KC5450 SPEAKER PROTECTOR KIT MK3 (alternative heading) Refer: Silicon Chip Magazine July 2007 The primary function of this versatile project is to protect your expensive speakers against damage in the event of catastrophic amplifier failure such as a shorted output transistor. In addition, the circuit also banishes those annoying thumps that occur when many amplifiers are switched on or off, especially when the volume is set to a high level. The design also incorporates an optional over temperature heat-sensor that will disconnect the speakers if the output stage gets too hot. Configurable for supply voltages between 22VDC-70VDC. Supplied with a silk screened PCB, 24VDC relay and all electronic components.
