Reception of v1.5 and prototypes of v2

that’s it, our wallbox2mp3 v1.5 and prototypes of V2 have (finally) arrived !! Still be patient just a little bit 😉 , we need to do the assembly and test them but they will soon be available again!

New version v1.5

That’s it, a new version is available, v1.5 !!

The new V1.5 wallbox2mp3 released manages the sound a completely new way ; The sound is now digitally managed until it arrives to its amp / jack output ,so it’s fully protected against Electromagnetic Interference ,it’s also protected by much more audio filters. The sound doesn’t go any more throughout the remote pot ribbon but has been replaced by a simple current , so you can use a very long remote pot cable ( up to 150 inches,more than 400 inches using an higher wire gauge ) without any consequence on sound quality.

Moreover the sound amplifier is much more powerfull and can act as a class D ( better efficiency ) or a class AB ( to sum up better sound quality ) audio amplifier

While waiting for our v2 which should be released in the coming months… ..

We’ll be at the “Rock Around the Jukebox” exhibition at Rosemalen (Netherlands)!!!!!

We’ll be at the “Rock Around the Jukebox” exhibition at Rosemalen (Netherland) And we’re so happy

I’ve previously written that we’ve missed “Rock around the Jukebox” at Rosemalen (Netherlands) .
Actually we were on the waiting list and only 3 days before the event,it was clear for us that we couldn’t exhibit at the most famous exhibition in Europe.

But we’ve received a call that has delighted us 🙂

We’ve obtained A small (but precious) place of 3 meters and we will be there !!!!
We will have to improvise as we have only two days to organize the event (it’s a bit short), but at least we will be there!
Come and see our wallboxes operating and if you’ve already purchased a wallbox2mp3, bring it and we’ll update it to the new V1.3 for free! It is for us the opportunity to gather your opinions, your ideas, etc …. And even if you’re not interested by our wallbox2mp3, this show is definitely the best I’ve never seen !!!

Do You know the Dollon music museum ?

Located in France, in the Sarthe, between Paris and Le Mans, near the A11 motorway,
 the museum of mechanical music is a great place to go.

musee_musique_mecanique


Its goal is to present a collection of musical instruments covering a period from 1800 to the 60's.
Obviously, you will discover an incredible amount of rare mechanisms in perfect condition. 
But even more,it's the framework that will delight you. Indeed, the museum doesn't just give you 
an endless inventory of exceptions mechanisms,but it also places them in the context of the time.
Thus, within the museum, you will enter in a cinema of the 20s fully restored and you'll enjoy a drink 
in a bar of the 30s.

In short, the museum offer you a getaway outside of time.

You will see music boxes, phonographs, etc ....

But you'll also find juboxes and wallboxes

It has notably the famous Scopitone, the 1st Jukebox able to display movies!

We met Mr Corbin, the Director of the museum, while our wallbox2mp3 was in development. Such 
a passionnate couldn't accept that some of its wallbox couldn't play music as he didn't have the
compatible jukebox.
As he is dramaticaly competent, he had associated with our project and helped us to improve
our wallbox2mp3 in many ways.

He has done an excellent tutorial about installing the Wallbox2mp3 in Wurlitzer Fernwhal Box 160 .
This tutorial is available in the support section of our website.
