DIY DUAL GERMANIUM MIC PRE-EQ BASED ON NEVE EARLY DESIGNS

[Wonderlandaudio]

All interested please let me know. Shematics hosted in http://groupdiy.silentarts.net/Wonderlandaudio/Binder1.pdf

I´ve sourced for the germanium transistors and all are currently made by Digitron. I have Gardners input transformers to make around 20 pairs. If enough interest I´ll share the gardners.Please let me know

Hi.

I am definately interested!

I'm interested in the simplified mic pre idea without the eq. And I'd take 2 of the transformers if you make them available.

 

[Wonderlandaudio]

I been thinking about including the simplified eq because it´s basically 2 pots, a B101 or B105 card, which is like 2 transistors and a few res. and believe me the bass is insane. I guess it overloads the output stage. The mic pre alone is basically a 1253 with and additional sensitivity switch.

Has anybody tested this?

A 4 pole 24 step rotary switch for 12 Euros!!!!

Wonderland,

Are you the gear manufacturer whose ads I've seen in TapeOp? Where are you located?


Thanks,

Brian

[Wonderlandaudio]

So 3 pairs at this moment, right?

Oh right, that was Wunder Audio. Sorry for the diversion. Sounds like a very cool project.

Interested in the transformers and the project. Two for sure.

 

[Wonderlandaudio]

4 pairs... 5 pairs skip?

 

[Wonderlandaudio]

4 or 5 pairs more and it´s done

Are you planning to sell these as kits with the transformers and transistors, or are you planning to sell the completed modules?

 

[Wonderlandaudio]

I just want to share the transformers and see if we can work it out together. I had some previous ideas and I´ve been looking for parts and sources. I also have real modules for comparison and testing.

Just to clearify, i would be interested in 1 pair!!

By the way, where did you find all the Neve modules (55!?) you sold to the US, in Spain??
Or maybe that is your secret???

Regards,
Dennis

 

[synthi]

2 pairs for me too!!!

I`ll bet this time I can get a better shipping cost than all of you.. Spain... hehe :thumb:
