I have a lot of experience with all kinds of audio gear, and I’m especially qualified to work on API, MCI, Neotek, Pye, etc. Also any wiring such as custom assemblies and adapters. I own the best audio test gear available.

Recent projects include API console, PYE compressor/Limiter, UREI LA-2, 1176, Neotek console, MCI tape machines and consoles.

I am a trade school graduate and attended engineering college, plus I have years of experience as chief engineer at a major studio, and have recorded and mixed hundreds of records.

SYNTHPLEX SHOW 2023 …

… is coming later this year. I went to the Synthplex 2022 show at Burbank airport, it was fantastic!

As the name implies there were lots of keyboards, and I don’t remember any guitars! Modular synths all over and a 360 degree round piano from Piano Arc. Check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuJH-ANHVoI .

There was even a museum of vintage synths including the ARP 2600 which I trained on years ago.

Arturia was there with keyboards and software that will imitate the Synclavier. I’d love to work on that !

It was interesting to discover that Dave Rossum invented the polyphonic keyboard and now has new products, such as the SP-1200.

See https://shop.rossum-electro.com/products/sp-1200 .

There were more ARP keyboards, I have owned or recorded the Odyssey and the Omni.

See http://alanrpearlman.com for all the details.

I heard a demo of Dolby Atmos using the KALI LP6 speakers, designed by my friend Charles Sprinkle. I got a pair in Beautiful White and they will sit near my Trusty NS-10s.

Thanks to Michael Lehmann Boddicker and his crew for creating the show 🎹

Plan to attend the next one in October 2023!

At Synthplex show in Burbank. November 2022.

Peerless K308D Transformers MC Phono SUT 4665 K-217D Altec 436 438 compressor
Here is a pair of Peerless K308 input transformers. They are in perfect shape, except one has some wear on the label but K308 can be seen. I checked with both DC and AC signals and they are working perfect. I measure the response from 15 hz to about 25Khz at the -1 dB points. Not only that but they are very well matched, like within .1dB. Really close, and a testimonial to Peerless quality control. The leads are long.

Perfect for those tube mic pres! Or for Step up trainsformer for moving coil cartridges. And these were used in the Altec 436 and 438 Compressors.

These are so rare!
