Do specific clocks matter? Analog delays

[march500]

Question:
Will a bl3102 work with 2 mn3205's? What about with 2 v3205's? I'm having difficulty tracking down mn3102's so what I'm getting at is: Is a clock just a clock? Thanks!

Yes it'll be fine with either, the BL/MN is just the branding.

Thanks for clarifying

the BL3102 clock can be substituted where you would need to normally acquire the MN3102 from Panasonic NOS or v3102 from Cool Audio

note for 15v applications, you need the 3101 or compatible clock and suitable BBD

^That document is what got me thinking about compatibility because it shows mn3102/v3102 for the v3205 but left out bl3102. I thought it might have to do with the number of steps, the bl3208 only having 2048 vs 4096 for the v3205 and mn3205. The chart shows mn3101 with the v3205. Shouldn't it be mn3102?

In general yes you want to match 3101 to 300X chips and 3102 to 320X chips, you can mix and match but you have to change things around, pay attention to the clocks in built Vgg output and be sure you don't put anything above 10V in to the 3102 chips. It's simpler to just match.

Ignore the fact it misses the BL3102 off the V/MN3205.

One more question about mixing and matching. I've got a single mn3005 from years ago. Can it be used in a circuit with a mn3008 to yield a 400-450ms delay time? Say in the aquaboy for example? Or would it require modding the circuit to accept two different chips? I built an ad3208 about 10 years ago and I'm thinking about doing another BBD delay. Thanks for all the help.

3005 and 3008 can be used together with no problems or modifications.
