The ST-PH1 is part of a group of products in the STICK-ON series from Radio Design Labs. The durable bottom adhesive permits quick, permanent or removable mounting nearly anywhere or it may be used with RDL’s STR-19A or STR-19B racking adapter for rack mounting! The ST-PH1 gives you the advantages of a high quality, low-noise phono preamplifier with a big plus, you can put it where you need it! The ST-PH1 is a stereophonic phono preamplifier. Each of the channel circuits is identical. The ST-PH1 has standard 47 kW impedance unbalanced phono cartridge inputs. Each output drives either a balanced or unbalanced line. Equalization follows the RIAA curve. The output is capable of driving into either high or low impedance loads. The output may be connected either balanced or unbalanced. The ST-PH1 features superior circuitry, which produces the unsurpassed pure clarity for which Radio Design Labs products are known! Some features are: · Input matched to standard cartridges used in the industry. · Impeccable audio quality. · Ultra-low distortion and noise. · Output levels adjustable (Independent adjustment for left and right channels). · Ample headroom at operating level. · Outputs short circuit protected. · Positive connections via barrier block, no audio connectors to wire. Although some equipment has phono inputs, optimum system performance is obtained when phonographs are preamplified as close to the turntable as possible, and then the line level signals are fed to the next piece of equipment in the chain.

  • ACP+: DIY Preamp and Headphone Amplifier Project
    ACP+: DIY Preamp and Headphone Amplifier Project At the first Burning Amp Festival in 2007, a young attendee, Nelson Brock and his parents Dana and Liz, displayed a nice pair of loudspeakers using the Pioneer Bofu full range drivers in Voigt enclosures. They were so well received that subsequently the Brock family hosted a DIY audio event called “Speaker Camp”, where a group of enthusiasts showed up on a weekend day and assembled a bunch of them to take home. The success of this inspired the later effort called “Amp Camp”, and I had the opportunity to design the amplifier, referred to as the Amp Camp Amp (ACA), a small single-ended Class A amplifier powered by a desktop switching supply and delivering about 5 watts. This effort was also a success, and years later the ACA kit is still popular at the diyAudio website and has also enjoyed a small upgrade in power and performance. So here we are in 2019, and the people organizing the Burning Amp Festival had the idea of joining an “audio camp” type of event to BAF, and asked me to design a preamp that would also serve to drive headphones. The result is this circuit: The gain stage for each channel resembles a miniature version of the First Watt J2 amplifier, with an input circuit using a differential pair of P channel Jfets Q1 and Q2 biased by a constant current source Jfet Q3, and driving a Common Source Mosfet Q6 which in turn is biased by Mu-Follower Q5. Q5 is controlled by opto-isolator Q4, which sets a DC voltage based on the sum of the currents through Q5 and Q6, keeping that sum constant.

  • Twin-Servo™ Microphone Preamplifier
    RADIAL 500 SERIES smart sheet TWIN-SERVO™ MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER Order No. R700 0111 10 The Jensen Twin-Servo™ utilizes Deane Jensen’s iconic 990 op-amp design to deliver the most exceptional mic preamp built in the 500 series format. The circuitry boasts two 100% discrete 990 op-amps cascaded in tandem to deliver 60dB of gain, with incredibly low noise and phase distortion, and an ultra-wide 0.2Hz-150kHz frequency response. Jensen input and output transformers provide massive amounts of headroom, with clean and transparent operation suitable for the most critical recording applications. A 21-detent gain control makes for easy session recalls, with a 10-segment LED meter for accurate signal management. 48V phantom power, a 180° polarity reverse, high-pass fi lter and -15dB pad are also provided, all with individual LED indicators to verify settings at a glance. When it comes to high performance mic preamps, nothing beats the Jensen Twin-Servo. OMNIPORT - When used with a Radial Workhorse power rack the omniport is assigned as a unbalanced 220K ohm instrument input. FEATURES 10 SEGMENT METER - Custom designed circuit for greater VU meter accuracy. • Ultra-low noise preamp with over 60dB of gain • Built in high-pass fi lter and 180° polarity reverse DUAL-GANG POT - Simultaneously controls the dual 990 op- amp topology for optimal gain at all levels. • Dual Jensen transformers for maximum head- room 180° - Inverts pins 2 and 3 at the output to help phase align microphones when two channels are in stereo use. APPLICATIONS HPF - Gentle high-pass fi lter may be inserted into the signal • Perfect for recording any source path to reduce excessive low frequency content and control • Transparent and detailed operation resonance.
