DIY AUDIO PROJECTS - Do-It-Yourself Hi-Fi for Audiophiles

Elliott Sound Products - The Audio Pages (Main Index) Pages Last Updated March 2014 Welcome to ESP, the home of DIY audio articles, projects and shortform kits. Audio is a wonderful hobby, and with DIY there is a huge scope to get the very best performance for a lot less money than otherwise. DIY audio is fun and educational, and by building your own audio equipment, you get to learn electronics as well as build equipment that would cost a great deal more in the shops. ESP is committed to providing high quality projects that are known to work, printed circuit boards (PCBs) for the most popular projects, and to assist you if necessary to complete or debug your project.

Hi-fi DIY - Building your own hi-fi equipment If you look at the prices charged for an off-the-shelf metal case of suitable dimensions to house domestic hi-fi, you will see that they don't come cheaply. Ask for a quote on having something built to your specifications and you are liable to become quite despondent. And that's if the supplier even agrees to do a 'one-off' for you. So if you are on a tight budget, the casework is going to be up to you to produce. - there's another solution which won't break the bank. You may have to pay a small price for a piece of defunct hi-fi or you may be lucky and get it for nothing.

Free Diagrams, Schematics and Service Manuals Georg Neumann GmbH - Products/Current Microphones/KU 100/Description The KU 100 dummy head is a binaural stereo microphone. It resembles the human head and has two microphone capsules built into the ears. When listening through high-quality headphones it gives the illusion of being right at the scene of the acoustic events. When using the KU 100 dummy head, the binaural stereo experience moves the listener into the scene of the original performance, in contrast to other space-related recording techniques, where the acoustic event is moved to the listener. The dummy head is also used in many industrial applications as a measuring device, for example in acoustic research. At the bottom of the unit is a switch for the different power supply modes, as well as connectors for balanced and unbalanced output signals. The idea The KU 100 dummy head is a replica of the human head with a microphone built into each ear. When played back through loudspeakers, the sound matches to a high degree that of conventional stereo microphones, placed in the same position.

5 Secrets Of Long-Distance Relationships If given the choice, we’re pretty sure no one would pick to be in a long distance relationship. Some say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but we’re calling bullsh*t on that one: being apart from the person you love is hard. And to make it work - and keep it a healthy, functional and sexual, you have to put in time, commitment and well, get a little creative. The good news is you're not alone. Over 14 million couples define themselves as being in long-distance relationships. If you're a college student, the numbers are even higher: about a third of college relationships are long-distance relationships, and 70% of college students have been in a long-distance relationship at some point. The other good news is that some studies actually suggest that long-distance couples feel more love for each other than those that are geographically close, and even idealize their partners more. Here’s how to make sure you stay connected, regardless of how many miles or oceans separate you.
