There’s a lot to say about this Nu-XR-Spectra pair than its gorgeous looks. The Nu-Multi is multichannel. If you want mono, use a mono pickup. There’s a reason why we no longer make a mixer for summing the outputs to mono. The broadband noise levels (hiss) accumulates for every channel that you add. For high …

January 2022… I was looking back at the roadmap I presented in 2018. We’ve come a long way since then. Some plans were adhered to, some not. The Modula pickup did not make the cut. Instead, we had a complete redesign, and continued on with XR-Spectra: following the lineage of the original XR pickup as …
Finally, we’re shipping the first batch of XR-Spectras. The second batch is pending production, as we wait for new circuit boards to arrive. Don’t miss out on the OEM pricing. The second batch will still have the original OEM pricing as listed, following this link. For further details, have a look at the XR-Spectra User’s …
This global shortage of semiconductors is hurting us! I was hoping it will end soon, but it’s getting worse. Now, we have supply problems with ALL semiconductors in our products, and I have to redesign around the problem with alternative chips, whenever possible. Or, find alternative sources. We hit a snag last month with the …
We make simple things extra spacial. Here’s the completely redesigned Tone Block. Follow the XR-Spectra reference manual for more information (check out the Tone Block section). Available with the active XR Spectra configuration, the optional Tone Block is a small passive second-order (two-pole) resonant RLC filter with variable frequency and Q (resonance). It is specifically …
Busy! The XR-Spectra is now in production. Again, a big and special thank you to all early adopters who preordered the XR-Spectra on the first batch. If you are contemplating on ordering, now is the last chance to avail of the preorder discount (currently at OEM pricing!). See Pricing and Availability. After a rough start, …
Here’s a post about XR-Spectra’s passive mode. The XR-Spectra pickup can be configured as passive (no electronics, no batteries) by replacing the Preamp board (installed by default underneath the pickup), with the Passive board (also included).
Sometimes you just have to go back to the drawing board, errmm, chopping board, when things are not exactly just right. I’m not sure if I am the only one who ever attempted a dual mode, passive/active, pickup configuration. There it is side by side with the Modula prototype for A/B tonal comparison at the …
