Connecting Pleiades V4 directly to the radio


This is on an attempt to see how the sound of the amplified voice sounds live in the room. It may be useful as an echo chamber effect when recording the sound output of the same mic as described on a previous euroelectron post.


It is nice as one hears his her real voice directly from mouth to ears. And at the same time the amplified voice in the room.


So it is an artificial double tracking effect.


In fact singing to a long tube of say half inch, one end near to mouth and the other near to ear gives an amazing ADT sound. Why should it not , it is a pure analog acoustic delay and no electronics involved.


Reproduction from the radio leaved something to be desired. There was some boxiness to the sound as might have been expected. Then a small speaker was connected to the radio amplifier and the speaker was on its own without even a baffle. The sound was better, boxiness out.


Setup, signal path:


Room - Male voice at 1in - Beyer M55 - Canforrd stepup transformer - Pleiades V4 - 70's JVC Nivico radio 9425W at AUX in - Room


Next step may be to connect a Pleiades V4 directly to a power amp operating in class A (electrons flowing all the time) such as the Pleiades power amplifier.
