Re: dbx 202XT 202R and 2002T Schematics
Gary Hebert of THAT Corporation provided this description of the Va adjust on the 2002T: The gain cell core in the Blackmer VCA has PNP and NPN transistors in a complementary arrangement. As the gain control voltage moves either way away from 0V, the collector-base voltage on (at least) two of the f...

1992 Discussion with Bob Pease re Cascaded Op Amps
I hope Bob doesn't mind me posting this but since he published it I don't think he will mind. National with their new op amps are keen to recognize that op amp distortion, although vanishingly low, does increase significantly when numerous stages are cascaded. Let's rewind back to 1992: https://www....

1992 Discussion with Bob Pease re Phantom Power
In my correspondence with Bob I mentioned that I thought the SSL 82E149 active mic pre was dumb. He asked why (page 3 but hard to see) and I explained to him what I didn't like about active mic preamps and phantom power. I wrote in the DC-coupled preamp thread that it had been bugging me for a long ...

dbx 202XT 202R and 2002T Schematics
Gary Hebert of THAT Corporation was kind enough to send me schematics of the open-frame 202 replacement modules which they no longer make.

Re: My Future Studio in progress
Roger - I've been meaning to tell you how impressed I am with your studio pics. I don't actually use this stuff - the last time I mixed was in college - I'm a toolmaker I suppose. My studio consists of CoolEdit, an E-Mu 0404 and my daughter's Yamaha keyboard. I recall hooking up it's Midi connection...

Re: Using the THAT1646 As A Power Transistor Pre-Driver
I've been mulling over the use of a "helper" op amp to provide output stage linearity compensation and reduce class-A idle current. I decided to see what the addition of a 5534 would do in order to get global feedback into the THAT1646 input. Using the Jim Williams (of Linear Technology Co...

Re: My Future Studio in progress
$87? Wow. Deal of the century Adam. Good luck with the barn. When I worked for SSL US they were headquartered in a converted barn in Milan, MI. It worked very nice for them with SSL Console HQ upstairs and the SSL Organ operation downstairs. Needless to say the downstairs, being part woodshop was qu...

Re: Dynamic Equalizer
Oh. and it's nice to be able to discuss such things without someone feeling I'm taking advantage of them for financial gains or whatever.... That's our genesis here at the Pico Compressor Forum. The M/S stuff is definitely interesting. Maybe in the audio and the sidechain paths... Hmm... M/S Sidech...

Re: Dynamic Equalizer
crusty - thanks for the reply. I suppose it is a multi-band dynamics processor with only one band processed and I briefly considered renaming the thread. But after thinking about it maybe not. I picked up the thread title from an existing post over at Prodigy where I contributed this. The distinctio...

Dynamic Equalizer
There was a post today over at Prodigy-Pro that reminded me of this: Larry Blakely while at dbx presented an AES paper "A Variable Frequency Limiter/Compressor/Expander" which was given the working model number dbx169. I don't think it was ever built but it was a frequency-selective dynami...
