966 Voltage Source


The Behringer CP35 module is hungry for rack space (21HP !) and a lot of people only want it for the 6V voltage references.

So, from an idea by LEK Productions, here is a compact (4HP) module containing just +6V and -6V voltage references.

Three different build options are available depending on how accurate you want the reference voltages to be.

Old Mahogany..

The cabinets for my eurorack "moog modular" are made of antique mahogany salvaged from old furniture.


 

My latest cabinet was made from a victorian dressing table, however this was itself a conversion  from something earlier. Here's the top of the cabinet above:

 The inscription reads:
                                       John Broadwood and Sons
                         Maufacturers to his Majesty and the Princesses
                        Great Pulteney Street   London   Golden Square 
 
Google "John Broadwood and Sons" to identify the original object !

I would date it as after 1808, as before 1808 it was "John Broadwood and Son" (singular), This probably makes "his majesty" either George III, George IV, or  William IV.
