Hi All,
Does anyone know the envelope dimensions of the Smack amp, especially the height? It isn't in the specifications as far as I can see. I have a recess of 9.5 inches high that is determined by WAF. It would just be too frustrating to order the amp & find it not fit. Doc recommends this for the HD800's and I am very tempted.
Also, did anyone move the balanced outs to a more accessible point at/on the front?
Thanks
Marty

Hi Marty,
The top plate dimensions are 8" x 10" and the wood base adds about 5/8" to each side. The base itself is 3-1/2" tall, plus feet -- about 5/16" - 3/8", so a total height to te top plate of slightly less than 4". Then add the height of the tubes and/or power transformer -- another couple inches, give or take, and your 9.5" should be fine.
I haven't built mine yet, but I will most likely put a 4-pin xlr on the front, or maybe in place of the 1/4" jack. and then I may bring the impedance/balanced/se switches to a new plate at the back to cover the existing d cutouts.
Hope this helps,
Jim
