Graeme Cohen Philips OM1556 Mic Preamp Documents

Post by mediatechnology »

OK, it has taken quite a while, but my AES colleague Ian DuRieu has talked Graeme Cohen into presenting his perspective of the preamp that is the subject of this thread. It can be found here http://leonaudio.biz/cohen.htm Thanks Ian and Graeme, enjoy!

I wanted to share the photos with you available on the link above courtesy of Graeme, Ian and Keith. For more information visit Ian's site http://www.leonaudio.biz and obtain the pdf where you'll find Cohen's papers and original OM1556 documents. Thanks guys.

Here are the pics. Too bad we can't make hybrids at home.
