DESCRIPTION
‘The Mark IV Amplifier uses a circuit arrangement
based on that of the Dynakits Mark If and Mark TTT
which have become world famous for superior quality
while essentially simple and trouble free, ‘The new
7199 tube is used as a pentode high gain voltage am:
plifier directly coupled to a eathodyne phase inverter.
All parameters are adjusted for minimum distortion.
‘This type of phase inverter has the unique advantage
that its operation is independent of tube aging so that
no adjustments are required in maintaining optimum
performance.
‘An internal capacitive feedback loop balanees the
phase inverter at the highest frequencies. and the
arrangement provides accurately halanced driving
signals to the output tubes, which are EL-34's oper
ated well below their maximum ratings. ‘The output
tubes use a fixed bias arrangement which is set
through use of Dyna Biaset + patent pending» which
provides optimum linearity of the tubes and mini
Inizes the effects of unbalanced components. ‘The:
connection of the output tubes includes a small per
‘centage of screen loading which improves the regu
Iation of the output stage and makes it comparatively
uncritical of load impedance.
‘The impedance match and bias conditions utilized
in the output stage provide minimum distortion over
a very wide dynamic range. In addition, 20 DB of
negative voltage feedback lowers the distortion to an
‘unmeasurable proportion at normal listening levels
and to less than 1% intermodulation distortion at
40 watts output,
‘The use of a minimum number of phase shifting
stages along with careful transformer design makes
it possible to have unconditional stability at both
high and low frequencies. “This feature of the design
‘means that there is no tendeney toward motorboating
oF oscillation under any condition of use.
‘The inherent linearity of the cireuit, its absolute
stability, and the prefabrication of all eritical wiring
fon the printed circuit assembly make construction
completely non-critical. ‘The use of conservatively
operated, highest quality components insures supe
rior and dependable operation over a long period of
time,
GENERAL WIRING PRACTICE
Assembly of the Dynakit Mark IV is quite simple
‘compared fo general kit assembly requirements, This
is because all critical parts of the Dynakit are factory
assembled for you on the printed cireuit assembly.
Other parts are out in the open ina free and unelut-
tered layout so there is easy accessibility for wiring
for trouble shooting purposes, Construction of your
Dynakit should not take more than three hours be-
‘cause of these simplifications
Upon opening your kit, check the components with
the parts list. Familiarize yourself with the compo:
nents; they ean be identified by comparison with the
pictorial diagram and by specified color coding,
‘Tools required for easy assembly of your Dynakit
fare a soldering iron ‘small tip) or soldering gun,
Tong nose pliers, screwdriver, and wire cutters. Al
though not essential, a low cost wire stripper and
ceuiter of the type which can be purchased for less
than u dollar will greatly facilitate cutting and strip-
ping the various leads in the Kit.
Good soldering technique is valuable in obtaining.
satisfactory results from any electronic equipment
ALL SOLDERING MUST BE DONE WITH
ROSIN CORE SOLDER. There is no warranty on
any equipment in which acid core solder has been
used, Make sure that the solder is plainly marked
Rosin Core.” If you aye solder on hand the origin
of which is doubiful, itis wise to obtain new 50-50
for 60-40) rosin core solder, Whenever soldering ts
required, the assembly instructions specify it by
'S1". If this symbol is not shown after a connection
is Specified, it indicates that furth wections will
bbe made at that point hefore soldering.
