Description

Modulus-286The Modulus 286 is a 125 W, Class AB, LM3886 based power amplifier with error correction provided by an LM4562 precision opamp. It delivers clear, precise, and fatigue free sound; and distortion below 1 ppm even at full power. This third revision of the Modulus 286 features improved performance, in part due to the further optimized PCB layout. Modulus 286 Rev. 3. 0 is slightly smaller than its predecessor, but shares the same mounting hole locations,

The Modulus-286 is a 125 W, Class-AB, LM3886-based power amplifier with error correction provided by an LM4562 precision opamp. It delivers clear, precise, and fatigue-free sound; and distortion below 1 ppm even at full power. This third revision of the Modulus-286 features improved performance, in part due to the further optimized PCB layout.

Modulus-286 Rev. 3.0 is slightly smaller than its predecessor, but shares the same mounting hole locations, allowing for a direct replacement.

The wiring harness necessary for connecting to the Modulus-286 is included.

Technical Documentation

  • Description
  • Key Specifications
  • Circuit Topology
  • Key Features

    • Fully assembled module made in Canada from parts sourced from authorized distributors in Canada and the USA.
    • World class performance ensured by an error correction circuit with local, low-noise power supply regulators.
    • Power supply agnostic by design. High performance is attained with unregulated power supplies and with switch mode supplies.
    • Differential (balanced) input which eliminates hum and ground loop issues. Can be used with single-ended (unbalanced) sources as well.
    • On-board EMI/RFI input filter and ESD protection.
    • Four-layer PCB optimized for high signal integrity. All ground management is handled on the PCB.

    Build difficulty (1-5): 1 (easy).

    The build video below shows you how to build a Modulus-286 stereo amplifier. Please watch the video to gauge the skills needed.

  • The graph below shows the THD+N vs output power for the Modulus-286 Rev. 3.0 for 8 Ω and 4 Ω load. The sharp jumps in the graph are caused by range switching of the APx555 used for the measurement.

  • The block diagram of the Modulus-286 Rev. 3.0 is shown below.

    The Modulus-286 Rev. 3.0 uses an LM4562 to form a balanced composite amplifier with two LM3886 in parallel. An LM4562 is used for the differential input. 

    The differential input can be used both with differential signal sources (XLR) and with single-ended ones (RCA).

    The Modulus-286 is power supply agnostic by design. This is unique to the Neurochrome Modulus amplifiers. Due to the error correcting composite amplifier topology, the Modulus-286 performs as well on a traditional unregulated linear power supply or a switch mode power supply (SMPS) as it does on a well-regulated laboratory power supply.

    The PCB layout is crucial at the performance levels attained by the Modulus-286. The four-layer PCB employs differential signal routing and carefully designed copper pours and planes to ensure optimal circuit board performance.

Perfect fit and Style
Color: Black, Size: Large
LOVE THESE TANKS. The material is stretchy, durable and not see through, it’s a longer fit so it doesn’t stop at the waist and has a small curve cut at the waist area. Perfect for layering as the neck is high and also makes for good coverage for those who are bustier like myself. I ordered A large AND ordered four different colors as they are a great price.

Good basic tanktop
Color: White, Size: Small
The material feels really nice and soft to the touch. It’s great as a basic tank top for everyday wear, especially during hot weather. 🌤️ The fit is flattering and shapes the body well without feeling too tight. Simple, comfortable, and easy to match with anything!

Very flattering
Color: Royal Blue, Size: Small
I ordered four of these tops, two white, a beautiful royal blue, and the great green one . There are so many things to like about this top but they didn’t work for my needs. The fabric is a nice weight, it is form fitting but not clingy, soft and comfortable, I was looking for tops that would not expose my bra straps. The style is cut in at the shoulder which will show your straps. If that’s not an issue for you then you will love this top. Can be worn by itself, under a suit jacket or blouse. The colors are bright and flattering, perfect for spring and summer.

Nice Fit - Casual or Dressy Casual
Color: Black, Size: Large
The tank top is comfortable, true to size and form fitting with great length (tank runs about 3 inches past my waist). I like the look and fit so much I bought the same tank in several different colors. The tank looks great with my wide leg jeans and below the knee bubble skirt. The tank is versatile and can be worn for leisure or dressy casual creating a polished look, i.e. wear with a blazer or smart casual skirt. I watch for a discounted price as some colors may be offered at a lower price.

These are great tank tops!
Color: Grey, Size: Medium
I have several different colors of this top. The material is very soft. They fit true to size and can be worn either casual or dressed up.
