Bias Adjustment for EL34's: Notes:

1) With speaker load connected, turn power “ON” and let tubes warm up. Switch standby *Twist filament wires together tightly PINOUTS
to "ON." *Check Polarity (+ & -) of all Electrolytic Capacitors.
2) Set your meter to the Highest DC volts setting (600V or higher), and put the common
*All Resistors are 1/2W Unless Noted 6CA7 / EL34 12AX7 / ECC83
(ground) lead on one of the chassis mounting nuts or alligator clip it to the chassis. *Shielded Wires are only grounded at one end.
Touch the positive lead to Pin 3 (plate) of one of the EL34 power tube sockets. This is *Power Transformer: 40-18024
your Plate Voltage. Write it down. *Output Transformer: 40-18026
*BE VERY CAREFULL WITH THIS STEP (HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT)*

3) EL34's are 25 watts maximum dissipation and you want to set the bias to 70% max

dissipation. (70% = 17.5 watts) Divide your desired wattage by the plate voltage that you questions@triodestore.com
wrote down from step 2. (example: 17.5/450 = .038 or 38mV) This is your desired bias
voltage (probably between 30 and 40 mV).

4) Set your meter to lowest DC Volts setting (200mV or less) and touch the common
(ground) lead to the grounded side of the 1 ohm resistor coming off of Pin 1 and the
positive lead to the Pin 1 side. Adjust the bias potentiometer until the bias voltage you
calculated from from Step 3 is achieved.

Plate voltage will change a little when adjusting the bias, so you may need to take
another reading from Pin 3 and adjust your equation accordingly and repeat steps 3 & 4.
