Audiophile Circuits League cooks up a 70’s style System 1 Stereo Synth
Take a selection of Audiophile Circuits League modules and work them into a very old-school utility looking synthesizer. The ACL System 1 will be introduced at Superbooth 2018 and for some reason it’s important to note that it’s a “Stereo Synth”.

Their modules definitely have 70’s TV show vibe to them. Like lab equipment from The Incredible Hulk (with Lou Feriggno) or the 6 Million Dollar Man. Despite the look Audiophile Circuits League say they only use the highest quality components. The System 1 features 10 modules fitted into an 84 HP 6U case with integrated power supply.
The modules include:
- 2 x Variable Sync VCO – 5 waveforms with outputs, variable sync, FM and some uncommon extremes

- 1 x M/S- Matrix – gives access to the mid and side of a stereo signal for processing.
- 1 x VC Panning Amplifier – a 2 channel VCA with gain, attenuators and panning.
- 1 x Audio Interface – high quality balanced inputs and outputs.
The emphasis is very much on a having a stereo signal running through the system which I guess is the reason why it’s in the product name.
The ACL System 1 Stereo Synth will be available later in the year for a projected price of €3600. Superbooth 2018 will be the first chance for us to check this thing out as a unit. Demos of individual modules can be found on their YouTube channel.
