Nice work..waveforms look good..how does it sound?

It sounds great - though I have developed many versions.  In testing existing coupler circuit designs, I felt there was  room for improvement.  So I've spent a Lot of time on that aspect, with the design being different than the rmod or schoeps.  Developing the methodologies to do all of this - test fixtures, etc - also takes a lot of time.

Those particular waveforms are just scope pr0n.  It seemed like a good background ;)

When I got the jklabs ECMS-22 active cables+box for AKG ck6x caps years ago, I asked Jon Kjoll what the ECMS-22 meant.  His reply, Extended Capsule Management System, working design #22.

Working the kinks out and getting the best design is good, but don't drive yourself crazy with 22 different designs before going forward.

Not everybody here is in the US though.  That said, imperial measures are a pain in the ASS.  Quick, how much does the water in a 25 yard x 12 yard x 5' deep pool weigh?  How about 25m x 12m x 1.5m (not exact conversions, I am being lazy)?  Easy, 2500 * 1200 * 150 = 450M cc = 450,000 L = 450,000 kg.  Got the imperial done yet?  Who care about pools?  Well, they are a lot more fun than machine work and electronics  :P

When do you electronics though you have to use both, as different components use different measures.

Oh, the AKG:  its OD is 21mm.  You can call it 53/64" if you like.

Hahaha nice math skills ;)
