New Developments in the (Skunk) Works:

preamp
We thought it was time for a microphone preamp. But mic preamps bore us. We assume they bore you also at this point. Crowded market. So we kept reworking a basic push-pull circuit until it wasn’t boring anymore.
More later. Early flight tests are very encouraging.
Also, a mono compressor built to 660 spec is on it’s way!
Board layouts are done. Just have to build ‘er.

Weighing in at 44 pounds,
the Tube Equipment Corporation Model SR-71 Blackbird is a Dynamic Mu™ stereo compressor/limiter using the original Fairchild 670 design with modern components. It has compression character highly reminiscent of the 670 with flatter high frequency response owing to Sowter Mumetal-core input transformers, which we really like. It also employs faster release times for modern percussive material, output controls, the "DC Threshold" (Ratio) control relocated to the main panel and a true hardwire bypass. These enhancements, we feel, provide a more versatile product.
With twin 15 watt tube amps driving the sidechains, much like both the venerable 670 and SR-71's renown Mach III aviation namesake, it's very fast.


SR-71 Aircraft: Mach 3.3
SR-71 Compressor: .5ms attack time (setting 1)
