Andromeda Versions?

Postby Anthony_G7LRQ » Thu Dec 08, 2022 4:09 pm

Sorry not sure where is best to post this, so please move if needed.

Can anyone confirm if there have been 2 front panels designs for the andromeda?

I have found one for sale, but it seems to have differences to the one shown for ordering from Apache direct?
The mike is a 3.5 connector not the RJ45 and it doesn't seem to have all the LED lights.
It has a bevel all around the edge and appears to be grey in colour and not include the product name.
Is it just an earlier design or something else? Is it likely to have difference on the hardware inside?

Any information welcomed!

The prototype Andromedas had an RJ45 connector. That's how Kjell and I designed it. Abhi has changed it at a late stage to have a 3.5mm jack like the other Apache Labs units. So that looks like a genuine one to me.
