screened in terconnect cable. This is the same for all tape outputs.
Z106 is configured as a double pole changeover switch, used to
select the tone controls. The tone controls are bypassed when not
required so that the noise and distortion can be minimised.
Tone control circuit
The tone control circuit is a non-inverting one, using a gyrated
‘bell’ filter f o r the bass and a simple shelving filter for the treble.
Left channel description
The input is attenuated by 6 dB and biased to a voltage of +2.5V
DC by C111, R113, R112, R110, R111 and C110 . This is so the
signals fall within the 0 - 5VDC required by the digital
potentiometer Z108.
Z111B and its associated components form an active equivalent of
a series resonan t LCR circui t. This has a n impedance m inimum of
5.4k at around 80Hz with Q=0.7 The reason the bass is done as a
band-boost filter rather than a shelving filter is so that you can
boost the ‘real’ b as s wit hout c ausi n g lots of su b -aud i o lou dsp eak er

units.

The digital pots Z108D and Z108A control the bass and treble
respectively. Th is is done by moving the wiper conn ected to the
frequency-sensitive impedance between the non-inverting and
inverting terminals of Z112A, effectively changing the ratio of
feedback boost and feed-forward attenuation of the circuit at the
desired frequencies, thus providing a EQ gain control that is
symmetrical on a logarithmic scale, with the use of a linear pot.
Z112B provides the 6dB of gain necessary to bring the nominal
signal level back to unity. C116 and C117 remove the 2.5VDC
offset from th e output, to preven t clunks when th e tone controls
are activated.
Z108 is controlled by a simple 3-wire serial interface from the
microprocessor. Each of th e digit al lin es has it s own groun d return
to minimise electromagnetic interference. They are connected
together only at the GND pin of the IC.
Volume control
Z107 is a VSDVC electronic volume control IC. It works, in
conjunction with an external op-amp , by varyin g the feed-for ward
and feedback resi stors in an inverting gai n configuration. In th is
way, it can allow output signal swings of up to 22Vpp whilst
operating from a sin gle +5VDC power supply. Also, it allows th e
user the choice of external ci rcuitry to fine-tune the performan ce.
The gain is controlled from th e microprocessor via a 3 -wire serial
interface. The analogue supply rail is derived from the local +5V
via R185 and C156 // C157.
Z117 is the output op-amp. Its output s are decoupled via R186,
R187, C158 and C159 so that it has a low output impedance but
can drive cable capacitance without oscillation. R186 and R187
are included in the audio frequency feedback loop to reduce output
impedance when driving ‘difficult’ cables.
RLY100 is a mute relay which shunts the preamp output to
ground. This is to prevent thumps and squeals when the units is
powered up or down.
Power supply
The transformer winding is connected to SK300. The voltage is
rectified and smoothed by D300, D301, D306, D307 and C300,
C310. The un regulated voltage sh ould be around ±27VDC. F300
and F301 are secondary fuses, as the low power preamp winding
would not blow the primary fuses if short circuited.
The voltage regulators a re discrete compound emi tter followers. I
will describe the +15V supply as the negative is essentially an
exact mirror image.
Q300 and R300 act as a constant current source, supplying around
7mA into D310. C302 and C314 reduce ripple and broadband
noise on the zen er diode. Q3 05 and Q306 form a c omplementary
Darlington NPN transistor which is configured as an emitter
follower, produ cing the +15 VDC at its ou tput. C303 is to provi de
bulk charge stora ge an d t o reduce t he AC out put impedanc e of th e
power supply. D302 prevents reverse bias of the supply during
power down.
Z301 is a conventional LM317 type circuit to drop the +15V rail
down to +5V for the tone and volume control circuits.
Star point SP300 explicitly connects the differently named ground
nets together at one point, to mi nimise hum.
Amplifier & PSU Circuit Description
L882PB is the printed circuit board that provides the power supply
and output stage amplifiers for the A85 integrated and power
amplifiers.
Its function is to:
1. Drive the loudspeakers(!)
2. Provide an (always on) auxiliary 5VDC supply for the micro
controller and display interface
3. Receive logic signals from the micro controller to turn on
the main amp lifier supply rela y (mains) and connect either
pair of speaker output sockets
4. Send logic signals to the micro controller pertaining to the
state of the amplifiers (short circuit protection, DC offset
protection, t hermal protection)
5. Receive and demodulate RC5 remote style control codes via
the rear pan el jack and transmit them to the mi cro controller
6. Send a 12V trigger ou tput via the rea r pan el jack for con trol
of an auxiliary power amp when the unit is on
7. Receive a 12V trigger input from the rear jack (for use in the
power amp only version)
8. Drive a pair of headphones via attenuating resistor networks
The power amplifier is a symmetrical, class B, bipolar junction
transistor output, current-feedback design (of which more later)
with DC-coupled signal and feedback paths, featuring an active
integrating volta ge servo to control DC offs ets.
