 GC-73 Calibration / Setup

Output Bias Setting*;

Measure the voltage across R6 on the GC-PW board

You should initially get a reading of about 70-80mV DC

Adjust R63 until you read 130mV

* If you have the equipment available, the “correct” way to do this is by measuring the output distortion and adjusting R63 for minimum.
However, you will probably end up with a current of about 130mA anyway so the above method works fine.
