Juergen Grau has taken to Kickstarter once again to
launch and raise funds for his new analogue audio spectrum analyser which takes
the form of the Magilyzer Mk II, which builds upon previous designs and is
equipped with six EM800 TELEFUNKEN NOS Magic Eye tubes.
With pledges available from €209 or £183 the
Magilyzer Mk II is expected to start shipping out to backers during November
2018 if the crowdfunding campaign is successful and manufacturing proceeds
without any hiccups.
The creator of the new analogue audio spectrum
analyser explains more about its features and design. “The Magilyzer is an
analog audio spectrum analyzer, based around the Rohm BA3830 analyzer chip. It
offers the display of 6 selective audio bands: 63 Hz, 150 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz,
3.3 kHz and 10 kHz. The Magilyzer operates with six Magic Eye tubes and has RCA
stereo line in- and output (for easy daisy chaining the device within an
existing audio path) with level control incl. selection of the displayed
channel (right, both, left), build in microphone with an audio mixer to add the
microphone signal to the display or for using the Magilyzer as a stand-alone
device when no audio source is connected. The RGB colour and brightness of the
tube illumination can be adjusted with sliders according to your favourite
colour.”