Soldering is accomplished by heating the joint with
the iron until solder is hot enough to flow when
touched to the joint. Tt is not desirable to feed the
solder to the iron. Il should be fed to the junction of
iron and joint, After the solder flows, the iron should
he held in place for a few seeonds and removed when
it is seen that the solder has contacted both parts of
‘the connection. the lug and the wire eonneeted to it
Tr should not show a hall of solder, but a smooth
transition from solder ta compenent lead
Before applying solder the joint should he clean
nd the lead should bye crimped in place se as t0 he
mechanical security. Tis not necessary to wrap leads
round contacts many tins. A single turn and pinch:
ing together with pliers is suitable. After soldering
there should he no play at the joint if the lead is
wiggled with a pair of pliers, Tt is practical to do all
soldering with « pencil type iron with a low wattage
rating. A small tip is extremely useful when working
in confined space. I a soldering gun is used it should
he used with discretion sinew the amwunt of beat
wwailable is fur more than required for soldering Light
Component leads should be trimmed as they are
used; the length should be such that the proper con:
neetion can be made from point to point without
strain on lugs or components, Care should he exer
ised nt to allow wires to touch ane another unless
they are actually connected to the same point
"The instructions whieh follow have been arranged
for simplitied procedure: in whieh the work can be
done without intestorenee between the various por
tions of the wirmg. It is recommended that the in
structions be followed on a step by step huusis, check
ing off wach step as it is completed. The pictorial
diagrams should he used for reference and all con
nections checked against these before going on to dl
next step. If the wiring is done methodically and
cach step checked curefully. your amplifier should
‘work without difficulty as soon as it is completed.MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY

Your Dynakit includes Dyna Biaset (patent pend:
1g) which greatly simplifies setting of the bias volt-
‘age. This can be done with the most simple and inex-
pensive types of DC meters as long as they have a
rating of 1001 ohm por vol€or higher. The correct
setting of the bias provides a total cathode current of
115 MA for the pair of EL-34’s, This current through
the precision 13.5 ohm resistor produces a voltage
drop of exactly 1.38 volts DC, and this voltage can he

PREAMPLIFIERS.
‘The Dynakit Mark IV can be used with any con:
ventional preamplifier in monophonic or stereo sys
tems. Preamplifiers which are self powered are con
nected by simply plugging the signal or audio cable
into the input socket of the Mark IV. Preamplifiers
which are dependent on a power amplifier for their
power source are readily connected to the preamp
power takeof? actal socket on the Mark IV. The Mark
TV wiring instructions include the correct power take:
off connections for both the DYNAKIT PAM-1 pre-amplifier and the Heathkit WA-P2. Should other units
with different power plug wiring be used the takeoff
socket may be rewired to suit requirements, The wire
jumper between lugs #2 and #3 of the 5 lug terminal
may have to be cut depending on the type of preamp
to be used. This jumper should be cut for use when
powering a Dynakit PAM-1 preamplifier or Heath
kit WA-P2 or any other preamplifier which requires
power from a “floating” or ungrounded heater sup-
ply. The jumper should not be cut when using any
preamplifier which has its own, or a separate, power
supply.
PROTECTIVE COVER
‘The protective cover supplied with the MARK IV
hhas been designed to be both functional and attrac.
tive. In normal home usage the cover should always
be used; although the voltage at the top of the printed
circuit is not lethal, an unpleasant shock can be ex
perienced, plus the fact that the tubes in normal
‘operation run hot enough to produce a minor burn if
touched.
‘The amplifier should be located where there is am-
ple ventilation —at least one foot of space above it
and several inches all around. The amplifier can be
located away from other elements of your system so
there is no need to place it in a confitied area. Never
place anything dircetly on the cover which might
limit the ventilation. It is always advisable to operate
the amplifier in its normal vertical position.
‘The cover and bottom plate are attached at the
same time. Place the amplifier on the bottom plate,
then lower the cover over the unit, the tabs on the
cover will fit between the ends of the bottom plate
and the chassis. The three pieces are fastened simul
taneously with sheet metal screws through the sides.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE
Your Dynakit MARK IV has been conservatively.
designed to be as trouble free as possible. Error in
‘assembly or possibly a defective component may
affect performance or render it inoperative. Here are
some suggestions which may help. First ofall the wi
ing and assembly should be doubly checked, by some-
one other than the constructor if possible.
"The tubes should light a few seconds after the uni
is turned on. If not, miswiring or a blown fuse will
probably be the answer. Replace a blown fuse only
with the type (2 ampere) originally supplied.
