general description

GENERAL

The EICO Model HF-81 is a complete high fidelity stereo­phonic control center and a pair of 14watt amplifiers, allon one chassis. With it you can select preamplify, andcontrol accurately any stereophonic source (tape, discs, orbroadcasts) and feed it through the self-contained dual 14watt amplifiers to a stereo pair of speaker systems. Whenyou playa monophonic source, the 14 watts available perchanneIadds up to a total of 28 watts for your two speakersystems. If you desire, both amplifiers can be connectedin parallel and driven byone preampIifier-control sectionwhile the other preampl ifier-control section is free to drivean external power amplifier. In this way your old ampli­fier can be put to use in a stereophonic system. Construc­tion is of the "low silhouette" type that permits you todispense with cabinetry if desired.

FEATURES

1. Separate low level input in each channel for mag.phono, tape head, and microphone. Circuitry carefullydesigned to provide the high gain required by tape headsand high quality, lowoutput mag. cartridges without humand noise problems. A front panel switch permits choiceof the proper NARTB tape head equalization for either7 1/2 & 15 or 3 3/4ips tape speeds.

2. Separate high level inputs for AM, FM, and FMMultiplex. Also two auxiliary A inputs (one in each

mechanical installation

GENERAL

a) HEAT DISSIPATION(VENTILATION): In common withother electronic equipment, the HF-81 produces consider­able heat in normal operation. Unless continuous and ade­quate air flow isobtained around the heat producing ele­ments, these elements will over-heat and their useful lifewill be greatly curtailed.

It is useful to understand the process of convection where­by heat is removed in judging the suitability of a location.Air heated by the heat-producing elements expands andrises; cool air is drawn from beneath to take the place ofthe heated air. In this manner, a stream of air is set inmotion which continually removes heat from the ampli­fier. (In particular, we are mainly concerned with themajor heat-producing elements; the four EL84 output tubesand the two EZ81 rectifier tubes.) If there is any impedi­ment to or constriction of the airflow, the essential processof heat removal will be adversely affected.

Adequate ventilation will be provided if the amplifier isinstalled in an open-back console provided that the topof the amplifier is spaced at least two inches below anyshelf mounted above it. If the cabinet is enclosed at therear, provide several large holes or slots as low down andas high up in the cabinet back as possible. As an alter­nate, holes may be provided in the sides, bottom, or topof the cabinet. The important thing to remember is that

~ff~~ti~e ve~tiiation requires provis~n for cooi air to en­ter at the bottom and hot air to leave at the top.

]f the amplifier is not installed in a console, it may besituated on an open surface or on a shelf of a bookccse,Four rubber feet are also provided so that the amplifier willnot mar the surface of furniture on which it is placed.

b) EASY ACCESS TO CONTROLS: Mount the amplifierat a height which will permit easy manipulation of the con­trols. Tuner controls should be located nearby.

c) ACCESSIBILITY TO PARTS:. Tubes are the most fre­quently replaced items in electronic equipment. If theamplifier is installed in a console, sufficient space shouldbe alloted to reach and remove any tube in the amplifier.Furthermore, input and output terminals of the amplifiershould be accessible to permit easy interchanging of sys­tem components for comparison, and connection or dis­connection of a portable tape recorder which is stored a­way when not in use. If antennas are strung around theback of the console in which the amplifier is installed,arrange them so they will not interfere with access to theamplifier.

d) ACOUSTICAL ISOLATION: If amplifier and speakerare installed in the same cabinet (not recommended), pro­vide sufficient separation to minimize mechanical speakervibration reaching the amplifier. The minimum separationis about one foot.

CONSOLE MOUNTING

a) 0 erations on console front anel reI iminar to am Ii­fier mounting: 1 Tape the panel template provided tothe face of the console so that the top of the mounting sur­face line on the template is level with the top of theamplifier mounting shelf. Note: When shelf is not avail­able, tape the template at any convenient spot on the faceof the console. (2) Use an awl or a nai I to pierce thecenters of the four extreme outer holes for mounting thecontrol plate)' to transfer their locations to the consolepanel beneath. (3) Trace out the rectangular cutout withan awl or nail and then pierce the centers of the four 1/2"holes)' one in each corner of the cutout. (4) Remove thepanel template. (5) Drill the four 1/2" holes in the con­sole panel, one in each corner of the rectangular cutoutarea. Cut out the rectangular piece with a keyhole saw)'using the four 1/2" holes as starting holes.

