Re: THAT2252 RMS Detector Replacement Using A THAT300 Array
My gut feeling is that CA3086 Rbb would be higher than THAT300's. Rbb generally tracks with low ein voltage but at this point not worth losing much sleep over it unless trying to make an accurate full range dB meter. IIRC both DBX and Paul Buff made wide range dB meters back in the day. Both probabl...

Re: THAT2252 RMS Detector Replacement Using A THAT300 Array
The THAT300's rbb is 32Ω typical. I'm not sure I've ever seen the rbb spec for the CA3046 or CA3086. I might be able to make an educated guess from looking at the TS-1 schematic. IIRC the error was almost 1 dB at +20dBu so because of the R it measured high, I'm currently using TL072B for the op amp...

Re: THAT2252 RMS Detector Replacement Using A THAT300 Array
That is a step up from the rectifier and log convertors I made with cheap 3086 transistor arrays. In the TS-1 dB meter I used to get an error near the top of the DB range (+20dBu) from the Rbb of the logging transistor. I bet those array devices have lower Rbb and less subsequent errors related to t...

Re: THAT2252 RMS Detector Replacement Using A THAT300 Array
I saw Rt but discounted it. 8.3 uA x 49.5k is down a few dB from typical 0VU (around 0.4V) discounting the parallel junctions.
Never mind...

Re: THAT2252 RMS Detector Replacement Using A THAT300 Array
Wouldn't subtracting a reference 0VU current from the common emitters (Sym adj probe node) deliver a + and - voltage relative to 0VU threshold?
It may need an offset subtracted to account for two pairs in parallel.

Thanks for the explanation, kind of like the step the old sweetening engineers performed.

Re: A Quadrature Power-Summed Compressor Sidechain For "The Uno Compressor"
Deessing in a final stereo mix is kind of after the horse has already left the barn. Generally excessive sibilance is caused by too close miking hot instruments (like cymbals). Hot HF content quickly attenuates traveling through air to a less close mic. Of course that does not help after the fact. T...

Re: A Quadrature Power-Summed Compressor Sidechain For "The Uno Compressor"
any interest in a de-ess side chain filter? Or is that not as much of problem these days? Since this is a stereo compressor a simple de esser like a DBX900 would be inadequate for most audio program. It would need to be a much fancier side chain than a bandpass filter. Floating threshold, reacts to...

Re: Phono Transfer System Construction Information
These are working into a 14K3Ω load. Wima now have some nice 5 mm lead spaced films in the MKS2 series that go up to 6.8µF so keeping them film is do-able. Cool... I was measuring phase shift at 20kHz from a 22uF caps ESL working into a 360 ohm R. 14K should not cause an issue even with modern elec...
