Re: SMT passives for audio

Thanks for joining us! There are some pretty significant differences in SMT resistors which, due to signal-induced self-heating, have better or worse THD-3. On a recent demo board THAT used Susumu because they tested better. Those are available from Digi-Key. Dave Hill of Crane Song shared some of h...

Re: MicMix MasterRoom Spring Reverb Project

The only one I remember having a mechanical VU was the MasterRoom B-series for broadcast. The model number doesn't seem to fit. I'd be intersted in seeing a picture. If there is a problem with the driver or electronics the parts will be numbered. IIRC the driver transistors were Motorola TO-66 devic...

Fortunately it got up to almost 60 the day after I posted this. I tried to channel my inner yankee but there just wasn't one to channel.

The Man Behind the (Ribbon) Mic

PITMAN, N.J. — Clarence Kane possesses a skill set that makes him rather unique in age of “if it’s broke, throw it away” and “nothing’s made in America anymore.” He repairs ribbon (or, more correctly, velocity) microphones, and has been doing so for more than 30 years. Kane’s customers have include...

Re: DPOTs for audio control

Yes. VCA, SPI interface for control, stored wiper (gain) setting, slewing between steps with an external C to eliminate zipping. Add an analog Ec for realtime control. The VCA always wakes up with the last gain setting and moves between steps with a smooth linear dB slope. I didn't literally mean a...

Re: DPOTs for audio control

Well, in the 5171 the zip performance is quite good. I also recall the MDAC LogDACs being fairly smooth too. With most program material the small step changes get masked. In any switch-based solution however (except maybe PWM) there will always be a step response to gain change. That's why I think t...
