The practically achieved Dynamic Range AES17 in the cascaded Preamp->Notch
@1kHz -60dbfs(10mVrms) >153db(A), @1kHz -60dbfs(5mVrms) >150db(A)
Preamp inputs, just in case, have internal low-noise phantom power 48VDC+/-4V
2x6.8kOhm for use with condenser mics(Neumann, AKG, Rode, and so on).
The phantom power increasing the noise of the Preamp for 12nVrms(A) i.e. 130+12nV
Do not turn On that power without a mic connected, that may damage the device tied to the APU's preamp input! Please wait for at least 10s after the phantom power is Off, to safely plug/unplug anything to the Preamp input.
Outputs: 3.5mm jacks TRRS pinout as +Out/GND/GND/GND respectively
unbalanced up to 10Vrms, Zo = 47ohm
Frequency response: Notch: 5Hz-200+kHz Fnotch=1k
0db referred to 50Hz 1kHz -30db, 2kHz -0.5..-0.6db, 3kHz -0.2db
Preamp: 10Hz-1MHz+ -3db@60db gain, 10Hz-5MHz+ -3db@34db gain

Important notes
Please, before you decide to buy Cosmos APU, make sure that you completely understand what is it. Analog Processing Unit is the first in its kind device on the market, hence, you need to understand do you really want:
a) to do the measurement of your DAC/AMP distortions@1kHz/10kHz at <-150/-130db harmonics level, or THD+N@1kHz down to -132db. In that case, you need the Notch part of Cosmos APU.
b) measuring your DAC/AMP DR/SNR with the residual APU's noise 130nVrms(A) with the Preamp of Cosmos APU.
c) to rip vinyl records with the Preamp of Cosmos APU + Cosmos ADC with built-in DSP RIAA EQing. Please, check Cosmos ADC page to find the CosmosAdc_v13_RIAA.hex.
d) to use a Pro condenser mic with 48V phantom power with the Preamp of Cosmos APU.

Remember that the input voltage for the APU's Preamp should be <=3.5Vrms, and <=10Vrms for Notch. Overvoltage of inputs may damage the unit, as a result, usually, input 0603 10ohm resistors will be burned.
Often the 2nd harmonic(H2) APU performance strongly depends on the symmetry of your particular bench/setup, hence, it is a good idea to use a power-bank, USB ISO, or battery-powered laptop for the ADC after APU. Often, a symmetry-related issue would be noticed if H2 levels are different after changing the input polarity.
To avoid accidentally turning On the phantom-power and further damaging the DUT tied to the Preamp input, we placed the blocking red plastic bar into the 48V power switch. Please, take it out before working with a condenser mic. Never turn On the 48V power without a mic but if you did that, please do not insert the plug into the 3.5mm input jack at least 10s after 48V power is Off, or also, you can see the orange LED(48V auxiliary indication)D light inside of the jack, please wait for the light dimming down.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.

Monstrously Sweet
Format: Kindle
This book packs an emotional punch, especially if you’ve experienced childhood trauma (particularly abuse and/or neglect). Alexandra creates these three strong protectors who love her and will do anything to make her feel happy and safe. She started out drawing them when she was a small child, and then transitioned to stories as she grew up. Lucien, Elwin, and Kylo look frightening in their monster forms, but it’s clear that they would never hurt Alexandra, and she has never felt afraid of them. They have very distinct personalities that we get to know better throughout the book. The love and devotion they have for Alexandra is sweet and unwavering.
This is a fantastic and creative story! The world-building is wonderful - it’s a shared world with M. Sinclair, and takes place at a university for supernatural beings. The additional world-building within Alexandra’s story added even more depth and intrigue. The spicy times were 🥵 and it’s more of a medium burn, but it works with the characters and I expect that it’ll pick up quite a bit in the next books.
Monsters Within has a unique way of addressing mental health issues that can come from being abused and neglected. There are some flashbacks to Alexandra’s childhood that provide some insight but they don’t go into heavy details.
I absolutely adored this book and can’t wait for more!

One of us
Format: Kindle
Alexandra is literally one of us. She's just lucky her fictional men became a reality hahaha. This was a good start to what I know is going to be a great series. This was fast paced and kept me entertained. Im ready for the chaos to slow down a little bit so we can get more into the character development. There's so much happening, I feel like we hardly know anything about anyone BUT that's why this is a series so let's get to the next one!
