SP-012 Principle and Servicing
1. SP-012 working principle
Signals are inputted to input board through SC1. The left channel signal arrives at pin 3 of socket
XS1 through R13, and then at power amplifier board through flat cable XP1 and then divides into two
paths after arriving at power amplifier board: one path arrives at potentiometer S2 through R2 for bass
adjustment (S2 is duplex potentiometer and can adjust left and right channels at the same time); the
other path arrives at potentiometer S1 through C21 for tweeter adjustment (S1 is duplex potentiometer
and can adjust left and right channels at the same time); after bass and tweeter adjustment, the two
paths combines into one path through balance resistor R3, R5 and send to potentiometer S3 for volume
adjustment (S3 is duplex potentiometer and can adjust left and right channels). After volume adjustment,
signals are sent to pin 2 of U1LA4508 after R12 damping and C1 coupling for power amplifying (LA4508
a dual-channel power IC with fixed amplifying ratio), and outputted through pin 4 after amplifying; output
signals are sent to speaker directly after DC filtering. Signal flow direction of right channel is the same
as that of left channel/.
