Cabinet dream 2012

A little spare time and my mind designs the new cabinet :)
5 HU (22.5 cm) style, so not this little Doepfer tingies ;)

total front width will be 99cm (18 U)

this baby will be driven with a linear power supply +15 VDC / -15 VDC with 3 A per channel (hope this is enough)
 

First PCBs from september 2011

These are the first PCB's I ordered for my modular dream back in September 2011 from curetronic.
The PCB's are pre-soldered and checked.


You see a power supply and a bus-board, 100m 121 VCF, Mixer and the Steiner-Parker VCF.

and this is when the pot's and jack's are soldered. A little quiz ... find IN1 for testing :)

I dream of wires - too :)

This vid explains why guys like me build stuff like we do


I LOVE THIS :)

new Cabinet

After only 5 month of building and researching, my original cabinet (2 * 12 Units) is way to small.
New plan is a cabinet with 4 rows of 18 units each, powerd by a big linear power supply
