Digitally remastered classic - JJC Sound
« on: June 11, 2020, 11:53:06 am »

The first time I heard the JJC Sound System in a model it left me with a lasting memory.

The bass profile (grunt) of the sound in my experience is unique to JJC.

Whilst no longer in production and with a reputation for over heating leading to reliability issues these are still sought after sounds systems

I have a few of the JJC cards in various models and some new still in their original package.

Wanting to build on this sound I decided to digitally extract the sound files from a JJC Sound System.

I have then been able to digitally remaster the sound file to clean it up and get rid of some the unwanted artifacts(clicks/pops etc) leaving me with a clean sound file.

Until now the hardware available to play this back have been relatively expensive.

It is now possible to build a proportional sound system (single engine for now) for less than £15 including an amp but excluding a speaker.

I will publish more when I have a chance to make a video.

Hi c-3po, interested to see where this thread goes, I have a JJC triple sound unit.
The only problem the sounds. Are on a loop, you can,t separate them even though
There is a red set button.
The sound produced is very good.

              C-3PO
               I also have several JJC sound units, some in models and some horn sounds
               units not in use. I was also very impressed when I first heard Jim Casey demonstrating
               his sound units at Deans Marine many years ago.
               
               I am wondering what could be done with the PE310 Turbo Cat sound unit to improve it,
               it did have some problems. Looking forward to your future posts.

                                                      Bryan.
