wait!... do you have 4 of the DIY versions?  Did I miss the pcb sale or are you talking about original 2254's?

 

[rascalseven]

No, I'm just saying I want four 2254C boards when they become available.  Four channels would be loverly for tracking drums!

Didn't Igor say he was still working on this...till it was 100%?>

 

[rascalseven]

Yeah, he did.  I just figure checking in every month or so to see if it was still on the table is okay.  He might be busy with other stuff at the moment.

[Igor]

It is ready, tested and working.
Now, updating BOM and documentation.

For sneak preview,

sick!

I love the ever present pipe in Igor's pictures.

 

[alexc]

Man that looks excellent  This one is going to be some serious fun

Great stuff Igor - us lesser mortals can only thank our lucky stars
for opportunities to build such as these pcbs.

Best regards

 

[rascalseven]

Beautiful stuff!

Looking forward to it!

;D

[EEMO1]

looking good. im in on one of those!

 

[MikoKensington]

Top Notch!  I think I'll need to make a pair, too.  Thanks for sharing your hard work.  Cheers.

Hi Igor,
This is fantastic!
You can count me in for a pair.

So, each board is a mono unit and I should order two to build a stereo unit?  I see two transformers on the board in the picture, but doesn't each channel of a 2254 have 3 audio transformers (input, interstage, output)?

 

[Igor]

Output trafo is Big Gapped Eilor Hi-B C-Core Momma, see photos.
Yes, this unit using 3 trunny's, btw, original 2254 has 4 (one 31267 used in limiter sidechain detector).
Instead of limiter, I prefer sidechain HPF option...here it is. Pure benefit trafosaving-wise.

Yes, 2 boards for stereo.
Please!!!! a bit of patience, I will post all schemos, explanations, etc. within few days.

 

[juniorhifikit]

Cool!  Can't wait  ;D

 

[solderspongebob]

Will you be posting PCB layout for us home etchers, or does this need a PTH double-sided board?

[EDIT] I've just noticed the faint outline of tracks on the topside of the pcb so I think this is not a home etch!

 

[Igor]

Hi people, here's schematic and pcb comp placement:

BOM and support thread coming soon, if there's more than 20 people interested.

PCB's cost for single channel will be arround EUR50, stereo set with power supply EUR90.
PCB's are dual sided, excellent quality, as allways.
Price include shipping. If there's more than 100 PCB's, price drops significantly.

I can offer kits, with all the parts except transformers, XLR's and case.
Price depending on quantity, but in case there's 20 kits, it will come up less
than order parts by yourself from different suppliers, count in headache and time to order everything.

If you're interested in pcb's/kits, please write here.
