Hnat Hindes CSP 2013 Mic Maze

One of a couple of great boxes designed by the late Steve Hnat, whom I was lucky enough to meet and even got a got recommendation from. Truly a nice guy.

Broadcast Technology was the group who acquired Steve's product line after his death - perhaps they may have the info you you on the Mic Maze.

I should learn not to type with my thumbs, as I should have said "... I was lucky enough to meet and even get a job recommendation from." I suppose I should actually read what I wrote before I click post. (it would help if the Preview worked in the Apple Safari web browser).

I knew an AM that was using quite a bit of the Hnat Hindes processors including the Tri-Maze. It's a decent processor even for today in the analog world. I have one of the Transmission Limiters for the high school campus station I built where the stereo feeds the FM transmitter and the mono output feeds the processor for the AM.
 
I had a Tri-Maze once upon a time and concur, it was a good sounding box. But then one day one of the channels croaked, making it a Bi-Maze. I tried getting parts from BT, but they didn't support the Tri-Maze any more. So it went on the parts shelf.
 
I have an A-Maze... Use it for overall music processing... It still works well, stands tall with any contemporary gear...
 
Appreciate all the insights...thank you...
Does anyone have any manual/documentation on this unit?
I have communicated with Chuck at Broadcast Technology and was unable to open up what he sent me...
there's basic information along with jumper settings that would be handy to have...
anyway, thanks again for the insights and your help...
 
There's not a problem.
I've just gotten to the point I like to understand what a piece of gear can do...
There's user selectable jumper switching that I would like to understand...
Information is power...that's all...
thanks again...

Did you ask him about what type of files he sent you? I had received documentation from Chuck in the past and had no difficulty opening the files.
 
This is semi-off topic since the original post was about the Mic Maze.

I have a couple of Tri-Maze's. Great 3-brand processor for it's day. Extremely flexible. You can clip the daylights out of an AM signal and it still sounds great. Musical...
