 | Neve Mystery modules - 2084 -PICS I grabbed a pair of Neve 2084 modules as it had some parts I needed...and the pair of modules was cheaper than the parts themselves. Got a pair of LO1166 output trannies, a pair of 10468 inputs, 2 283AV cards and 4 connectors. The modules were had a switch with 2 positions: 6.7kHz Optical and 8.5kHz Magnetic. From my limited knowledge of cinematic electronics I'm sure these were associated with those two formats, can anyone out there tell me what they were for? LPF's or notch EQ at those frequencies? Also inside besides the parts I wanted was another 283-sized board, marked B357. On it are a bunch of components and a couple smaller boards marked B306. I've already torn these apart, just wanted some background info on whatever they were used for or what the mystery board is. Thanks!! |

That's a rare one... so rare that at this time of night after a long day I am straining the memory cells to remember the proper title of the module. It was used on film consoles of which Neve made custom consoles for Pinewood, Shepperton and Twickenham Studios (the last one was A676) and I believe the module simulated the restricted frequency response of the two sound source mediums you mention so that they could get a fair idea how the clean signal would sound after it was striped on to the film. I'm afraid that's not the best of answers I could come up with but as you can imagine, with so few film console made, there would not be a lot of those modules! It dates from around 1972/3.

BA306's (and 406's for that matter) are dual buffer amplifiers used in 1081, 3114, 31105, etc., to provide for the switchable high pass/low pass circuitry. The B357 is simply a motherboard to mount the 306's on and I suspect that the circuit is just matched to the restricted response that you'd get on optical and magnetic film stripes. 6.7KHz on the optical bandwidth? Those were the days! Not really needed in these days of Dolby digital surround sound!

You're welcome.... I'd award myself an ice blended caramel from the Coffee Bean if I could remember the bloomin' name of the module! It's on the tip of my tongue... PS I just noticed that your module has an 8 POLE Pye TMC key switch... they are as rare as chicken's teeth and are used on some big consoles (8058/68?) monitor panels for source switching. When they break you are stuffed because that size was hard to get when I worked at Neve! Hang on to that switch!
