PI Audio BlunderBUSS
« on: April 11, 2016, 07:25:25 PM »
Asked Dave to work on a special version of the UberBUSS system for my planar line array project.  He has named it the BlunderBUSS and will have 24 AC outlets to drive all the amp channels for the speaker design. 

This should be interesting!  :D

Rich, you are FBBSC and I love that trait in my friends.  Over the years we have conspired and pushed each other to do not only more, but better.  It a pleasure to call you friend, crazy and my pal.  Too much fun!

This is how we all get better!

Let's rock this!!!   :beer:

Dave,
My dad always said dream big.  I think this qualifies! 

More fun being FBBSC than normal.

Might be time to turn on the wall of Laney's and Rock On!

Best,
Rich

If the speaker name gives you any idea, they are going to be called The Megaliths.   :D

I too am wondering what FBBSC means as well. All google could come up with was

FBBSC stands for Florida Black Business Support Corporation

Dave is working on the BlunderBUSS and waiting on some output plates to arrive.  Asked him to think about what to do for 20 - 2 meter power AC cords to go with the moded Gainclone style amps from the BlunderBUSS. 

Have 16 Class AB amp modules built and tested.  Now to see what to do for getting them all running at the same time once the Blunderbuss arrives.

Triode Pete sent an AC power cable to test with the amp modules and BlunderBUSS.  If that works out, time for 20 power cables. 

The test AC cable should be here next week to try.

  Hal why not a buss bar connected to a TWL 7+ to wall for each speaker [R&L] and then hard wire all amps to buss bar.
  A copper buss bar of course. Then a Blundrbuss would not be needed, just two Ubers and two Digibuss's. My 2 cents.

Charles,
I discussed it with Dave and the BlunderBUSS took shape.

Since I only need digital capability at the MS-3, the DigiBUSS and UberBUSS will be on that setup with the new one at the speakers for the amps.  They all have linear power supplies including the dspMusik.  If I need a few more outlets, will put the MicroBUSS on the UberBUSS as well.  Planned growth in case of adding new audio gear.

Dave wanted to beef up the unit for the 24 outlets.  It makes sense to me.

Will be adding my TT setup to the system, so the extra AC outlet capability at the other end of the room will be good.