If the fuse blows when all tubes are removed from,
sockets a defective power transformer or miswiring is
indicated
fone or the pair of E1.34 output tubes glow « cheery
red after warm-up. it is possible that a tube is defec:
tive, or there may be a fault in the bias supply
which controls the current flow of the output tubes,
When the binset reading is 1.36 volts the bias voltage
at the grids ‘pins 51 of the output tubes should be
20%, of 34 volts NEGATIVE, A VTVM or
high impedance meter must he used here. If the volt
tage at each of the grids is not exactly the same, one
of the .1 mfd coupling capacitors on the printed cir:
‘cuit board may be at fault. If one tube has no negative
voltage at pin #5, an open circuit exists between the
tube and bias supply
Tf no meter is available and one tube glows, inter-
changing the two tubes will help indicate the fault. If
the same tube glows in the other socket, the tube is at
fault, If the other tube glows in the original socket
position then wiring or components are at fault,
‘The output tubes supplied with your MARK IV
are carefully matehed at the factory. When replaci
‘output tubes a matched pair should be used, or a new
‘one should be matched to the remaining good one.
In emergencies, substitution of tubes ean be made.
‘Type 5881 or KT65 may be used in place of EL-34’s
provided the bias is readjusted for these tubes. Type
5U4 or 5USGB cin be substituted for the G7-34
5ARS rectifier. Either of these substitutions will re
sult in somewhat lowered power output. however.
‘There is at present no substitute for the 7199 tube.
No Signal
If the momentary insertion of a small screw driver
in the input socket causes a loud hum, the trouble is
probably in the associated equipment. If the ampli-
fier is at fault, testing or substitution of tubes may
help. Voltages may be checked in accordance with
the voltage chart provided in the instructions,
Hum and Noise
Ir excessive hum or noise is apparent, it is essential
to determine whether the disturbance is from the
power amplifier or associated equipment. Power am-
plifiers are often blamed for noise coming from the
preamp. ‘The quick and simple way to determine this
is to remove all but the speaker from the amplifier. If
the hum or noise disappears, the noise comes from
other than the amplifier; if it persists, it ean safely be
assumed it is in the unit.
Sizzling sounds may be caused by poor solder con-
nections and occasionally by a defective resistor.
Loud cracking or popping sounds are generally caused
by loose tube elements and in rare cases a defective
‘quad section filter capacitor.
In the event that the trouble cannot he found, fac:
tory consultation is available at no charge and service
at moderate fees,
FACTORY SERVICE AND GUARANTEE
‘The MARK LV is designed to provide good service
for a long time. It is intended for operation at the
conventional 117 volt line voltage supply to most
homes and may be operated at up to 125 volts with:
out problems. Operation with line voltage above 125
volts will shorten tube and component life, and is not
covered by the guarantee
All parts in the MARK IV are guaranteed for a
period of one full year from purchase date with the
exception of the tubes which are covered by the stand-
ard EIA guarantee of 90 days. Defvetive parts will be
replaced at no charge if they are returned prepaid di
rectly to the factory or through the dealer from whom
the kit was purchased. Many DYNACO dealers stock
parts for convenience of replacement. After the guarantee period, DYNACO will replace any non-stand:
ard parts at net prices. Many of the components are
standard items which can be purchased from most
electronic supply stores.
Tf transformers are returned for factory repair or
replacement, they should be removed from the equip-
ment without cutting leads short. If leads are cut
rather than unsoldered so that they are unusable, the
transformer guarantee is void
In the event the assembled kit does not function
properly or breaks down after use, DYNACO will
service the kit for a fee of $5.00 plus the cost of parts
which have been damaged or are past guarantee. This
service facility is not available for kits which are in:
completely wired or which have been wired with other
than rosin core solder, or in which changes have been
made without factory authorization. In addition, NO
PARTS WILL BE REPLACED NOR WILL ANY
SERVICE BE RENDERED FOR KITS WHERE

the service facility to one year from date of purchase.
When shipping a unit for service, a note must be
attached specifying symptoms, the name and address
of the sender, and the serial number of the unit, The
amplifier should be securely packed with stuffing in-
side the cover to prevent the tubes from coming out
of their sockets in shipment, Tt should be placed in a
rugged carton and surrounded with plenty’ of shock
absorbing packing material. ‘The original carton is,
not suitable for shipping an assembled amplifier.
