Das Interesse an Röhrenschaltungen ist wach... Gerade im Audiosektor gibt es nach wie vor eine beträchtliche Gruppe ernstzunehmender Fachleute (darunter viele Musiker), die von der klanglichen Überlegenheit neuer und auch alter Röhrentechnologie überzeugt sind. Röhrenverstärker – chromblitzende, z.T. äußerlich ungewöhnlich gestylte Geräte, in denen nicht nur viel elektronisches, mindestens genauso viel handwerkliches Know How steckt – sind für sie "State of the Art" der Klangreproduktion. Wer's nicht glaubt: ein Gang über diverse Audio-Messen ("High-End") überzeugt; sowohl einige der renommierten Großanbieter deutscher, amerikanischer und japanischer Provinienz als auch kleine (aber feine) Firmen bieten Röhrenverstärker. Exzellente, in Handarbeit gefertigte Geräte, seien optisch und klanglich, davon sind Röhrenanhänger fest überzeugt, selbst durch transistorisierte "High-Ender" nun einmal nicht zu schlagen. Alles hat seine Geschichte... Die Grundlagen moderner Reproduktionstechnik, das gilt für beide Verstärkertypen gleichermaßen, reichen mittlerweile rund sechzig bis siebzig Jahre zurück in die Zeit, als die Entwicklung und der Einsatz der ersten Kinoverstärker mit dem Aufkommen des Tonfilms realisiert wurden. Wichtige Impulse gab dabei die Vervollkommnung der Aufnahme- und Wiedergabewandler für die Verstärker, die möglichst verzerrungsarm (oder besser das, was man damals darunter verstand) ein relativ breites Frequenzband verarbeiten mussten. Auf der Suche nach Perfektion waren die 40er- und 50er-Jahre besonders bedeutsam: in dieser Zeit wurden Forderungen formuliert und Standards gesetzt, auf denen letztlich unsere modernen Qualitätsanforderungen im Audiobereich basieren. Dieses Buch wirft einen Blick mit den Schwerpunkten Erfindung der Elektronenröhre Entwicklung der Röhren-Audiotechnik und einer kommentierten Schaltungsdokumentation auf eben diese Geschichte der Reproduktionstechnik in der Röhrenära.

Dieses Buch enthält eine Sammlung von Artikeln aus der Zeitschrift Elektor zum Thema „Audiotechnik". Die vorgestellten Schaltungen beschäftigen sich nicht nur mit der Klangwiedergabe, sondern beginnen dort, wo hörenswerte Aufnahmen ihren Ursprung haben: beim bezahlbaren und anspruchsvollen Mikrofon-Vorverstärker. Es folgen u. a. Endstufen, Ergänzungen zu Soundkarten und nicht zuletzt Boxen-Bauvorschläge. Dabei kommt die Theorie nur soweit zu Wort, wie sie für das Verständnis erforderlich ist. Schnell folgt alles, was zur Verwirklichung der Idee notwendig ist: genaue Baupläne mit Platinenlayout, Stückliste und Bestückungsplan, Aufbauanleitung, Beschaffungshinweise für schwer erhältliche Bauteile, Abgleichhinweise usw. Ein Leistungsverstärker, der genügend Power für Veranstaltungssäle, Diskos und Theater bietet, rundet das Angebot ab. Um die Bauvorhaben erfolgreich zu realisieren, sollten einige Grundkenntnisse im Aufbau elektronischer Schaltungen und – noch wichtiger – etwas Übung im praktischen Aufbau und im Löten vorhanden sein.

The short-wave technique has a very particular appeal: It can easily bridge long distances. By reflecting short-wave signals off the conductive layers of the ionosphere, they can be received in places beyond the horizon and therefore can reach anywhere on earth. Although technology is striving for ever higher frequencies, and radio is usually listened to on FM, DAB+, satellite or the Internet, modern means of transmission require extensive infrastructure and are extremely vulnerable. In the event of a global power outage, there is nothing more important than the short-wave. Amateur radio is not only a hobby, it’s also an emergency radio system! Elektor’s SDR-Shield is a versatile shortwave receiver up to 30 MHz. Using an Arduino and the appropriate software, radio stations, morse signals, SSB stations, and digital signals can be received. In this book, successful author and enthusiastic radio amateur, Burkhard Kainka describes the modern practice of software defined radio using the Elektor SDR Shield. He not only imparts a theoretical background but also explains numerous open source software tools.

