OTHER BOOKS
BRENELL specifications, circuit diagrams and service notes
This is as complete a set of data on Brenell recorders that I have
been able to a muster, covering all models from the Sound Master to
the Mini-8, plus the pre-amps. Please note some, such as the
IC-2000, Mk.7 and Type 19 variants and Type 600 were not issued in
great detail. Some circuit diagrams are too large to scan as one
legible A4 copy.
These are mainly sourced from Brenell's literature. I have used the
'best available copy', which may not necessarily contain the most
up to date modifications or specifications. Factory service notes
were originally typed and duplicated; due to variable legibility,
these have been retyped.
PLEASE NOTE! I am not an audio engineer, so these are 'offered in
good faith but at your risk'. I cannot be held responsible for
errors, so if you are at all in doubt, ask a qualified service
engineer. I would welcome qualified corrections.
This set published 2011: 90 pages A4 softback, £25.00 + £2.50