It features ‘instantaneous’ safe operating area protection in
addition to sending a signal to the micro to turn off the output
relays in the even t of user or thermal ove rload. Since it i s a DCcoupled desi gn, the unit senses DC at the output and triggers the
micro to turn of f the loudspeak er relays in the even t of excessive
levels (possibly due to a faulty source component or short circuit
output transistor).
The output s tage uses Sank en specia lised ‘audio a mplifier’ pow er
bipolar Darlington transistors which are optimised for use with this
type of topology. Consequently the unit has excellent measured
performance in terms of noise, slew rate, output impedance and
distortion (harmonic and intermodulated) and is essentially load
invariant (to a first order th e measu red p erforman ce i s ind epend ent
of the load impedance).
L882 Circuit Sheet 1
The audio input to the amplifier is connected to SK102 (which
connects to the output of the preamp PCB). This signal is passed
on via SK104A which forms the preamp out connection to the
outside world.
SK104B provides the power amp input connection, with switch
SW100 selecting between pre / power and integrated modes. The
unit is wired as a preamp / power amp combination with the switch
depressed, allowing the user to insert a processor or other function
(e.g. graph ic EQ) between th e output of th e preamp and th e input
of the power amp. With the switch in the ‘out’ position the power
amp input socket is ignored and the input to the power amp is
connected internally to the output of the preamp. PL100 and
PL101 are ‘handbag’ links fitted to the power amp only version to
connect both pairs of phono sockets in parallel for daisy chaining
(as there is no preamp output on a power amp).
Relays RLY100 and RLY101 switch the two pairs of loudspeaker
output sockets and are controlled by the micro lines describes
above. Transistors TR100 and TR101 operate in ‘constant current
sink’ mode which allow relay current to be approximately constant
although the main power supply rails will vary with mains input
and load conditions. The current is around 20mA per relay.
Star point SP100 is the ground ‘mecca’ for the entire amplifier
(comprising a ll three PCBs wit hin the unit ). All of the sepa rately
named grounds are joined explicitly at this point. Different named
grounds are used to ensure that no two ‘different’ grounds share
copper, which could compromise the noise, distortion or crosstalk
performance of the amplifier.
The loudspeaker output signals are passed to socket SK106 which
connects to SK107 and onto the headphone output via the
attenuation resistors R103 thru R106.

L882 Circuit Sheet 2
This sheet contains the power supplies, the rear panel jack socket
trigger circuits, the standby relay control and the ‘interface’
circuits between the output signals of the power amplifiers and the
inputs expected by the micro processor.
The mains input enters the unit at SK203, with capacitors C205
and C206 acting as conducted RF suppression. The earth
connection is passed on to the chassis (for safety reasons the
chassis metalwork remains connected to mains power earth at all
times). Switch SW200 is the voltage selector switch, allowing the
unit to be operated in 230V or 115V mains countries by switching
the dual-primary mains transformers between series and parallel
winding. Varistors VR200 and VR201 act to prevent over-voltage
surges from da maging the unit . If the user selec ts 115V opera tion
and then connec ts the unit to a 230V sup ply, the varist ors will go
to a low impedance and blow the primary fuses. Any very high
voltage line transients will also be suppressed, helping to eliminate
transformer isola tion breakdown.
Relay RLY200 switches the primary side of the mains transformer,
allowing the micro to control the on / off status of the amplifier. Its
contacts are snubbed by capacitors C207 and C208 (to eliminate
switching spark transients and prolong relay lifespan). The primary
windings of the toroidal mains transformer connect to SK204.
PCB mounted transformer TX200 is powered all the time that
mains is presen t on S K203 , i rres p ective of t h e on / off st at u s of the
amplifier. This is to ensure that the micro processor is always
operational and can thus control the mains switching for the main
amplifier. Secondary fuse F202 limits the current in the event of a
failure mode, as the short circuit primary current of TX200 would
be insufficient to blow the mains fuses.
Diodes D200 thru D203, C227 and IC201 provide the 5VDC
supply which powers the micro and display PCB and the relay
coils. C224 is to reduce diode noise being transmitted back
through the leakage capacitance of TX200.
The mains transformer secondary winding is connected to SK200.
