Audio Design

Audio Design

Miscellaneous audio-design work not tied directly to the Electrocompaniet history: the school amplifier project, cooling-fin calculations, the AES paper on AB distortion, later prototypes, and other designs.

Ported from Legacy/: the School Amplifier, the ultimate cooling fins, the AES paper on AB distortion, the May ‘78 preamplifier, later designs (the 1982 preamplifier and power amplifier prototypes), other designs (including the “Krinken” preamplifier for NRK), and the Perfect 25W Amplifier design notes.

Two things worth flagging from the source material:

  • Legacy/abdist.md looked like the AES paper page, but its actual content was just a generic “site under reconstruction” placeholder — the real scans lived at Legacy/wiki/ABDist.md instead, which is what got ported.
  • The cooling-fins overview photo (CoolingFin1.jpg) is referenced by the old page but was never found in the archive — only the close-up shot survived.
