Hello,
I am expecting my J5 kit this week, and have read twice through the manual already.
I am not completely a beginner, I have already done a mic preamp almost 10 years ago.
However one thing that confuses me a bit is checking voltages. I understand sometimes you have to do it between + and - on a part, and sometimes with the ground?
I'm not lazy but I'm not sure what to read or look for to understand these:
"a) At the rectifier (+) 358V
b) Output of the power supply board => C17 (+) 358V
c) Heater voltage (red against white wire) 7,4V"
"Now these voltages (+/- 5%) are to be measured at the taps of the power
transformer:
a) Primary
Pins 2-6 230V
b) Secondary
Pins 8-9 265V
Pins 11-12 24V
Pins 13-14 7,4V"
Now, I'm sure I'll have more questions when I actually start building the kit, but that is all for now.
Thank you to who will take the time to answer this (probably very basic) question.
