[BUILD] Tr1dent A range PCB support thread

[stitch-o]

Hi all!

Anyone have a mouser BOM for ordering for Troodent micpres?

Cheers!

Ok, got the BOM and ordering together.

Anyone have suggestion on voltage values of the tants?

Cheers!

 

[stitch-o]

One other question:
the BOM requires bc550 and bc560 "ebc" versions of transistors but I can not seem to source these.
Does anyone know where or what version would work?

Cheers!

Hi stitch-o ,
          I think it refers to Emitter, Base , Collector  - I have populated a couple of these PCBs but haven't  got an enclosure yet . I just finished two projects and my DIY funds are non-existent right now

derrrrpeederp. makes sense.
Thanks phreaksters!

I found cheapest 1U rack enclosures here in the US:
http://www.circuitspecialists.com/rackmount-enclosure-et135b.html

Im selling stuff to build a pair of these and a pair of the full channels.
Going to get 4 more preamp boards for a total of 8 x A-range micpres including 2 x full channels w EQs.
As much as the repro's look interesting, I've heard the are not in seriously close tolerance with
the originals.
I worked on an A-range and when I saw this project I just about crapped meself with joy.
And the thought of having enough channels to track drums.... 8) ;D :'(

I think because the desks were so rare and few people nowadays have had the stunning pleasure of working with them
compared with API and 80 series Neve's, these are still such a stealth quality piece of kit.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there are any American equivalents of the suggested OP transformer.

Thanks regarddless,

I used some big honkin' JE-11 outputs on my builds.  They sound very nice.

Can I bug you for a link to one of those? My dumb a** seems to be incapable of finding a pair with le old google.

 

[stitch-o]

Might these work? Unsure of the "FL" version tho...

One more sourcing question:
The 1 pole, 12 position dual deck shorting rotar switches I cant seem to find.
Any one have a source for not so expensive ones that will fit in a 1U case?

Cheers!

I used these on my 71X modules

http://www.jensen-transformers.com/datashts/11dmcf.pdf

and these

on my 51X version.

Hope this helps.

Forgot to post pics of my "finished" unit;
I will get those right input transformers at some point,
now I've just got too many projects to finish

 

[sinestaraudio]

wow, that is impressive!

how does it sound?? are you happy with them?

 

[kooma]

Thanks!
OEP is actually better than tamura in this.
I like it! but gonna try those proper input xformers at some point.

Hi Kooma,

Which OEP did you use please?

I've got a couple of these that have been sitting around far too long that I might actually get round to building soon. I just can't Justify £140 + shipping for the Sowters at the moment.

iirc. it was OEP A262A3E.

I had all the parts exept those sowters (that are something like 200€ shipped here.)
so I built it like that. will be getting those eventually and I'm sure they are much better
but now I have working preamp waiting for them compared to just pile of parts waiting for them

Thanks. I'm in a similar situation, I have pretty much everything else, I'll buy the Sowters at a later date.

 

[kooma]

btw. has anyone made line/Hi-Z input for this?

 

[Vorg]

Sorry to resurrect this thread back from the death but I can't seem to find my building guide and the links provided do not work anymore: could anybody help me out?  :-[

 

[kpearsall]

In a session at the moment, but I’ll make sure my manual link works again when I get done

 

[emtee]

Hi all, just digging this project out again and finally ordered the input transformers...

Does anyone have a working link to the build docs for this please?

 

[emtee]

Never mind, found an old time machine backup that had the documents.  8)
