Hello from Manchester, England

[JimFranklin]

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to Audio and analogue stuff. I have a lot of years (too many to count or admit), but not a lot of analogue.

I am looking at designing and building an audio (and perhaps video) multiplexer.

I am pretty good at pcb design, and have just started with surface mount - I bought my hot air rework station a couple of weeks ago, and I don't know how I ever managed without it - Seriously!

-Jim

Welcome! A native Mancunian?

 

[JimFranklin]

I'm afraid not, i was shipped up from Shepherds Bush in the early 80's when I left my teen years behind...

Still a QPR fan?

 

[JimFranklin]

Nah. although they were 1/2 mile from home, I was a chelsea fan.. influenced by my dad...

But to be honest, I don't actually follow footy.

And as I am pretty close to Manchester, It's impossible to support those guys; that job is reserved to those who are miles away...
(my youngest included for some reason, and she lives in St Helens!)

Happy DIY then. Many threads to follow here, although I see you are more inclined to signal processing than power amps, speakers and such. St Helens is Merseyside, isn't it?

 

[JimFranklin]

I'm here mostly to have a mooch, see what the cool kids are up to, and I thought it was polite to register; rather than just lurk in the shadows.

Yeah St Helens, is merseyside.. I have tried to talk her out of it, but no luck so far - the things kids do to stay away from home!

Did I read on your sidebar that you are in Greece - I am guessing not natively?

100% native Athenian, 15mins on foot from Parthenon. Have been in those places for a little while many years ago. Had a mate was rehearsing with a band in St Helens, was going there with him some times. There was some open land zoo thereabouts if I recall correctly?
