Yes there are more as you can see.

Particularly good are the 4038 ribbon mic design and the Rogers LS* loudspeaker design.

I try to be careful when I post these as I wouldn't want them to get in the hands of stupid people over at some other websites.

The engineering dept. isn't really the same now as it used to be. We out-source most of our equipment now, and don't even rely so much on British equipment anymore. Goodbye Calrec, hello Studer.

any chance someone could hook me up with a copy of this schematic? seems like the one greg posted is gone. thanks.

i wouldn't mind one, either.

I updated the link.
It is kind of messy. I would put 10k bleeder resistors between pin 2 and ground, so there isn't a pop when you plug it in to something.

thanks a bundle greg!
