| WT1205 is Real! | Print This Article |
Finally! After many months of additional research and development, Eden’s new flagship integrated amplifier, the WT1205 is in production!
Cue the fireworks! Strike up the band! The WT1205 is becoming a reality.
This amplifier is the most complex design Eden has ever built. David and the design team refused to release it for production until the Big Guy was completely satisfied with its performance in every way. The design team is extremely relieved to know that every goal has been met and the unit can now be produced.
Below are some photos taken with our super-secret spycam. We present these to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the WT1205 is no longer vaporware. Before looking at them, keep one thing in mind: the first production run of any new design takes longer than subsequent runs. In that the 1205 is so complex, we are taking things slowly, one step at a time, checking and rechecking at every phase of the build. As soon as we ship the first run to Mundelein, we will make an announcement in the forum.
OK…now that you’ve read that disclaimer, feast your eyes on these:
Here’s a look at the final prototype of the WT1205. Because Lane asked so many times, “are we there yet?”
David threatened to send him this one, sans labels. Lane shut up very quickly.
Joan builds preamp boards for the WT1205.
Chief Propellerhead and Master of All Things Technical David (Eden) Nordschow tests output modules.
Some have commented that his shirt is as loud as a WT1205.
Bob sorts wiring harnesses. One of these, one of those, and two of them over there.
Our personal Rocket Scientist, David G. (Earl to his friends, don’t ask us why) refuels with high-test coffee.
The Big Guy told him he could sleep when the WT1205s shipped. Earl is really looking forward to that.
Jake installs the incredibly cool lighted logo on a WT1205 chassis.
Char takes a spin on the component inserter, which we call the “roid”.
A computer places the board in proper position and Char inserts the components by hand – one at a time.
Jimmy shows off a chassis with faceplate attached.
So, there you have it. The first official pictures of the new WT1205. Not only do they prove it is becoming a reality, they also show that we mean it when say our products are hand-built.
Eden’s new King of the Hill – the WT1205. Coming to a dealer near you. Soon.