This is a centre tapped winding, and is used with full bridge
rectifier BR200 to produce the main positive and negative supplies
for the power amp. C209 and C210 are the large reservoir
capacitors, with C211 and C212 acting as high frequency
decouplers. The main power supply rails and ground are accessible
on SK205 for future module expansion.
The circuitry around SK201A and IC200 is to receive and
demodulate remote control commands sent in via the rear panel
jack socket. This is for multi-room applications.
L200 and C200 form a parallel resonant circuit at approximately
37kHz. The output from this bandpass filter is passed into IC200A
where it is ‘chopped’ and fed to IC200B to provide the output
signal.
SK201B is a 13VDC signal trigger output which is active
whenever the am plifier is powered up. R218 an d DZ207 / C223
provide a reference voltage which is buffered by TR200. TR201
and R217 act as a current limit and prevent damage due to a short
circuit on the output of SK201B. The maximum current is
approximately 65mA.
TR203 and TR202 are a complementary Darlington pair which
turn on mains relay RLY200 when activated by a signal from the
microprocessor.
TR204 and its associat ed componen ts are to detec t whenever AC
mains is present at the IEC socket. This is to notify the
microprocessor i f the u ser ha s unplugged th e main s cord, so that it
can take the necessary action (muting all the outputs and switching
off the mains rela y). The reser voir ca pacit ors should last at leas t 4
mains cycles which gives t he microproc essor plent y of time for a
controlled shutdown.
TR204 forms a monostable circuit. Each cycle of AC turns on
TR204 via R211. TR204 then ‘shunts’ C229 ensuring that it is
kept at a low potential. If more than one mains cycle is missing,
then R219 charges up C229 sufficiently to trigger Schmitt inverter
IC202E thus pa ssing on a logic signal to the m icroprocessor. Th e
use of a Schmitt inverter for IC202 is to ensure that the micro
receives ‘clean’ logic levels - the hysteresis voltage (about 0.5V) is
sufficient to prevent circuit noise from producing a string of
‘ghost’ signals wh en analogue levels are near the threshold point.
TH200 is a positive tempco thermistor placed adjacent to the
heatsink on which the output transi stors are mounted. When th e
temperature of the thermistor exceeds 90 degrees Celsius the
thermistor goes to a high impedance and so the input to IC202F
goes low. This triggers a HIGH output to the micro indicating
thermal overload .
The VI protection signals from the left an d right channels pass into
IC202A and IC202B respectively, to be ‘cleaned up’ via the
Schmitt trigger. They are then NOR’d using TR205 which sends a
HIGH signal t o t h e mi c ro in th e even t of ei th er ch an n el su f feri n g a
short circuit or current overload. Exactly the same approach is
used for the DC fault lines using IC202C and IC202D.
L882 Circuit Sheet 3
This is the main audio power amplifier circuit. The amplifier is a
class B design, which uses SAP ‘audio’ transistors in a
symmetrical current feedback configuration. Input and feedback
paths are DC c oupled and there is an active integratin g servo to
remove DC offsets from the output.
The basic principle of operation is follows:
The input signal is amplified by a factor of 2 in IC300A. This
drives a 44 impedance to ground causing the supply pin currents
to change with the signal level. These changing supply pin currents
are then ‘reflected’ by a pair of complementary Wilson mirrors
and passed on to a series of buffer transistors before being
connected to the load . The ‘f eedba ck curr ent’ f lows back from the
output terminal via R331 and R332 and attempt s to provide the
current necessary to allow IC300A to swing its output without
drawing excessive current from its supply pins, thus making the
change in supp ly current very small i ndeed. This i s why the term
‘current feedback’ is used - it is the current flowing in the
feedback resis tors that sets the overa ll gain of the amplifier.
IC300B acts as an in vert in g int egra tor a nd it s purp ose i s to remove
DC from the loudspeaker output. Any positive DC offset will
cause the output of IC300B to go negative, thus increasing the
current in its n egative supply pin and pullin g the output voltage
back towards zero. R330 and C317 set the time constant of this
integrator (0.47 seconds) so that audio frequency components are
ignored and only DC and subsonic frequencies are removed.
The input to the amplifier is limited to ±5.4V via back-to-back
zener diodes D Z302 and DZ303. Th is is to prevent th e user from
grossly overdriving the input to the amplifier and possibly causing
damage. The diodes appear before series resistor R324 so that their
variable capacitance does not introduce high frequency harmonic
distortion.
R324, R327 and C316 ac t as an input filter - this is a first ord er
low pass filter with a corner frequency of around 340kHz to
prevent RF si gnals from being in jected into the fro nt end of the
amplifier . The corner frequency was c hosen such that the phase
shift introduced is less than 5 at 20kHz (considered by the AES
to be the minimum perceptible relative amount by the human ear).
The input impedance of the amplifier is 23kW at DC, falling to
around 14kW at 20kHz.
Operational amp lifier IC300A is actin g as a non-invertin g gain of
2, driving the input signal into a 44W impedance to ground via
R322 and R337. Its output voltage will be an accurate
amplificati on of its input voltage (i.e. the signal on pin 1 should
look identic al t o th at on pi n 3 bu t a t twice t he am pli tude). The op amp is used in a slightly unusual configuration here, in that its
power supply pins are used as a (current) output, and its output pin
is used as a (current) feedback.
Transistors TR311 and TR303 supply the ±15V rails to the opamp, and act as cascades to pass its supply pin currents through to
the current mirrors, which sit at a potenti al too high for the op -amp
to be connected directly.
TR300, TR301 and TR321 form a PNP Wilson current mirror,
which reflects the current sunk by the positive supply pin of
IC300. Likewise TR314, TR315 and TR320 form an NPN Wilson
current mirror, which reflects the current sourc ed by the negative
supply pin of IC300.
R315 thru R318 provide emitter degeneration of approximately
300mV for the current mirrors (as they pass about 3mA DC in
quiescent c onditions) , to ensur e accurate oper ation ind ependent of
the small variations between the transistors in the current mirrors.
They also ensure that the current passing down the next st age is
reasonably constant as the internal temperature of the amplifier
changes, swamp ing out small t hermal varia tions in th e V
mirror transistors.
R319 and R320 slightly decouple the rails to the current mirrors
from the main power rails of the amp lifier, to allow the bootstra p
circuit to operat e. The bootstrap consis ts of C302 and C306 with
metal film power resistors R352 and R353. The bootstrap is
provided to allow the power supply rails of the current mirrors to
go up and down slightly with the output signal into the
loudspeaker. This enables the driver stage to fully saturate the
output transis tors and thu s give th e greatest power outp ut and b est
thermal effici ency for any given power rail voltage. The voltage on
the ‘inside’ end of R319 and R320 will vary by about 12 volts
peak to peak at full output power, rising above the main power
rails during signal peaks.
C307 and C308 with R333 and R335 provi de the compensation
necessary to ensure stability when the loop is closed. They are
Miller capacitors which dramatically reduce the transimpedance
(i.e. current to voltage gain) of the current mirrors at high
frequencies. The present value of 47pF provides for a unity gain
open loop ban dwidth of around 75MHz, whilst en suring a closed
loop gain margin of around 6dB (note that gain margin in a current
feedback design is not dependent on system bandwidth to a first
order approximati on). R3 33 and R335 provid e a ‘zero’ in th e open
loop frequency response which is tailored to give the best time
domain performance (i.e. to make high frequency square waves
look square with minimal ringing or overshoot).
DZ304 and C311 provide a fixed 4.7V bias voltage to allow the
following st ages to opera te correc tly. C31 1 is ther e to ensure t hat

both halves of the following stage receive an equal AC signal
component at high frequency.
TR310 and TR307 are the ‘pre-driver’ transistors, which act to
buffer the outputs from the preceding stage and drive the
Darlington output power transistors. TR309 and R321 act as a
current limit, to ensure that the emitter current of TR310 does not
exceed 30mA in a fault condition. TR306 and R323 provide the
same function for TR307.
R338 and R339 are to lo osely cou ple t he out puts of t he pre-d river
stage to the inpu ts of the Da rlingt on power outpu t devices. This is
so that the inbuilt temperature sensing diodes of the output
transistors can accurately control the quiescent current of the
output stage as the junction temperature of the power devices
varies. C312 and C31 8 ensure tha t both halves of t he output sta ge
receive an equal AC signal component.
The output t ransistors are TR318 and TR 319. These are Sanken
SAP15N and SAP15P devices respectively. They are specially
designed for audio power amplifier use. In addition to high current

allowing for easy, fast-responding and reasonably accurate control
of quiescent current (one of the major headaches of class B
amplifier des ig n!)
RV300 is for fine trimming of the quiescent current. PL300
provides a convenient measuring point for this, which is shortcircuit protected in the even t of a slip with the multimeter probe!
All of the remaining circuitry to the right of TR318 and TR319 is
essentially for output stage protection...
Transistors TR312 and TR304, alon g with th e network of resist ors
and capacitors to which they are connected, provide instantaneous
overload protection of the output stage. This is a conventional
single slope VI protection scheme, which allows much greater
current to be delivered into a rated load than into a short circuit.
