SqueezeAMP ~ All In One Audio Board


With the squeezelite-esp32 software, you can

  • Stream from LMS and send audio to the build-in amplifier, the line-out jack, the spdif connector or another Bluetooth speaker. You can also use an external I2S DAC if you connect it to the general purpose 5/8 pins connector and tweak the software. Synchronization works.
  • Stream from a Bluetooth device and send audio to the same outputs, except of course for sending to another Bluetooth speaker … There is no guarantee of audio/video synchronization at this point
  • Stream from an AirPlay1 device (iPhone, iTunes …) to the same outputs, including to a Bluetooth speaker. Synchronization works.
  • Add your own buttons, rotary encoder and map/combine them to various functions (play, pause, volume, next …
  • Use IR control by adding a simple receiver compatible with 38kHz device (no pullup resistor or capacitor needed)
  • Add a display like this one which can be directly connected to the 6-pins header. Currently SH1106, SSD1306, SSD1322, SSD1326/7, SSD1351, ST7735 and ST7789 displays are supported.

ThatMicPre ~ DIY Mic Preamp With Switched Gain


A simple, high-quality DIY microphone pre-amplifier with switched gain. The background for this project was that I needed a simple but good microphone preamp for doing acoustic measurements. I needed a switched gain to be able to reproduce the gain setting in a more predictable way than what is possible with a potmeter. I could not find any existing DIY designs, so I decided to make one.

The design is based on the excellent THAT1510 or THAT1512 preamp ICs. It is also compatible with SSM2019 or INA217. I have followed all THAT’s datasheets and app-notes to implement a robust, best-practice design.

A goal was to use simple through-hole parts that I and other DIYers usually have in our parts drawer. So there are no additional IC’s or voltage regulators for example, it just uses simple transistors, capacitors and zener diodes for supply filtering and regulation. I selected affordable switches and connectors to keep cost down. Many parts can be substituted without sacrificing performance.

There are two versions of this design, one suited for a desktop encolsure with gain switch on top, and one suited for a rack-mount enclosure with gain switch on the front.

Multitone Analyzer ~ Loopback Analysis For Audio


Multitone Analyzer is an app designed to explore audio electronics performance by producing quick measurements using a simple loop-back configuration. MA produces a specific set of test tones that are sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that are then passed through one or more analog components and then received by MA and analyzed. MA both, plays the signals and records them for analysis. DAC and ADC are required for this to work.

  • Measurements that MA can produce: TD+N, IMD, N+D, delay, clock drift, frequency response, etc.
  • Audio support for WASAPI, ASIO, and Direct Audio devices with sampling rates of up to 384kHz/32 bits
  • Test signals: arbitrarily large multi-tone signal, simple sine waves, two-tone IMD test signals, 3-tone IMD test signals, square wave, triangle wave
  • FFT sizes of up to 1M
  • For distortion measurements a range of frequencies to measure can be selected

OpenBroadcaster ~ Broadcast Your Stream


OBPlayer is a stable and secure UNIX-based media streaming playout application that can operate as a standalone player or controlled over a network by a managing OBServer. It can be installed remotely at a transmitter site, in the studio or as multiple virtual headless processes.

OBPlayer is built with rules based intelligence to continue broadcasting no matter what happens. It functions by continually syncing with OBServer, looking for updated schedules, media, and priority broadcasts. If there is a blank spot in the schedule, it falls back to a Default Playlist. If that fails, it goes into Fallback Media Mode. If that fails, it plays from the analog input bypass. Finally, it will play a test signal as a last resort. OBPlayer will always play valid CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) Alerts at the highest priority.

OBPlayer can be run in a variety of configurations:

  • Headless OBPlayer (CLI Process)
  • LIVE Assist with Mobile HTML5 Touch Screen interface
  • GTK desktop application for a Digital Display and output to CATV
  • Standalone Emergency Alerting CAP Player supporting audio, image and video
  • Support For IPAWS CAP Profile Version 1.0 via Alert-Hub

OpenBroadcaster focuses on reliability, accessibility and scalability over a having a bloated range of half baked / buggy features. It has an organic AJAX interface built with Gstreamer, HTML5 and Javascript to deliver a web application in support of broadcast radio and TV automation, media asset management and dynamic community programming. One OBServer may manage one or more OBPlayer in a synchronized network configuration or have the server and playout on one device or VM. There is a robust Plugin Module Architecture with many modules extending the core server application. The server has a Documented API to enable sharing digital media assets and metadata with revocable secure keys.
