It was conceived after Choi bought the ultra-slim Apple MacBook Air laptop, and wanted a similarly thin, stylish adapter for it. They mention that it is a very neat and compact unit for pocket or bag, and that it's so clever and skim.

When folded, the live and neutral pins are covered by the housing of the charger, while the plastic earth pin sticks out just a few millimetres. Maybe I’m over stating the problem but, I have to admit, when I bought my first Apple Mac, I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous of the neat folding pins on the US model that slipped easily into my laptop bag, versus the UK equivalent.

Sir James Dyson says that device, which came third in his Foundation’s own awards, was “a thoughtful and functional solution to a problem that has annoyed us all. You can let your mix breathe by preventing low frequencies from triggering compression with the High-Pass filter, adjust the response to vocals or other instruments thanks to the parametric bell filter, and keep the influence of the top-end under control with the positive or negative High-Shelf filter.

Choi has shown how robust engineering can transform an age old design, but don’t underestimate the persistence it will have taken to commercialese it.For high-quality performance, the Mu Classic has an embedded auto-detect chip enabling the Mu to identify the device being connected and, in turn, deliver device-optimum charge. Using Mu in Mid/Side mode gives you another way to increase stereo image, or to curtail an overly wide mix. PVT, a technology that is central to the MU Tablet Folding USB Mains Adapter and the MU range of products, has taken years to develop and is protected by many global patents. Mastering engineer Justin Perkins and I set up and compared his mastering version of the Variable Mu alongside the plug-in with test tones for proper input levels.

The phrase ‘small enough to fit in your pocket’ is bandied around all too often these days, but this thing really is.From the saturation of the magnetic flux in the transformers, to the precise response of the tubes, to the effects of tiny calibration defects, everything is perfectly reproduced. It manages transients in a soft and musical way, even with extreme settings, unlike a FET or VCA compressor. Because we are a specialty manufacturer of precision ferrules, easy fiber insertion, precision polish process, and high quality of the connectors are realized.
