It is an attempt to explain the basic secrets of music, acoustics, electro acoustics, phychoacoustics, electronic engineering or electronics, electronic preamplifier construction, physics principles, sound engineering. In the fewest words possible and perhaps in the form of a fairytale.
The basic characters are. Canelina the cat. Her friend the impatient tortoise. The wise seagulls. The wise girl.
The aim is to aid anyone interested, of any age, to get hands on aproach to electronic preamplifier constructing, signsl transformer constructing etc.
Decades ago it was much common for people to make their own small radios, amplifiers, loudspeakers etc. Technology has gone so far where everything is hidden inside a microchip.
Nature or physics has not changed yet and top artists like Madona use microphones like the Neumann U47 hand made more than 50 years ago, with descrete components and class A amplifiers (electrons flowing all the time). Now we know after digital becoming mainstream after the 80's that the nature of human auditory perception needs those circuits that have the remarkable property of fitting something very big (the music signal) to something very small (a smart phone reproducing through its tiny speaker). As of 2018 it is unthinkable to have a music production that the signal has not passed at any point through electron types, descrete class A JFETs etc.
The best bread is made from the best ingredients, the best flour and is hand made.
How are microphone preamplifiers made? It is not such a mystery but we have been many years far from making them at home. Making them by our hands like the likes of producer Phil Ramone did. The basic ingredients are fancy color resistors, nice color capacitors, shiny glass electron tubes, color coded cables, and a colorful or pure sound quality that can play at studio or broadcasting quality and make all senses proud.
