Re: Texar Prism clone prototype Finished Version

Are there any issues sourcing the MLCC caps? I have an open cart at Mouser right now for another project and haven't checked them. I’ve noticed lately that Mouser is picked over. I couldn’t get some non exotic aluminum electrolytic caps in the form factor I needed in any brand. Digikey has much bet...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors

After thinking about it again I think the 8 pole 3 pos switch is the best answer. Signal Input goes to Wiper 1-4. Attenuator Input is from Wiper 5-8. In Position 1, Wiper 1-4 Signal input connects to Poles 1-4. Poles 1-4 are jumpered to Poles 5-8. Poles 5-8 feed Attenuator Input. In Position 2, Pole...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors

I'm suggesting that you put the MS encoder, to monitor Mono or Difference, ahead of the Monitor attenuator. That way you have a low impedance source to drive the H-pad and you don't have to worry about the MS loading the pad. What advantage is there to it being post? It is ahead of the monitor atte...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors

I'm trying to mimic the specified 1246 input with a 6dB pad. Shouldn't I be doing that for center channel headroom? If the 1246 could be made to have a 100K input impedance I'd be good.

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors

I would like to use the Encode half of the M/S board(s) in my monitor controller for Mono and Difference. The Monitor Controller uses a balanced H pad with a 10K input impedance when both are fed in parallel. I would like the input to the M/S board to have an input impedance of 100K so the input sti...

Re: "MS Mini" Basic Mid Side Board

I still have a pile of the V1 PCB's that I get good use out of. This is a nice addition to the line.

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

Will it be possible to bring any of the 'under the hood' parameters like attack, release and ratio, out to the front panel? To use it in a production as opposed to broadcast environment I think that would be necessary. Really cool project though. Following closely.

Re: Digikey leadtime trends

I think Wayne mentioned it in another post but I've been finding Digikey has stock of many items, like Meanwell PSU's, that Mouser is out of. Mouser is my first call but I check Digikey if Mouser is out of stock.

Re: Phono Transfer System Construction Information

Studer made a layback machine? Wow, that brings back memories of the MCI JH-110 1" layback I used to have to maintain at DSL. The 1” Preview deck was pieced together from the 1” layback machine and a 1/4” parts machine. I got the layback machine in Toronto. It was missing the headstack. That a...