The nRSP-ST is a networked general coverage radio receiver for frequencies from 1 kHz to 2 GHz with up to 10 MHz of spectrum visibility. The nRSP-ST is your own personal remotely accessible SDR which can also be shared with a small number of trusted friends or colleagues. The nRSP-ST addresses the needs of radio enthusiasts who want a 'plug-and-play' solution for remote reception. As well as achieving this, we have addressed typical internet bandwidth limitations with the creation of a novel IQ Lite mode, which efficiently delivers channels of IQ data. We are also introducing the ability to control and store IQ recordings at the remote location. The nRSP-ST is ideal for anyone wanting a wideband remote receiver without needing computer skills and hours of set-up time and ongoing maintenance at the remote location. Features "Plug and play" integrated, networked general coverage receiver: Combines a receiver, a host computer and a whole lot more – all in one box! Apply power and connect to the internet (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and the nRSP-ST is automatically accessible from anywhere Multi-platform SDRconnectTM software supports local operation or remote access on Windows, MacOS or Linux platforms The nRSP-ST & SDRconnect are configurable for available network bandwidth: In Full IQ mode, the nRSP-ST provides IQ data transfer of the visible spectrum bandwidth (e.g. for high-speed LAN or superfast internet connectivity) In IQ Lite mode, the nRSP-ST provides IQ data of channels up to 192 kHz wide (e.g. for digital decoding by the client) In Compact mode the nRSP-ST provides compressed audio (ideal for slower internet connections) Supports multiple client connections with a simultaneous mixture of connection modes – an admin tool allows you to assign usernames and timeouts to trusted friends or colleagues. All modes support visualization of up to 10 MHz spectrum bandwidth Two remote connection options: Use a remote SDRconnect client or Use the built-in web-server for remote access from any web browsing capable device, including Android/iOS tablets and phones The nRSP-ST offers the ability to record IQ and audio files to a NAS (network attached storage) device if available on the LAN.

The minimalist design and the spring loaded test needle makes it possible to simultaneously measure on fine pitch components and nearby signals. The probe is steady but yet flexible made for instant measurements or total hands-free operations together with your multimeter, logic analyzer or preferred tool. The dual pin header connector fits directly on a 2.54 mm (0.100”) connector. The SP10 comes with a powerful magnet in the base, as for all PCBite probes and holders which makes the probe easy to place and reposition. Included 4x PCBite holder 1x Large base plate (A4) 4x PCBite probe with pin tipped test needle 4x Extra crown tipped test needle 1x Set of yellow insulation washers 5x Dupont to dupont test wire 2x Banana to dupont test wire 1x Microfiber cloth Downloads User Guide

The PCBite Magnifier (premium build quality made from CNC machined aluminum) enlarges your target and makes it easier to see during soldering, inspection and measurements. Especially useful when placing PCBite hands free probes on fine pitch SMD components during measurements. 3x magnification edgeless lens for increased visibility of the work surface and AR coating (anti-reflection) to reduce reflections from nearby light sources. Optimized design, magnification and focal point for use together with the PCBite PCB holders and baseplates included in all PCBite kits. Can also be used handheld but not standalone without a metal surface as base. At the bottom of the magnifier foot there is a strong magnet perfectly balanced in strength. A low friction bottom cap protects the magnet and the baseplate to make the magnifier easy to slide when repositioning or removing the magnifier from the baseplate. Friction based adjustment of lens tilt and rotate positions takes away the need for annoying and complicated set screws.

Components are both shrinking and getting increasingly finer pitch year after year but your PCBs might have grown in size or the number of interconnected PCBs or the number of handsfree PCBite probes needed to test your design may have increased making it crowded on our other smaller base plates. Features With a size of 297 x 420 mm (DIN A3) the extra large baseplate has room for most PCBs and many handsfree PCBite probes for those measurements sessions where more channels than available is needed. So if you are looking for more space, extra protection or just want to clean up your work surface then this accessory is a perfect match. Designed to be used with Sensepeeks magnetic PCBite line of products including PCB holders, hands free probes and magnifier. Included 1x XL base plate (DIN A3) with pre-fitted insulation cover
