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.

Polished Everyday Crossbody, Though Priced Like a Designer-Branded Bag
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This crossbody bag has a clean, classic look that works well for everyday use, errands, travel, or casual outfits where you want something more polished than a basic purse. The north-south shape gives it a slim profile, so it does not feel overly bulky, but it still has enough room for daily essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, small cosmetics, cards, and other small items. The zipper closure is a practical feature because it keeps everything more secure than an open-top bag, especially when walking around, shopping, or traveling. The front and back zippered pockets are also useful for items you want quick access to, like a phone, receipt, lip balm, or transit card. I like that the layout keeps the bag organized without making it feel complicated. The material is mostly PVC with some polyester and polyurethane, so it has more of a coated designer-bag feel rather than soft genuine leather. That makes it easier to wipe clean and more resistant to everyday marks, but buyers should know they are paying more for the brand/style than for leather construction. The bag feels structured and presentable, but it may not have the same long-term aging or softness as a real leather crossbody. For comfort, the crossbody style is convenient because it keeps your hands free and distributes weight better than carrying a small handbag by hand. It is best for people who want a stylish everyday bag, not someone looking for a large tote or something that can carry bulky items. For pricing, similar branded crossbody bags usually range from about $80–$200, depending on the brand, size, material, and whether it is leather or coated canvas/PVC. At around $180, this is on the premium side for a PVC-blend crossbody, but it is fairly typical for the Michael Kors price range. Overall, it feels worth considering if you like the style and brand name, but value-focused buyers may want to compare sale prices or color options before paying full price.

Designer quality and design
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This is the second Michael Kors bag in my collection, and I’m pleased with both of them. These are quality items that are timeless and complement pretty much everything that i own. At first, i thought that this was a travel bag in the sense that you would put toiletries in it, but it’s intended to be a smaller crossbody bag that you can travel with. It’s meant to hold essential items and look quite stylish while doing so. I chose this color since my luggage set and toiletry bags are all cream and brown. Classic, chic, elegant and sophisticated without screaming that this is a designer bag. This comes packaged beautifully and carefully so that it’s protected. The strap is adjustable on both sides. The bag lives up to Michael Kors quality and is worth every penny. I need a matching wallet or wristlet NOW. Highly recommended if you appreciate designer products that have a higher price point but will last for years and always be in style.

Beautiful Crossbody!
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
In my opinion, this is the perfect crossbody. First, it is very stylish- Michael Kors Signature design & lovely leather trim. I have been searching for a crossbody and this fits all my needs. Zipper pocket is perfect for my cell phone, inside has plenty of room and is a few inches wide at the bottom- not flat. The shoulder strap is wider at the shoulder for comfort- such a nice feature. Great bag!!!