b) Am Iifier mounting in console: (1) Pull off the controlknobs. 2 Remove the four screws that fasten the bezelto the side pieces and remove the bezel. {3} Remove thetwo screws and nuts that fasten the control plate to thebezel. The bezel is not used in console mounting. ~)

Fasten the control plate to the console panel with the two#4x3/8 wood screws supplied. (5) If the rubber feet havebeen inserted irwhe bottom plate)' remove them. (They maybe pried out with a thin screwdriver.) (6) Place the unit _on the mounting shelf and slide it forward until the slide

_ • __. ~ _1 t I I

switch support bracket is up against the panel and theslide switch accessible from the front; the control shaftsshould be approximately centered in the correspondingholes in the control plate. (7) With a sharp pencil, drawthe outl ine of the side and rear bottom edges on the chassisshelf. As the bottom plate falls short of the full width by3/16" on each side)' draw new side edge lines 3/16" in­side the original side edge lines. (8) Now remove theknobs and take the chassis off the shelf. (9) Remove the6screws which fasten the bottom plate to the chassis. (10)Place the bottom plate exactly in the outl ine drawn on theshelf and mark the position of the center hole on the leftside and the center hole on the right side. (11) Removethe bottom plate and drill each of the marked holes on theshelf to a diameter of 1/4". (12) Refasten the bottomplate to the chassis, with the four of the six#8x3/8screwspreviously removed, using the two holes at the rear and thetwo holes at the front of the chassis. (13) Replace thechassis on the she lf, positioning it exactly in the outlinepreviously drawn, and restore the knobs. This time makesure that the indicator dot on each knob agrees with thecontrol position. (14) From the bottom side of the shelf,insert a #8 x I" screw, with a 1/2" flat washer againstthe head, through both the left and right side center holes.These screws engage the stamped nut over each hole onthe chassis flange and when tightened secure the chassisto the shelf.

c) INPUTS: There are identical pairs of MAG. PHONO,TAPE HEAD, MICROPHONE, AUXILIARY A, and AUX­ILIARY Binputs -one of each pair in channell and chan­nel 2 - and each is identified accordingly by the suffix1 or 2. The MAG. PHONO, TAPE HEAD, and MICRO­PHONE pairs of inputs are all "low level" inputs, mean­ing that they all feed through a preamplifier/equalizerstage in either channel 1 or 2. The AUXILIARY A andAUXILIARY Bpairsofinputs are "high level" inputs, mean­ing that they enter either channel 1 or 2 at a point afterthe preampl ifier/equalizer stages. The AM, FM and FM­FM Multiplex inputs are also "high level inputs", whichnr", intArnnllv ~"'IA...,t",rl in nnir~ - nn", fnr ",n...,h ...,hnnn"'lare Interne y se ectea In pal rs - one for each channe- by the INPUT SEL. switch. At the MONAURAL posi­tion of the FUNCTION SEL., AM only is selected at theAM-FMposition of the INPUT SEL., and FMonlyis select­ed at the FM- FM MULTI. position of the INPUT SEL.

l) MAG. PHONO 1, MAG. PHONO 2: These inputsare intended for the two outputs ofa stereo magnetic car­tridge, or for a stereo ceramic cartridge with adaptors.The correct method for wiring a three terminal cartridgeis shown in Fig. 3. If the cartridge is a four terminaltype, short the two inside terminals of the cartridge to­gether and treat it exactly as if it were the single centerterminal shown in Fig. 3. The loading presented to eachoutput of the cartridge by each MAG. PHONO input is100,000 ohms. If a lower loading resistance is requiredby the particular cartridge used, connect a shunt resistorof appropriate value from each outside terminal of the car­tridge to the center (common) terminal. This can be doneactually by mounting a 3-post terminal strip on the under­side of the phonograph mounting board at a point near thelead break-out from the pickup arm. These shunt resistorsare then wired to this terminal strip as shown in Fig. 3.The value of each of the two shunt resistors (Rs) can bedetermined fromthe desired loading resistance (RI) by thisformula Rs = 100,000 x RI ohms

100,000 - RIor th is tabl e; for RI = 50KQ, use Rs = 1OOKQ; for RI :: 33KQ,use Rs = 50KQ; for RI = 25KQ, use Rs = 33KQ.

