I was thinking of that tiny clear plastic GC you made. Wasn't that based around the pcbs you are selling?

Vikash · 19th May 2005, 12:24 PM

Yep, the chassis was made around the amp PCB's and heatsinks. I can provide the plastic sheets and cut extruded rod to make TATCA.

If there is interest, I see no reason why not to offer a very simple TATCA-like chassis in the future. After all it's only four pieces of plastic, and two heatsinks

What's the height and diameter of the transformer? I'll be interested if it will fit Peter's integrated chassis.

110 x 60 mm.

Vikash · 14th June 2005, 06:07 PM

The PCB's have arrived. I'm putting one of the kits together and they should be ready to ship out in a few days (busy moving into offices at the moment).

I've settled on bnc conenctors for the mic input and they will be supplied with the full kits.

Silly question - and I probably haven't been paying attention - but what's the mic preamp's intended use? Is it a measuring tool or intended as a preamp for line only recorders?

Hi Colin, the intention is to use it as a meauring tool. Partnered with the quite linear WM-61 electret, its primary function for most will be measuring loudspeaker FR.

However, I've used the first prototype to record a percussion lesson, and I was quite impressed with it, so I'll be doing a lot of recording with it in future too.
