Chapter 02 � Electric Eye - Posted on 2018-02-20 by Wajira Amarakoon

It’s amazing how one acoustical performance run through so many electrical circuits and yet be perceived as a natural performance at the listening end. Electronics some how went past me in high school just to emerge now and make me interested all over again.

Dive into the basic electronics once again awoke my mind to the memories playing around with circuits building light patterns and speakers with friend in the good old days. I remember taking apart old equipment just to see how thing were put together inside to do this marvelous thing we did with just a button or a knob. Scavenging parts all over the town to create something just for fun.

In the studio Kris let me take a peak in to different equipment and we ended up soldering some ¼ cables with some remaining supplies at the studio. It’s not that I didn’t have any doubts picking up that soldering iron after a longtime, but everything worked out fine and I learned couple of new tricks to making a high-quality cable for reliable use.

I came home with my refreshed circuitry skills and decided to open this old subwoofer that bothered me with its rumbling. I took apart the old sucker and tightened up some loose ingredients and I also didn’t miss any screws assembling either. There it was, like new booming like thunder. It was one of those days, drink some tea and enjoy that bass.
