Is the Neumann W495B EQ DIYable?

[quote author="PRR"]Frankly, I suspect 5532 would work as well, a trace better, and a lot cheaper, but may not have that German Radio sound. [/quote]

All non diskret OP in the later Neumann stuff were build around 5532/5534
(Line amps/summing/EQ/etc.). So I think you will not have any problems with "removing" the "german radio sound".... :grin:

Would the 5532 also be happy with 0V and 24V?

Yes. Take a look at this:

http://www.silentarts.de/lab/Studiotechnik/Neumann/V475-2B_Schematic.pdf

Its also a single ended 24V Neumann module and uses 5534...

Thanks to you all....
Well, I think the project is still on then. Right now I'm looking for some second hand neumann stuff on evilbay. Even a simple stereo fader has 4 transformers in it, and much cheaper than @ Haufe....

and NJR sells production quantities, not twos and threes.

ProFusion PLC in UK sells many of these in lower quntities (they're the ones also selling THAT vca's).

Thats good news. Do you know this only about N*eumann or also about all the other Rundfunktechnik-brands?

Well, if it's a active fader it has transformers in it most of the time.
What I usually de when I see a neumann module is check the schematics on http://www.kubarth.de/cgi-bin/diy/german/index#u
