About the subminiature 6N16B |
|
|
There were some messages concerning this double triode some days ago. I
found it is similar to the Philips 6021, and an example of a tube preamp
made with such a tube can be found at: http://www.audiodesignguide.com/se/.
I'm considering making a very small phono preamp with it, something that can
fit in a solid-state-like box without giving out as much heat as an open
oven.
(my last project, a SE 6S33S, dissipates some 300W to produce 12+12WRMS into
8 ohms and being 30x40 cm the top plate reaches some 70°C... good for
roasting marshmallows during Northern Italy foggy winters, but it needs to
be "de-commissioned" from May till October).
Ciao

BTW Nice one, in the Philips data sheets:

With an anode voltage of 100V, the RMS voltage is less
than 35mv with a 40Hz and 15g(!) acceleration...
I wouldn't be too concerned to use them tubes in a preamp,
unless you intend to use them in a Walkman while jogging....8o)
And look at them shock resistance specs, 4 hammer blows of 500g !

Yeah :-)
so, we could 'glue' 'm to a large woofer, use the
signal from the submini for a motional feedback system , hehe

The ECC40 is far better suited for that task ;-)

Did you read: Tracy Kidder: The Soul of a Machine ?
'bout the early days in sil'valley, the 100+ hour weeks

Been there, done that mr. Brunze.
Back, when, I was fixxing radar's in the snow, I was laying the
foundation for the cake, look over, there!
Prove it in a double blind test, mr. sockpuupett Ruddy, or whatever
you're name is today!
LOL! ;-)

Re: About the subminiature 6N16B |

I haven't checked out the 6N16B yet, but I used a 6021 and was pleased
with the results.
I had built a small desktop 1 tube/channel SE amp for use with a
computer at work. I was disappointed to learn that the computer audio output
was much less than the 1 volt I had planned on.
I didn't have much room to work with and I found the 6021 included with
a feature on sub-miniature tubes in Vacuum Tube Valley. I obtained a
few from Antique Electronic Supply to work with.
I mounted it on
half of a small Radio Shack bread board including the grid, plate, and
cathode resistors. I put a hole in the top corner of the chassis and
was just able to fit it in.
Not only did it fit, but the 6021 was a nice, clean sounding triode.
Here's how I configured it:
Grid resistor = 100K
Cathode resistor = 125
Cathode bypass = 100mf
Plate resistor = 17.5K
Plate supply = 250v
This gives a current of about 8ma, grid voltage of 2v, plate voltage
of 110v, and a plate dissapation of about 0.86w. The amplification is
about 25x and the output impedence is about 4.7K.
For a little tube, it gets pretty hot even though it's only dissapating
1.7 watts.
It sounds good and I like the small package. I'll be using it again. |

Great :-)
yep, one of the advantages of these (sub)mini's: low output imp.,
meaning
you can easily drive an eq. network, use the output with a divider for a
good cable drive signal, etc. :)

Here's an update to my own post. The grid voltage is really zero, of
course. The cathode resistor sets the cathode voltage at about 1v, so
the effective grid voltage is -1 in reference to the cathode.
I didn't want to mislead anybody who might use this model for their own
project. |
