New TS-2 Preamp ... under development (part II)

Looks backwards to me as well.

^^^ It's not trim, it's the MIRT control.

Woohoo... I have in my hands the new CNC engraved front panel prototype.



Still waiting for the Laser engraved front panels to arrive, then I'll do a comparison based on looks and cost factor.

The cost of these panels are very high though... yikes.  But man, they sure do look good!

I'll try to fit them on the prototype case to get the full effect.

That looks sharp!

And I like that you've gone back to spelling out Gain and Trim! Looks nice.

Here it is....



Just a few minor adjustments in the panel... deleting one hole, adjusting the switch holes by 1mm, and maybe using a 1mm less thick panel so the toggle switch handles peek out more.

But so far, I LIKE IT!

Looks great! Can we see picture of the other sides so we ca see all the connectors? Demanding bunch, aren't we? Thanks for what you are doing, I need to start saving my pennies so I can buy one soon.

This is just the prototype case, so the (4) XLRs were at the side.... the final version will have (4) XLRs and the locking DC jack (Switchcraft) all at the rear panel.

Thanks for clearing that up! Now I know.

So it's official that there won't be an 1/8" out for us poor folk with low-end recorders....?

thanks

I'm sure an adapter cable could be rigged up.

I really would like the 1/8" out....at least have it as an option.

available in both female and male versions to buy, or make your own. Quick and easy either way.  XLR > 1/8" is something you should have in your bag anyway if you have a small recorder with 1/8" input..

Fivefish, that pre is looking f@cking tight man!

[fivefishdiy]

1/8" out will be available as an extra mod... (and will cost extra... for the part, drilling, wiring, labor, time)

That's great!
personally I wouldn't want one
but I know some folks would
and to offer it as an option is great
thanx for developing this and working along with our suggestions!