* NOTE: All ceramic cartridge manufacturers have devel­oped simple networks which when connected the outputsof their cartridges result in a characteristic identical tothat of magnetic cartridges. By interposing the recom­mended adaptor for the particular ceramic cartridge be­tween the cartridge outputs and the MAG. PHONO in­puts of the amplifier, it is possible to use the MAG. PHONOinputs for the ceramic cartridge with excellent results.Adaptor networks are given in the literature for the par­ticular ceramic cartridge and can be built on a terminalstrip mounted on the underside of the phonograph base, ormay be available in convenient component form from thecartridge manufacturer. Stereol;lhonic crystal cartridgesccrrrrcge mcnurccrurer, orereopnoruc crysTal carrnages

(Ronette "Binofluid" OV and BF40) can be connected di­rectly to auxiliary high level inputs.

2} TAPE HEAD 1, TAPE HEAD 2: These inputs are in­tended for direct connection to the two outputs of a stereotape playback head. A front panel slide switch permitschoice of NARTB tape head equalization either for71/2(& 15) ips or3 3/4 ips tape speeds. The loading resistancepresented by each tape head input is 100,000 ohms.

3} MICROPHONE 1, MICROPHONE 2: These inputs areintended for rec~~:ving the output signals directly fromtwo separate microphones. It is preferable that the micro­phones used be of the high impedance type.

4) AUXILIARY A1, AUXILIARY A2: These inputs areintended for either a stereophonic or monophonic highlevel source. A stereophonic high level source might bea stereo tape deck with built-in playback equal izationfor both tracks. A monophonic high level source mightbe a monophonic crystal cartridge or tv sound. Plug amonophonic source intoAUXJLlARY A1, leaving theAUX­ILIARY A2 input unused. Note that the input impedanceat all these high level inputs is 0.5 megohm, which is toolow for ceramic cartridges requiring 2 to 3 megohms in­put impedance. For ceramic cartridges, use the MAG.PHONO inputs with the simple adaptor networks recom­mended by the manufacturers. For stereophonic crystalcartridges (Ronette "Binofluid" OVturnover and BF40 sin­gle needle), the 0.5 megohm load provided at the highlevel inputs is exactly the loading impedance required.

PRELIMINARY: Be sure all tubes are firmly seated in theirsockets and that the tube shields are making good contactwith their baSes. As initial adJustments, set these controlsas follows: LEVEL at 0, FOCUS at Or both BASS controlsat O. Tum the amplifier on by turning the TREBLE 2 con­trol clockwise from AC OFF and set it at zero initially.Also set the TREBLE 1 control at zero. Please note thatin the instructions that follow, it is assumed that a stereopick-up and/or a stereo tape head is being employed inthe system.

LISTEN IN G TO PHONOGRAPH: Set the IN PUT SELEC­TOR to PHONO if you have a megnetic cartridge or aceramic cartridge with adaptors interposed between thecartridge outputs and the MAG. PHONO 1and 2 inputs.(The RIAA equalization provided at the PHONOpositionis now the international standard in the recording industryfor both monophonic and stereophonic records and is alsoa very good compromise for the most important of the oldermonophonic recording characteristics.) Set the INPUTSELECTOR to AUX Aor AUX B if you are using a stereo­phoni c crystal cartridge (Ronette) connected to eitherAUXA or AUX B inputs. Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR ateither STEREO position. To balance levels between thechennels; playa conventional monophonic (lateral) re­cording on the changer or turntable and turn the LEVELcontrol up until you have normal listening level. Note_. - _. • -- r _I •• _ ., II."

