News:  Analog real time strong pass audio filter.

Mono version . 
Insulated , balanced output.
Some  assembly /  delivery time   on this item.
Estimated price:   € 350

*******************************************************
A new idea  in live analog audio  background noise reduction / removal .
Strong   pass audio filter, with adjustable setting of
minimum pass level
.
 


Bad input  gives bad output ,  but there are exeptions when the output result depends on human hearing.
Our ears are not sensitive to volume change.  3dB is the absolute minimum audio volume difference we can hear.
 3dB  equals to Signal voltage x2 or /2  , using a linear scale.

By using our live strong pass audio filter to eliminate background noise, all signals smaller than the minimun pass level adjusted by the user, are reduced by a  factor, typical  20dB or 100 times .
This noise cancelling function is strong,  something you can really hear.

Idea & solution by
Joar Falstad.

No signal delay.  No change in pitch, maximum volume or tone balance .

Measured  audio
volume reduction outside pass level:   up to  100 x  or   20db

Strong pass audio filter test  :

Demo video , youtube



Live   audio background noise reduction or removal , hiss cleaner , strong pass signal filter .
Prototype.  
Test version only.

Real time analog audio   noise and hiss cleaner ,


Line   signals  in consumer equipment has a standard max value :  0.316  Vrms 
Tape , Tuner and Aux signals are normally close to the standard of line signals 
 

Our live strong pass audio filter  has a 
in / ouput limit of  : 4Vrms 
All versions for sale have  galvanic insulated transformer output.

A Pilot 240B for test and repair,   just something to memorize.
This unik valve stereo amplifier is now back in action, after a long rest. 
One of the best amplifiers  in any class. 

 


The Beard   P35
and 
most other  VALVE audio   amplifiers   have Direct Coupled audio signal inputs.

Note!      DC
audio signal inputs are not compatible with audio signal outputs found on modern preamplifiers or pc earphone output . 
 A DCvoltage pulse of several volts from a pc or modern preamplifier at Power ON, to this type of signal input can overload and damage the valve in the input stage

Convert to AC audio signal inputs .  Capacitors  is  a hint.

Note!  High Voltage inside the amplifier

S
elf oscillations in the amplifier.

Some input stage valves, mainly triodes, have internal positive feedback , this can be locally neutralized.
You'll get the best overall result by doing just that, before adding other oscillation cancelling parts in the input or feedback circuit.

Natural, non colored, high quality sound.
Even to day,  a good quality VALVE amplifier  has the best soun

AD/DA Conversion and Data Acquisition made easy.
Easy setup. Easy to run and control.




Time and Masterfile controlled AD-DA conversion ,
Easy setup. Easy to run and control.
The Masterfile
is generated by the program itself , as a linear "Unit Value" function from a Time ref to the next "Unit Value" at the next Time ref.
There is no limit in number of Time ref's  from tne project start time to the final stop time.
PC clock is used to control the Time

First ver : ISA , Win95 .  Early demo version download
Next ver : PCI , Win98 . Plug & Play.
We are now working on a USB ver in Win7

Some instruments in our workshop are not in use to day, but  rare ones are kept for the history .




Rare VLF generator / service instrument. Band range: 10Kz - 60Kz  . 
From early 60'ties
.

VLF Transmitter at that time  in Norway :  Noviken VLF Transmitter
.  16.4 KZ

ULF / VLF Receivers was widely used in submarines, and some countries are still using them.
Transmission is slow . 
They was  mostly used to receive coded messages , like new GPS coordinates .  
It's advantage is that it works over wide ocean areas, also when the sub is 
submerged .

Now, sixty years later  perhaps something new is in the making
.
At present China is  working to develope "laser" satelites , able to detect moving subs ,  even  500 meters  below the ocean surface  .
