Ok, more crazy PermO Rhodes ramblings...
This is a Rhodes MKI;
So evey hump is a little coil actually and they are all in series and there's 73 of them.
The lid on these things is plastic, I could not put my Moog which takes 230AC on top as it caused interference.
So I did this;
Yup, that works... Moog sits on top, no problem.. So the ring is tied to ground at the preamp input.
I prefer the sound directly from the bridge anyway, instead of those two dodgy pots with a cap.
So now that I have this, and am "designing" this super special preamp.... why not use it ?
This is not about keeping it low cost or simple, I want the best noise perfromance and gain I can get.
Do microphones always tie one end of the capsule to ground ?
Does it make sense to creat a a differential input stage for ultra low noise performance ?
Would an input transformer be ideal in this case ?
Rant mode off... thanks for partaking !
