Hello Paul,

What is the current situation with ldr/remote boards?
I would like to purchase a set of completed/tested boards together with anything else you can supply to minimise the completion time. A full kit would be ideal, but I understand your agreement with George.

Thank you,
Dan.

Hi Paul,

I was also wondering if you still have completed boards available for your LDR volume control.

Thank you,

Mas

Hello Dan and Mas,

I still have boards for the project and can provide the modules. Prices are still the same although shipping costs have increased a little since I posted the prices. Current lead time is around 25 to 30 working days for the modules. Let me know what you want and the destination and I will give you the modules cost plus the shipping cost.

Regards
Paul

Hello Paul,

I would like to get all three boards, built and tested, with the low noise regulators.  Is it possible to fit the remote control to replace the  volume and balance pots on an existing LDR volume control?  I am in Los Angeles CA  USA>

Thank you,

Mas

Hello Mas,

The VCCS was designed to control George’s Lightspeed configuration of LDR’s although it can be set up to control other configurations as well. Control functions are L&R volume up, L&R volume down and L trim, R trim for balance control. These are push button controls and they can also be replicated on the preamp chassis working in parallel with the remote control receiver module if required. Let me know how your LDR’s are configured and I will assess compatibility.

The cost of the built and tested modules :-

VCCS voltage controlled current source module   £60
IRTR transmitter and receiver modules                  £49.60
3 off low noise regulator modules                           £96
Insured carriage and packing to Los Angeles          £14.40
Total                                                                       £220

Paypal payment add 3.4% and bank transfer payment add £6 bank processing fee.

Lead time is approx 25 to 30 working days for these modules.

Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,

I have Uriah's Lighter Note attenuator, but I would like your's as well to see which sounds better.  Is it possible to use your remote for both?

Thanks,

Hey Paul,

Interested in a setup, have Uriahs boards sans powersupply section so have matched LDR'S, am in Australia, what are your thoughts re requirements please?

Thanks,

Drew.

[Paul Hynes]

Mas,

I am not familiar with Uriah’s control circuitry for the lighter note so cannot say whether the remote control modules will interface with it. The remote control transmitter and receiver modules were specifically designed to drive the VCCS (Voltage Controlled Current Source) module, which drives the LDR LEDs directly.

Drew,

The VCCS module has provision for fitting the LDRs on board. It doesn’t need Uriah’s boards to operate as a volume/balance control.

Hi Paul,

What is the range of the current output from your vccs?

Thanks.

Hi Chai Soon,

The VCCS current output can be set to suit the required range of operation of the LDR, by changing the current setting resistors. The maximum available current is 20ma per current source.

Hey Paul,

Appreciate the reply, can you advise if this will go to silent? Does it have mute functionality?
Just trying to get my head around it.

Thanks,

Drew.

PM sent.

[Paul Hynes]

Hi Drew,

In my system the volume control reduces to silence, but in other systems it will depend on the loudspeaker sensitivity and amplifier voltage gain whether the minimum setting is audible. High sensitivity loudspeakers and high gain amplifier would be the worst case scenario for any audible residual signal at minimum volume.

There is no mute function active on the VCCS module as the remote control chip only has 4 channels.

What would be the prices for the 3 PCB's plus all the required components? I understand that the LDR's have to be gotten from buildanamp.

I reside in Singapore.

Thanks.

[Paul Hynes]

Hello escutcheon,

3 PCB’s and all components will cost £83. Insured carriage and packing to Singapore will cost £14.

Regards
Paul

Hello,
I am the proud owner of a virtue sensation m901. It has a motorized 20k pot. Just wondering if it would be possible and have benefits to replace it with the LDR volume control.
Sincere greetings, Edward