The values allow for 18A peak delivery (at clip) into a purely
resistive load, 7A peak (at clip) into a purely capacitive load and
around 4A peak in to a short circui t. R345, C303, R34 6 and C304
allow these values to be doubled for short transient bursts
(approximately 2.7 milliseconds) so that impulsive musical
transients can be delivered cleanly with minimal risk of damaging
the output transistors.
TR313, TR302 and th eir associated components send a signal to
the micropro cessor when the inst antaneous protect ion circuits are
having to work ‘hard’ to prevent amplifier overload. This instructs
the micro th at the user is sever ely abusing th e amplifier and will
switch off the loudspeaker relays to prevent possible permanent
damage. In reality, if you short circuit the outputs at any
appreciable volume level, this circuit will trigger and the
microprocessor will turn off the loudspeaker relays and send a
signal to the user.
R308, R314 and C320 form a low pass filter from which the DC
detection circuits can sense excessive DC at the loudspeaker
outputs. If there i s any positive DC present, then TR316 will turn
on, which turns on TR305 and thus activates the DC p rotection
line to the micro, turning off the loudspeaker relays.
If there is any negative DC present, then TR308 will turn on,
which turns on TR317 whi ch then tu rns on TR305 in turn, cau sing
the same effect.
R350 and C319 are the Zobel network which is provided to ensure
the amplifier ‘sees’ a constant and resistive load at very high
frequencies, to aid stability, although the amplifier will be stable

D303 and D304 are ‘flyback’ diodes to protect the output
transistors from reverse bias when the amplifier is heavily clipped
into an inductive load (such as a loudspeaker voice coil!)

L870 Phono Circuit Description
The Phono board is a simple single stage RIAA amplifier. It
consists of two channels of high gain amplification, and switching
between moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) settings.
PSU
The unit derives its ±15V regulated rails from the unit it is fitted
into with only local decoupling capacitors on board.
Interface
The unit connects to the host unit via a 8 way connector:
Amplifier
The left channel has designators beginning with 100, and the right
with 200. For the pu rposes of t his descri ption the left chann el will
be described, as the right channel the same in all respects.
The amplifier is a small signal class A voltage feedback amplifier
with switchable gain. The input consists of an actively loaded
differential pair of very low noise PNP tran sistors (TR106,107).
These transistors are very specific and should only be replaced
with identical parts with the E grade high gain. TR100 & TR101
form a current source for the pair, which sets the qui escent current
for the entire amplifier. The active load consists of TR110 &
TR111, which forms part of a differential current mirror with
TR112,113 & 114. This differential stage also has an active load
(TR102 & TR103) to keep gain to a maximu m .
Both of these d i ff eren ti a l st a ges a re des i gned t o h a ve a s mu ch gain
as possible to enable the single stage design. The RIAA response
is achieved in the feedback network:
C101,110,111, 112,119,120,&R115,112. C115 is used to correct
between MM & MC gains as the amplifier is non-inverting.
SW100 switches between MM & MC. Two poles of the switch
change between the different loading required for each type of
cartridge: R108 & C109 for MM, and added in parallel for MC
R104 & C108. The oth er two poles change the feed back resistor
value to alter the gain. MM: R105 and in parallel for MC R123.
The DC offset is c ontrolled by a non-i nverting servo b uilt around
IC100. The amount of servo current is different for each gain
setting via R111 (MM ) & R124(MC) so that the low frequency
high pass point remains the same for both settings. However the
high pass point for the circuit is set by C113. This gives a warp
filter, stops DC startup thumps from upsetting DC coupled
circuitry an d an approximation of the RIAA/ IEC curve (-2dB @
20Hz).
The output is class A buffered by a dual mirror follower
(TR104,105,108,109). The quiescent current is set up by D100
and R118,119.
Closed loop stability is achieved with C116,117, giving
symmetrical slewing capability.

Unit fails to respond to commands Check ribbon cable from display to main board
Check ribbon cable from display to preamp board
Unit gets very hot Check power stage IQ settings
Hints & Tips
!
To check software version press PHONO, TUNER, DVD buttons on the front panel
simultaneously.
!
On issue 2 phono boards only, fit Kapton insulation tape to the phono stage PCB (rear panel
end) to prevent track shorting to chassis.
!
Check all fuses are the correct rating.
!
Check DC offset alterations are fitted as per ECO 01_1101
!
To isolate a fault between the pre or power amp section press the PRE/PWR button on the
rear panel to separate the two sections.
!
Check R100 on amp/psu board is not shorting to the track underneath (through plated via).
