Gorton 204-1 – 6″ rotary table on pivot. Clean up

6″ UNIVERSAL TABLE 204-1

204-1, designed for general all-around small instrument and tool work. Work table is 6″ diameter, accurately graduated to 360 degrees; has four 3/8″ T-slots milled from solid. Can be revolved by hand and clamped in position by lever. 1/2″ hole in center of table permits centering work; bottom of hole is tapped 1/2″ N.C. for holding down work with screw or drawbar. Overall table height (horizontal position) 3-7/8″. Four holes in table top are tapped 1/4″ N.C. for use in attaching Universal Chuck 685-2 listed below.

SWIVEL, graduated through 90 degrees, permits table to be set at any angle from vertical to horizontal and revolved while in these positions. Front edge of base is machined for squaring up work with machine table.

INDEX DIAL on bottom of spindle on which table rotates; desired graduations or index points for letter cutting can be laid out with pencil lines on paper band and clipped around spindle, then indexed by means of pawl. Index dials can be furnished with any desired number of notches on special order at slight additional cost but such work can best be done with Work Holder 256-3 on Page 32. Table complete as shown with index band holder, clamp, 25 index bands. Shipping weight 25 lbs.

 

 

 

Reference of Audio Metering

The Master Reference of Audio Metering

Audio metering serves two distinct masters: Psychoacoustics (how loud the human ear perceives sound) and Electrical Limits (how much voltage the equipment can handle). No single meter can do both perfectly.

This document compiles the ballistics, scales, visual ergonomics, and technical implementations of the world’s major audio metering standards.

MDP – Multi Dimensional Panner

MDP – Multi Dimensional Panner

Demo: https://like.audio/MDP/

## Overview

The **Multi-Dimensional Panner (MDP)** is an advanced user interface concept designed for spatial audio mixing, object-based panning (e.g., Dolby Atmos), and complex parameter control. It extends the traditional “Linear Travelling Potentiometer” (LTP) by placing it within a free-floating, rotatable widget on a 2D plane.

The “Pin 1 Problem” Multiplied: Why We Must Solve the AES59 Grounding Trap

By Anthony P. Kuzub Chair, AES-X249 Task Group SC-05-05-A

In the world of professional audio, the transition from XLRs to high-density DB25 connectors was a matter of necessity. We needed more channels in smaller spaces. But in adopting the AES59 standard (often called the TASCAM pinout), the industry inadvertently created a trap—an 8-channel variation of a problem we thought we had solved decades ago.

Putting the Mechanics into Quantum Mechanics

As we explore the frontier of quantum computing, we’re not just grappling with abstract concepts like superposition and entanglement—we’re engineering systems that manipulate light, matter, and energy at their most fundamental levels. In many ways, this feels like a return to analog principles, where computation is continuous rather than discrete.

The Case of the Conductive Cable Conundrum

I love interesting weird audio problems—the stranger the better! When a colleague reached out with a baffling issue of severe signal loading on their freshly built instrument cables, I knew it was right up my alley. It involved high-quality components behaving badly, and it was a great reminder that even experts can overlook a small but critical detail buried in the cable specifications. Continue reading
