Sound Bridge Acoustic Labs
Description
SBAL is committed to providing the finest quality speaker products available in today's Pro Touring, Install and MI Markets. This is accomplished by stressing value to the consumer, support to the dealer and commitment to the marketplace.
Sound•Bridge was formed on January 1st, 1994. SB began with six entry-level products targeted at the MI Market. Simultaneously the parent company of SB, Surplus Technology Group, Inc. was flourishing under the direction of President I. Christopher Cole. As a result of the tremendous growth in the computer industry STG had to become the primary focus of Chris' energies for a season causing SB to be set aside for almost three years.
In August 1996 Chris refocused his attention on his first love, Sound•Bridge. He renamed the company Sound•Bridge Acoustic Labs and began working diligently on the company's rebirth. Prior to this time Sound•Bridge had not been actively involved in Research and Development. In August of 1996 Chris hired the needed expertise to complete the R&D on SBAL's first product line - the series 3000. SBAL attended its first trade show and introduced its first eleven products at the winter NAMM show in 1997. Based on an exceptional market reaction, Chris realized that SBAL was an extremely viable product line. He began investing in further R&D.
To facilitate production and development SBAL purchased a CNC router. This brought SBAL into state of the art speaker manufacturing technology. With further investment, research, and computer aided tools SBAL began adding new product lines at an incredibly rapid pace. SBAL currently has over seventy products and is continuing to develop new products on a monthly basis.

Wunder Audio: We Live, sleep, dream and breath audio and the engineering that refines detail to an obsessive edge. The PEQ1 series was born when we began to ask, "If price and market were no object, what is the absolute best mic-pre/equalizer we're capable of producing?" What we came up with is probable overkill for 98 percent of the engineers in the world, but if you are part of the small demanding group of people that are as passionate and curious about pursuing the ridiculous best as we are, have we got the gear for you.
The Wunder Audio CM7 Microphone:
The Wunder Audio CM7 uses an original M7 capsule. You can can choose a 40-50 year old M7 capsule that is newly re-skinned to original spec. There is a choice of PVC or 4-6 micron Mylar substrate, thinner diaphragms are also available. Another option is an old M7 with its original diaphragm. This is, however, not recommended as the 50 year old PVC has hardened and would not sound as it did when it left the factory. But with that said, we have matched the sound of one customers old completely stock "Large badge" U47 from 1950. We can also offer new or re-skinned KK47 capsules.
The transformer is made in the US by an ex-Telefunken Germany employee who has the original plans and tooling for the U47 transformer. He uses a higher nickel content to achieve a better low end. The microphone rolls off at 22 Hz instead of the 30-40 Hz of an original U47. We can also install the early larger style U47 transformer that was used in the now legendary "Large Badged" U47's. These first couple of hundred U47's are very sought after sonically.
The problem with a vintage U47 is that the old transformer wire used PVC insulation. This insulation cracks over the years and depending on where, you can loose high or low frequency response. If the mic was stored in high humidity the PVC would of lifted up, bubbled, then cracked while drying out. If the mic were stored too dry the wire would simply have cracked ...
