What are you guys doing to get around the low input impedance of the ASP modules? I think it’s around 7-8K ohms. My preamp’s output impedance is 200 ohms. That's not good, right?
How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
If you want to know what the hoopla is about Class D and want to put together a very nice sounding kit I have a starter recommendation for you.
Go to Parts Express and search for "ICEPower ASP"
Next, look online for Ghent Audio. They make many sets of cases.
You'll need a high power soldering iron, and screw skills.
Between those two, you can put together a very nice monoblock for around $500 a piece.
I highly recommend both. I have no financial interest in either.
You may need wiring kits, so make sure to order appropriately.

Thanks, george and erik. Let's say you wanted to build two mono amps with NC400 modules, but you wanted to put two NC400 modules in each mono chassis so one would drive the bass panel and the other would drive the midrange/tweeter. Is it possible to split the input at the mono amp so the signal goes to both NC400 modules? Are there any possible downsides in doing so? |
Check out this Nord amp. It is the exact same price in USD as the Hypex NC400 kit, but it comes with the NC500 module, an input buffer, a bigger power supply, and it's already assembled. https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-nc500dmst-3 If you buy the stereo version, it's actually cheaper than two Hypex mono kits. |
