Hi to all,
I recently bought an 82e149 input card. I'd like to build a micpre-compressor unit using it. My problem is to find a cardedge connector (61 contacts - 2.54mm row space single sided) and gain pot (dual lin 470 + 10k) in Europe (in France if possible). Perhaps it would be easier to replace pot with a rotary switch (11 or 12 positions to cover 20-70dB gain range). I also have a more technical question about sound quality improvement possiblities (seen in this document : http://www.tenmilecreek.net/images/picking_caps.pdf). What type and value could I try to parallel the back-to-back electrolytic capacitors?
Secondly, I'm looking for a compressor card (DIY kit with existing PCB) to fit with my micpre card. I'd like a "neutral" and "accurate" sound quality - VCA based ?, like original 82e010 dynamics card-. My knowledge about top quality compressors is not sufficient to make the good choice.
So any help will be appreciated. And long life to to this great forum; :cool:
