Model 770
Foreword
It was a great pleasure to have had the chance to design the Model 770, a unique product
for a specialized application. Our goal was to take a set of requirements that were essen-
tially at odds with each other and combine them into a rational product. We had to make
the Model 770 meet a highly specific application, be flexible to configure and use, be
feature-rich yet easy to operate, have good sonic performance, with everything combined
in a compact and reliable package.
Many broadcast professionals contributed their time, expertise, and good ideas to help
shape the Model 770. Without their help the unit would definitely not be as tweaked out
as it is. A hearty thanks to all of you!
Many people at Studio Technologies contributed toward making the Model 770 a reality.
Fred Roeck did the mechanical design and prepared the production documentation.
Carrie Loving designed the graphics and provided engineering CAD support. Al Lux de-
signed the printed circuit boards. Mitch Budniak, Ace Consulting Engineer, designed the
power supply and did several overall reality reviews. Joe Urbanczyk designed the com-
puterized test routines for the Audio Precision System One and worked on agency approv-
als. Larry Leviton wrote the software that drives the itty-bitty micro-controller in the telco
interface sectionall in a few hundred bytes of C! Minas Serbekian and his crew built the
prototype units, ensuring that the final design was "manufacturable."
