febuary pinup of klang

heres an  interesting point to take a look at. virtually all the console wiring and isolating transformers are in place now, ready to attach to the amplifier circuits. a total of 64 operational, preamp and output stages. ive made up the circuitboards and edged them and placed them all into the console frame to try them on/in for size and ergonomics. this next week will see the boards populated and tested.

its the end of a great year. made some beaut gear. and music. and gained a few more good friends and clients.   progress has been steady for tony’s new klangenschmitt console. ive been juggling  many activities. the wiring from all the panel components is almost all done. just the balancing transformers to fit and wire. and then its circuit board manufacture. and power supply. and vu meter cabinet fitment. and then total galvanised cabinetisation with paint. boooom!

friday i got the new mixer panel back from the painters. last week i’d letter stamped it and now its ready to start building onto. its a 20 input channel - into 4 recording subgroups - into stereo2mix -  recording/mixing board with 2 auxiliary sends. 4  input channels have microphone inputs. 8 are instrument or line channels. 4 are simple direct to mix returns. then there are 4 tape monitoring channels. theres an afl system. and control room listening switcher. and a test audio oscillator. there will be a bridge of  6 vu meters in that space provided. a fairly large build actually. next photo will be with all the parts fitted to the panel ready for wiring up.
