We could fill this small space left available by the product’s enormous brand plus model name in talking merely about the needle displays, or the best-looking volume control we’ve ever seen (black surround and copper-coloured inlay, and actually a ro

NAD has used CES in Las Vegas to announce its first product to feature a new Class-D amplifier technology called HybridDigital Purifi ‘Eigentakt’ (which means ‘self-clocking’ or ‘self-oscillating’), developed in collaboration with Danish amplifier mo

The BBC Micro Bit project we will share with you this issue is more complex than the previous ones. This time we will explore the use of micro DC motors controlled by the Micro Bit and build a four-wheel cardboard robot controlled by a smartphone. To

Last time, we discussed the hardware and design of a new KISS modem developed by Nino Carrillo, KK4HEJ. Keeping with that theme, this month we’ll take a closer look at some of the practical aspects of actually putting a packet link on the air, along

Canada is mining a rich seam of hi-fi lately. Like fellow brand Paradigm (see p64), Anthem may be best known for its pedigree multi-channel components in home theatre circles, but increasingly two-channel hi-fi purists are singing its praises. At £5,

The PA 1100 E’s Class D amplifier bests its rated 140W with 2x160W/8ohm and 2x265W/4ohm while, under dynamic conditions, there’s headroom to service peaks of 215W, 415W and 720W into 8, 4 and 2ohm loads with protection limiting output to 405W into 1o

Drawing inspiration from its legendary FT-101 and in memory of its founder, Sako Hasegawa, JA1MP, Yaesu introduced the FTDX-101MP transceiver at the 2019 Dayton Hamvention®. The FTDX-101MP is the top of the line for FTDX-101 series of transceivers an

In a society that’s always on the move — be it as simple as puttering in the backyard or as exotic as a DXpedition (or anything in between) — there’s been an increasing demand to have the ability to utilize our ham shacks while away from home. In the

My favorite activity in amateur radio is looking for really weak signals. For me, the real romance of ham radio is not to be found in full-quieting, broadcast-quality FM, as useful as that is. I do ham radio well off the beaten path … I always have,

The most powerful stereo amp to date from an iconic hi-fi maker, the MC462 delivers 450 watts of power to any loudspeaker. The chunky McIntosh look is intact: green details, black body and a silver finish match the brand’s other gear. Dynamic headroo

The Earth may not be flat, but the web certainly is. “There is no ‘top’ to the World-Wide Web,” declared a 1992 foundational document from the World Wide Web Consortium—meaning that there is no central server or organizational authority to determine

Chips are made up of transistors, which are made up of gates which open and close to create the 1s and 0s PCs need to function. That switching, though fast, isn’t instant, and there’s a moment as it switches that the transistor acts as a resistor. Th

A well-known design guru in the amp and speaker manufacturing industry, Dave Green moved down from the north of England to Essex around 15 years ago to work for bass amp legends Ashdown Music, and he’s been there ever since, helping to create some of

There are plenty of ready-to-go pedal kits out there but something as simple as a vintage-style fuzzbox can be built from scratch. Doing so will help you learn more about the circuitry, as well as make modifications to optimise its tone and versatili

Pedalboard amps have been all the rage in recent years and, in an age where the vast majority of us don’t have the ability to play out, the need to keep quiet at home is more important than ever. Launched at NAMM 2020, Orange’s Terror Stamp offers a
