MOTM 650 Stuffing



Ever wanted to see how a PCB was made? Here's a video of the MOTM 650 from start to finish. MOTM's Paul Schreiber sent a link to the video to the AH list. I asked if I could put it up and he gave me the all clear. You can find more info on the MOTM 650 here.

Update: The person in the video is Pat McGarrity. He is the owner of the pcb shop. Paul Schreiber is the one taking the video. The pcb shown is actually 4 MOTM-650 CPU cards, that are in a 2x2 array. Once soldered, they are snapped apart.

  1. So it's all out sourced now? I wonder if there's much of a difference in the sound of surface mount stuff vs. those chunky old style parts.

    I'd guess that the surface mount has tighter tolerances, only because of the machines doing the soldering.

    One thing that I find odd is those Cwejman modules -- I hear a lot of something that sounds like 'bleed' and 'crosstalk' in them. Maybe it's the samples I heard, maybe not.

    Anyone have an opinion on this?

    Where did you hear them samples?

  4. The MOTM 650 produces no sound, only control voltages, so the question of how it sounds is moot.
