*** VOODOO CREW WORLD NEWS *** 
Update: Spoke with Mike and its prolly gonna be a external box containing the card. Ie, no soldering needed but simply unplug the SDX DSP cables and put into cables going to the box. It will be located at the front of the rig using a switch between 4.2 and 6.7kc bandwidth. Now I am awaiting the prototype card to test, lots people have showed interest in this wich is PHUN! Update: Now the SDXCC is ready, look at the pic above! Price will be around $500 USD for it and lots people allready lining up to get 6.7kc awesome voodoo audio. Get in touch with Mike for yours. Look at Mikes webpage about the SDXCC and listen to the amazing recordings!! Update 20090919: Mike has stopped making the SDXCC units because a secret menu setting has been found on the SDX after +20 years! Read about it on his webpage howto get 6.7kc bandwidth using this... |
I have decided to quit HF after 30 years and will now concentrate on VHF and up instead. Almost all of my HF gear is sold and listed at my FOR SALE page. If you are interested in something left, just email me... 73's de Peter / SM5HUA |
Welcome to SM5HUA's ugly webpage! This is my simple webpage (made in linux - micro$oft >/dev/null ) were I will put some info about the audio equipment and my subsonic experiences. I am also honored being a member of the WZ5Q's voodoo crew - go have a look at the BIG BOYZ "over there" if you have the balls :) If you are interested in lightning, have a look at my tracker: StormTracker.se Some more hamradio pics of me at the Harvey Radio Labs site I made a few years ago. About my audio preferences. I enjoy a smooth sounding audio, well balanced with lots clarity, distinctive clear lows, plenty of sub harmonics and pleasant to listen at. Getting the audio sound the way I want takes lots of time, costs $$$, requires total devotion and makes you close to insanity at times... Without the help and guidance of Mike WZ5Q I wouldn't be were I am today. All my audio gear is modified by him and it has taken me close to a year building the tube racks. Using the voodoo modified Kenwood TS-950SDX with its warm soft audio is a must, *nothing* beats it. If you are interested in well sounding voodoo essb, take a look at Mikes webpage and listen to the crew members. Lots of voodoo modifications there you can use to improve different rigs. Mike make the mods for those seriously interested in getting da special voodoo sound - get in touch with him and ask for prices. If you want to start with essb, there is at least 3 levels to choose from. Been there - done them all in 1.5 year :) 1: Get a Electrovoice RE20 and W2IHY equalizer & EQ-Plus and modify it. (MOD1, MOD2) Rig the Kenwood TS-870S. 2: Use Behringer gear and experience the next level of audio. Rig preferably Kenwood TS-850/DSP100 or TS-950SDX. 3: Go tube and get Bellari and HHB for that smooth silky sound and use a Kenwood TS-950SDX, all voodoo modified. Most important - HAVE PHUN! Experiment, accept not all hams like what you do, try finding those who does and stick with them. Getting your audio well sounding is probably THE most difficult thing you ever will experience in hamradio. Its a true challenge. Ask for help among us audio nuts and one day you will be sounding the way you want. 73's de Peter / SM5HUA <email> (The EU-directive 2004/108/EG about QRM to hamradio is HERE in Swedish, read under paragraph 2) |

| Found a mint
condition Yaesu FT-225RD with the memory option installed, and also the
very
sought after MuTek front-end for it. So now I have 2
top-notch VHF rigs for the future EME project, feels great! |
| After lots tweaking I finally managed to push the 950SDX to
a new record 5.1kc bandwidth! Made a new recording and graphs
showing this. Cant wait until I get the prototype SDXCC from Mike
to to run 6.7kc |
| The new SDX #4 arrived from Mike and it sounds
fantastic!
Sold the other SDX #2 to my friend Benny SA0ANX
so now we are 2 voodoo crew members in Europe using these extreme
machines by Voodoo-Labs. |
| Got my Signal/One Milspec 1030 from USA, what a radio it
is! Had a CX-7A back in the 70'ies, great radios and the best
there is. More pics here, also have a
look at the Signal/One
Museum with
lots info. |
| Got the brand new Tennadyne T14 here and is now putting it
all together. Big antenna weighting 75kg with 14el on a 12m boom,
10-30Mhz. Will get it up to the spring when the 24m tower is erased. |
| Found a 70 million serial 950SDX in US
and will let Mike
voodoo modify it and make it my spare rig. Lots others have also
realized there's nothing like the warm SDX sound, just wait til the
6.7kc card is here! |
| Got the last voodoo modified units in my rack. A
882 and 1602 mixer, ex3200 for recreating harmonics on playback and a
2024P for the plate. Ofcourse all mods done by WZ5Q at the Voodoo Labs!
:) |
| Today the
Eventide H8000FW and EVE/Net arrived from US. What a extreme unit it
is!! hahah My cohones instantly grow twice in size :) Gonna be
fun experiment and see what can be done. Thanks Mike :) |
| Got the voodoo modified HHB Radius 20
tube equalizer from Mike WZ5Q, and wow how smooth the audio is now!
This is the last item needed in my rack. Finally all is done (10 months
hard work) and I have identical rackgear and mods done as him. Well -
now just awaiting the Eventide H8000FW ofcourse :) |
| The TS-950SDX from Mike WZ5Q arrived! What a amazing rig it
is, one of 2 in the World being this heavily modified... |
| Been putting up
a 6 el wire yagi with 24.5m (80ft) boomlenght for 20m. Works real
good towards the voodoo crew in US. |
| With the help of
my buddy Mike WZ5Q, Im now transformed into a *true* Voodoo
Godess in silky nylon stockings! We readjusted the audio for
several
hours and finally found
those hot sexy spots. And yes - Im also W5UDX approved
:) |
| Got the heavily
voodoo modified Kenwood TS-850S and DSP-100 from WZ5Q! It uses
6kc tx bandwidth in SSB, recordings are now made live via air to
the TS-870S. Listen to the soundbite above, updated continously... |
| The Bellari
RP-583 and RP-562 arrived from Mike + the voodoo modified ex3200, so
now *finally* the audio setup is complete! Next gear is Mikes
Kenwood TS-850 with DSP-100 and TS-950SDX coming next year.
Exciting - ohhh! :) |
| Today I got the
Bellari RP520 mic-preamp and it sounds great. Now awaiting the RP562
& RP583 from Mike WZ5Q to make my Bellari setup complete. Ofcourse
all units with RCA 5751 Command Series tubes and voodoo mods! |
| Got the Bellari
RP533 compressor/exciter from Mike WZ5Q. Its amazing how much harmonics
it adds to the audio. More units coming later :) Bellari is tube driven
and I use the very rare RCA 5751 Command Series tubes in all my units. |
| Right now I am using a new microphone, the TSM Muneo
and it sounds awesome! Big like a nuclear missile and sounds like
nothing else I've tried. Uses a 2 inch element, weights nearly 4 pounds
and with 2 tubes - it rox heavy! Listen to the soundbite
above. Some new voodoo gear on the way from Mike WZ5Q as well.
Were's the competition guys? :) *** DA VOODOO AUDIO IS DA WAY TO
GOOOOO! ***