that the action of the FOCUS control (sometimes called a"balance" control) is to simultaneously raise the level inone channel while lowering the level in the other as it isturned in anyone direction. At the zero setting of theFOCUS control, equal sound volumes would obtain on bothchannels only if the ideal conditions of identically effi­cient loudspeakers and identical overall gains in bothchannels existed. With the conventional monophonic re­cording being played, adJust the FOCUS control for equalvolume from each speaker system. With the FOCUS set­ting properly made, any stereo recording played back willhave close to the same balance as actually exists in therecording. The FOCUS control setting can be a semi-per­manent adJustment in that, at any given time, the settingachieved as described above will usually be satisfactoryfor tape stereo, and may also be for broadcast stereo, ifit means existof adJusting for equal output levels from thestereo broadcast rece iving equ ipment. Ascomponents age,a shift of the normal FOCUS control setting may be nec­essary. Note that there are a concentricpairofbass con­trols, one in each channel and a concentric pair of treblecontrols, one in each channel. Use the separate bass andtreble controls to compensate for any audible deviationof the recording from the standard recording characteristic,as well as to compensate for the over-all characteristicsof your audio system (including room acoustics). Set theFUNCTION SELECTOR to STEREO NORMAL or STEREOREVERSE for stereophonic records and to MONOPHONICPHON 0 for CONVENTIONAL MON OPHON IC records.

MAKING RECORDINGS: Tape recordings may be madeby connecting the recorder to the TAPE OUTPUT Jacks.See "TAPE OUTPUT 1, TAPE OUTPUT 2" under ELEC­TRICAL INSTALLATION. Please note that recordingscannot be made on tape decks unless those decks areequipped with the electronics required for recording.

FUNCTION SELECTOR: The STEREO NORMAL and STER­EO REVERSE positions are both used for stereophonic re­production. At the STEREO REVERSE position, the chan­nel 1 and channel 2 amplifiers from the tone controls tothe speaker connections are interchanged. These twopositions permit interchanging the signals fed to the twospeakers so that the correct left to right display of theorchestra can be achieved on all recordings or broadcasts.The CHECK AMPL. 1 and CHECK AMPL. 2 positions per­mit hearing either channel 1 alone or channel 2 alone forcomparison or balancing purposes during stereophoni c use.The MONOPHONIC TUNERr AUX position is used formonophonic FM, AM, tv sound, monophonic phono cart­ridge monophoni c pre-ampl ified tape etc., fed into chan­nell inputs. At this posltlon, the channel 2 inputs whichare unused in this type of operetlon, are disconnectedfrom t-he active channel so that they cannot contributeinterference. At the MONOPHONIC PHONO position,the channel 1and 2 corresponding inputs are mixed, whichis useful when playing monophonic records with a stereo­phonic cartridge to cancel vertical rumble components.

GENERAL

Your amplifiershou Id require I ittle service except for nor-mal tube replacement. We recommend no substitutions forthe tube types used in this amplifier except as stated. Allthe tube types used are distributed national Iy, but replace-ments can be obtained directly from EICO if desired.

To facil itateservicing, remedial and trouble-shooting pro-cedures have been provided in the TROUBLE-SHOOTINGCHART that follows. A VOLTAGE AND RESISTANCECHART is also provided as an aid in locating defectivecomponents. DC operating voltages are given both at nosignal and signal developing 14 watts output, as well asthe corresponding 1 kc signal voltages.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING PROCEDURES

Connect the leads from the stereo cartridge and from thetwo speakers to the amplifier. These connections are madeas described in the section "Electrical Connections " . Setthe Input Selector control at PHONOand the Function Se-lector at STEREO. Playa known high quality stereo record-ing on the phonograph. If there is no output to the speakerof if the output is low or audibly distorted, procede to thechecks for those symptoms. If there is excessive hum in

. the output, disconnect the phono input cable from theampl ifier and short the phono input jack to chassis. If thehum disappears, the trouble is not in the amplif.er but inthe phonograph or in the connection to the amplifier. each case, check for the trouble in the amplifier whichseems defective. If both amplifiers are defective, checkthe power supply.

The cause of phonograph hum may be a metal pick-up armnot grounded to the cable shield (try a good single groundconnection to the cable shield from turntable frame, pick-up arm, and cartridge case), direct hum pick-up by themagnetic cartridge from the record player motor(tryusinga rubber mat on the turntable to increase the separation ofthe pick-up from the motor), or pick-up from a power

transformer or other magnetic field in the vicinity (trymoving phonograph away from suspected source). Checkalso that the phono input cable shielding is grounded tothe ampl !fier chassis at one point only, through the skirtof the input connector where it plugs into the ampl ifier.Finally, try a good building ground such as a connectionfrom a cold water pipe terminated under speaker terminal

G" on the amplifier Do not connect such a ground wireto other components in the system If possible, let eachchannel be connected to the amplifier using a separateshielded cable to the ampl ifier input. It is also desirablethat the ground leads on both cables not be connected to-

gether at any point - not even at the cartridge. How-ever, with some cartridges, it will not be possible to do

this. In this case, just disregard this last instruction.

