IK Multimedia Launches Compact Guitar Interface With Tone-Shaping and Re-Amplification Features

IK Multimedia continues to show a unique ability to design and quickly bring to market innovative solutions. And that's not easy to do in a crowded category such as USB audio recording interfaces. With the AXE I/O SOLO, IK Multimedia expanded its range of AXE I/O high-end guitar interfaces with advanced tone-shaping features, while offering a more budget-friendly, mobile format. The little unit also offers IK's proprietary Z-Tone impedance-adapting circuit and powerful guitar recording tools.

Linear Systems Reintroduces LSK389 Ultra-Low Noise N-Channel JFET

Linear Systems Reintroduces LSK389 Ultra-Low Noise N-Channel JFET

Linear Systems has reintroduced its most popular part, the LSK389, which the Silicon Valley company calls the industry’s first 100% noise tested, ultra-low noise (en = 1.3nV/√Hz (typ), f = 1.0kHz and NBW = 1.0Hz), monolithic dual, n-channel JFET. New test capability screens to a billionth of a volt (nV/√Hz) of noise now ensures that all LSK389s devices produce no burst (RTN or popcorn) noise and meet or exceed 1/f and broadband noise specifications.

elysia Designs skulpter 500 Class-A Sound Shaping Recording Preamp

High-end studio processor manufacturer elysia announced availability of its new skulpter 500 sound shaping preamp — pushing its range of 500 Series recording hardware into another area of processing. According to the German company, the skulpter 500 is high quality recording preamp based on single resistors controlling a fully discrete Class-A amplifier capable of complementing any microphone or high-impedance instrumental source and adding two variable saturation/filter stages and an intelligent onboard compressor.

A Battery-Powered Class A Headphone Amp

A Battery-Powered Class A Headphone Amp

This project is based on Erno Borbely’s EB-602/210 single-ended pure Class A amplifier and is capable of driving headphones between 32 and 600Ω. It consists of two identical but separate amps laid out on the same PCB. The schematic is the same as Erno’s extremely popular hybrid tube/MOSFET line amp, published in Glass Audio 1/98. However, the dual triode at the input is replaced by a dual JFET (SK389). This article was originally published in audioXpress, July 2004.

You can DIY! The F5 Power Amplifier

You can DIY! The F5 Power Amplifier

In 2008, Nelson Pass submitted an article on its new F5 power amplifier design to audioXpress. At the time, he wrote: “I feel that it’s important to support AudioXpress, a magazine with which I have a 35 year history, and which also serves as a mainstay for the DIY community. Lately they have kindly printed projects that I had already posted on the web, but I decided that they deserve a little better than that.” Effectively, the F5 project was published in May 2008 and had a huge impact on the global DIY community and certainly contributed for the fact that audioXpress is still around today.

The New Generation Mark Levinson Components at High End Munich 2016

Harman’s Mark Levinson had much to show at the 2016 High End show in Munich. Adding to the 519 high-resolution and streaming audio player, and the 526 dual-monaural preamp with high resolution DAC and phono stage, both previewed at CES 2016, the revitalized company now introduced the 523, a version of the 526 without the DAC, and launched the 585 dual-monaural integrated amplifier with Precision Link DAC, and the 536 and 534, monaural and dual monaural amplifiers.

EB-604/410 All-JFET Line Amp Starter Kit

This article continues the classic JFETs series of articles by Erno Borbely and introduces one of his starter kits with an all-JFET line amp. Originally published in audioXpress March 2005 this is an essential reading to understand the “building blocks” of the “Borbely amplifiers”.

JFETs: The New Frontier, Part 2

JFETs: The New Frontier, Part 2

The basic circuits on which Erno Borbely based most of his projects are described in “JFETs: The New Frontiers, Part I and II,” published in Audio Electronics AE 5/99 and 6/99, and “All-FET Line Amp,” published in audioXpress May 2002. As the author admits, these were the “building blocks” on which many - if not all - of his amplifiers are based. This articles continues his JFETs series and was originally published in Audio Electronics, Vol 5 1999.
