Analog returns to TapeOpCon

Via Peter Grenader:

"Electro-Acoustic Research has been invited to return to Tape Op Magazine's annual TapeOpCon convention at the Hilton El Conquistador Resort in Tucson from June 8 to June 10. Plan B Products will again be on display and awaiting your enquiring tweaks. And due to it's popularity in 2006, another Analog Synthesis symposium is scheduled, this year with Alessandro Cortini of Nine Inch Nails, Dave Wright of Not Breathing and EAR's Peter Grenader. Equipment will include the EAR Performance System, Dave Wright's monster modular, a Buchla 200e and a huge array of Plan B products. The panel discussion will be held at the El Conquistador Resort on Sunday from 10 to 12 which will include live demo's, a performance, an open discussion on the renaissance of analog synthesis and plenty of audience hands-on ops. Make sure to arrive early as seats filled up quickly in 2006.

  3. I'm a bit confused about Plan B. I thought it was said that they would have in stock (I presume with Analogue Haven) all the new stuff they showed at NAMM within one month. There's been no news of any kind on their yahoo group...

  4. RIchard -

    there are announcements all over the place on the Model 26 - the first from Namm being released. On the yahoo group, on the EAR site, etc.

    The info that was posted is accurate - the demo production model of the M26 is at Analogue Haven, the first lot of 15 units to them will there a couple of days after we receive the production run of the faceplates (due to ship this week). Scheiders is also getting three of these.

    So, we got it out in 10 weeks. As far as the month committment you mentioned. I mentioned we would start the production within a month, which we did. Small company here (2.2 guys!) - we can only release one product a a time and this is the first one. They are all following now in a regular production cycle, along with a new one no one knows about.

    thanks for your inquiry,

  5. I hit send too eaerly, my apologies. Let me continue:

    Starting a production process means first designing the printed circuit board art, then finalizing the faceplate art, ordering components for a first run, including PCBs and faceplates. The new products shown at Namm were all on vectorboard, nothing was even at the PCB design stage yet.