Excessive hum on other inputs may be checked in a similarmanner. Disconnect the input cable in question and shortthe particular input jack to the chassis. If the hum dis-appears, the trouble is external to the amp! ifier. Notethat on all inputs, the braid of th;;; input cable shou Id con-nect to the ampl ifier only through the skirt of the inputconnector. The cause and remedies for the following

symptoms are then based on the assumption that checks

made in the manner described above have eliminated thepossibilityof the trouble being external to the amplifier.

If the trouble is no output or low output, check AC signalvoltages and DC operating voltages starting at the inputand work step_by-step toward the output in each ampl i-fier. Set the VOLUME control to maximum (10), theFOCUS, BASS and TREBLE controls to their mid-points(0), the INPUT SELECTOR to PHONO and the FUNC-TION SELECTOR to STEREO . Use a 1000cycle sine-

wave signal, such as supplied by the EICO 377 Sine &Square Wave Audio Generator In addition, use a pre-cision 100: 1 attenuator to permit obtaining a level of

0035 volt fed into MAG. PHONO from an audio gen-erator output of 0. 35 volts, which can easily be measuredonthelowestACvolts range ofyourVTVM (also improvessignal to hum from generator). Use a high input imped-

ance VTVM for all AC signal voltage measurements; aVTVM or 20, OOOQ/v YOM for DC volts measurements.

. If the trouble is an excessively distorted output, try tubereplacement, signal tracing, or procede directly to vol-tage and resistance measurements.

When the defective stage is local ized, procede to a resist-ance and voltage check of the stage, using the data in theVOLTAGE and RESISTANCE chart. Disconnect theampli-fier from the power line and discharge capacitors prior tomaking any resistance check and prior to removing any orall of theEL84output tubes. Do not turn the amplifier onwith any of the output tubes remove

CHECKING A TYPICAL TUBE STAGE

1. Check tube.2. Check plate and cathode resistor.3. Check coupl ing capacitors for leakage or short.4. For output stage, check dc resistance of transformerwindings.5. Check grid leak resistor for open.6. Check cathode by-pass capacitors for short.7. If no or low B+ voltage on tube, check decoupling

path for open or defective R60, R61, R62, R63 and fiI tercapacitor C37, C38 or C39.8. . If wiring and circuit components including the tubecheck O. K. and B+ voltage is excessive)' check the de-coupl ing path for short or defective R60, R61, R62and R63.

Suspected trouble in the equalization)' tone, focus, andvolume controls and networks should lead to specific re-sistance and capacitance checks to localize the trouble.In general, if the user suspects poor frequency response,defective equal ization)' or defective operation of the tonecontrols, the amplifier should be tested thoroughly withaudio generator, vtvm, and scope.

SPEAKER PHASING

IMPORTANT NOTE ON SPEAKER PHASING: The twoloudspeaker systems must be connected so that they operate.in phase, meaning that corresponding cones or diaphragmsin the systems move in and out together when actuated bythe same or similar signals. A simple method of checkingthis is to playa conventional monophonic (lateral) record-ing having considerable bass program material, setting theFUNCTION SELECTOR at MONAURAL. After listeningfor a few minutes, reverse the connections of the speakerleads at only one of the speaker systems - not both - andlisten again to the same program material. Normally, youwi II noti ce that one of these connections seems to give

bass re-inforcement and the other bass cancellation. The

connection that gives bass re-inforcement is the in-phaseconnection and should be used.

Another criterion for the in-phase connection is that ofblending, which can be best applied if the speaker systemsare identical or at least have similar middle and highfrequency range reproducers. With the in-phase con-nection and both speakers operating at approximately thesame volume level, a monophonic source will appear to beemanating from a point mid-way between and the twospeakers will blend. With the out-of-phase connection,the two sources will appear to remain separate.
