Myth 11 Service Manual

The Sphinx Myth 11 design
This service manual will help you to optimally
service and repair the Sphinx Myth 11 Stereo
Power Amplifier.
This high quality high end stereo power amp is of
discrete design throughout (no IC's are used).
The power amp uses specially selected Power
MOS-FETs with a power bandwidth of over 20 MHz,
a very fast slew rate and an unsurpassed phase
linearity over the power bandwidth. Each channel
uses four 120W/10 A FETs, operates as a pure
voltage source with an extremely low impedance
and is thus very stable.
The most unique feature is that it works in full
Class-A mode up to 10 W!
Thanks to the generous energy reserve of 69,600
µF, unlimited power is available for the largest
signal peaks.
To obtain the maximum quality from this power amp
it is necessary to use it with top quality audio
components, preferably with other Sphinx
components.
1. UNPACKING
Before leaving the factory every Myth 11 is
subjected to stringent and extensive technical and
exterior quality inspection.
This ensures you will enjoy many years of high
quality audio from a perfect-looking product.
Attention: The power amp weighs over 10 kg!
Never lift it out of the box without someone
helping you.
After unpacking your Myth 11 we therefore
recommend you carefully check it for any transport
damage.
Even if the component is in perfect condition you
should still keep the packing materials. If you need
to transport your Myth 11 at a later time it will be
best protected by the original packing materials.
