New 500-series modules from Buzz Audio...
From the original Analog Industries archive. Some links and images from that era no longer resolve.
New Zealand’s Buzz Audio has some nice stuff in the pipeline. Click the image for a larger pic. The Elixer mic pre fits in API-sized slots, and is a class A/Lundahl design based on their excellent MA-2.2 mic pre. $695 a throw, which puts it right in line with almost every other 500-sized mic pre. (I don’t believe there are any other 500-sized pres with a transformerless input stage, so this is definitely a new flavor for that form factor.)
On the right is the Essence compressor, one of the very few non-API compressors in this form factor. It is, as you can plainly see, 2U wide, which kind of blows considering the price-per-slot of 500 racks. Not much info about this one yet, but the price is probably going to be in the $800 to $850 range.
