MD Tech


This page is semi-technical and related somewhat to MD.  This is the second iteration.  Finally something new was added - the Aiwa information.
 
 

Aiwa MD Microphone Preamplifier:  Thanks to Bob Cain, there is now some hard data on the Aiwa. Wonderful!

Sony MD Microphone Preamplifier:  Taking a look at the part between your mic and the impenetrable custom ic.  Also contains a table down the bottom relating headroom, mic sensitivity, volume - perhaps of interest if you've ever experienced distortion recording on a Sony.

Electret Microphone Preamplifier:  A simple design, one method of avoiding problems in above.

Superficial ATRAC Investigation:  In which I examine the effects of ATRAC using Spectrogram.  You can play with this one at home.  It contains large graphics files - 400k or so of graphics - so be patient.   (After a certain Mr. Brand's urging I was really hoping to produce a difference signal, but synchronisation problems made it extremely difficult.)
 
 
 

So that's about it for now, a few other things on the back burner, but I wouldn't expect anything for a while.

However - I particularly want to know more about the Sharp and the Panasonic microphone preamplifiers.  The most important thing I want to know is the input level at which these preamplifiers clip.  If you know please email.  Also, I'm sure there are some errors, so any corrections, suggestions welcomed.
