VW golf – Will it fit?? 14 power amps…

BARELY!!!

This was a hairy transport… I feared getting into an accident with this load. I most certainly would have been taken out. Also, the weight of them sure dropped the back of the car 3″! Thanks again D, I don’t know what I’ve gotten myself into!

Moving stuff across the country

Posted on 20141026 by Anthony P. Kuzub

I most certainly had a busy “reading week”. It started with finishing up a job My brother Mike started. Moving 7 pallets of equipment from my moms garage in Saskatoon. Followed by great visits with Family and friends. I’m sorry I did not get the chance to meet with everyone I had planned to visit with. Things got a little busy in the IT support world and there was so much family to visit!

Three consoles were packaged and palleted up for shipment across the country.

Custom made dollies were built for the two large sections of console frames.

Modules were packed, boxed and palleted. A small fortune in bubble wrap and pallet wrap were employed.
This is the PSU for a console along with a 1″ Studer A80 8 track Recorder that was made transportable.
I’m excited to work on these projects again in my “Spare time”

Stay tuned for updates of what’s happening with this lot. We’re very excited for what’s planned :-)

Balancing and un-balancing simulation

Posted on 20141008 by Anthony P. Kuzub

Started a project for school… got side tracked and designed a balancing and unbalancing circuit for some modules.

Ward-Beck Systems “DINNER BOXES” dB-4

Posted on 20140905 by Anthony P. Kuzub

Well after some time away, I’ve gotten back to the Dinner Box

The dinner box is a PCB that users can solder EDAC connectors that mate with Ward-Beck Systems Auxiliary modules.

With a standardized 5 PIN XLR power connector, users can simply power up (4) WBS filters and Compressors.

In Addition to power and audio, there is the interconnections stereo linking of the M466 compressors using either M466M OR M467 Noise gate modules.

the dB-4 also allows user to mix and match equalizers: any of the M462, M462A, M462B or M464 Filter interchange seamlessly into this bucket.

A balancing card for M472 eq modules is on the drawing board.

Here is a revised version.
The major change is the addition of XLR connectors… The idea of using a dB25 connector is now optional!

I was reading http://professional-sound.com/ (like I do every month plug plug) and saw Joels lovely new studio and Neve Console. Front an centre I was happy to see the set of WBS pre-amps I wired up for him a few years ago. Glad they’re making great records! And congrats to Thomas, who was apparently a regular at Revolution Recording… I just kept my head down and in the back

Ward-Beck Systems “DINNER BOX” – dB-4

Posted on 20140821 by Anthony P. Kuzub

Working on the new Ward-Beck Systems “DINNER BOXES” dB-4

Because there’s real Meat in it… Because sometimes I skip lunch… Because they don’t serve lunch at 4AM… Because I eat lunch for breakfast…

It’s a backplate to simply wire and power up (4) WBS filters and Compressors. M466, M466M, M462, A, B or M464 Filter. A balancing card for M472 eq modules is on the drawing board too!

Passive HP/LP Filter calculator – More fun with Excel

To better understand the behavior of a Passive Resistor Inductor / Resistor Capacitor I built another excel calculator….

RLC calculator for components in series

Posted on 20140707 by Anthony P. Kuzub

I’ve been calculating a lot of components in series lately for an ECR255 class. I’ve also had to graph them on impedance diagrams and a power triangle.

In an effort to better understand the math I made a calculator for myself. Here is it for you to use and enjoy. If you see any problems please let me know. It was designed in excel 2011 for mac… there WILL be compatibility issues and I hope they’re minor.

How it works:

You can fill int the info you have in the orange boxes. Once the boxes are filled in the calculator should fill in the rest.

If you need to modify anything else, it’s all dependant on the orange boxes. I suggest a goal seek by modifying and orange cell.

Hairball build

All things considered the build is going well.

The leads from the supplied output transformer could have been longer… and if anyone knows a good way to remove paint for grounding posts let me know :-)

Ward-Beck Systems – RTO-214 and RTO-114 prototype

Hatchback pack…

Posted on 20140503 by Anthony P. Kuzub

I know now we can fit two of the 2′ cubes and the “little” white one in the car.

Major kudos to HHB Canada for being just the coolest company around. The future and present is in those walls.
