Hudson Electronics Ariel Posen Broadcast-AP *Free Shipping in the USA*
In the words of Hudson Electronics:
At the heart of the Broadcast-AP – as the name may suggest – is the same circuitry as the Broadcast. A class-A discrete, transformer-coupled circuit, designed to saturate
in a unique way reminiscent of certain recording and broadcast
consoles.
We took the low-gain side of the standard Broadcast as the starting point. Together, Ariel and I
exchanged the Germanium transistor for a Silicon and used an OEP
transformer – the OEP transformer saturates and distorts less below
100Hz compared to the Triad transformer used in the standard Broadcast.
These two changes together give the Broadcast-AP a darker, smoother,
more powerful tone compared to the standard version. Greater weight in
the lows, whilst retaining the open highs and upper-mids, giving the
Broadcast a ‘3D’ effect.
