Dick Burwen has been a major figure in the electronics world for over 60 years.
At the early age of eight Dick knew he wanted to design electronic equipment. Inspired by his father Henry Burwen, who once worked in a radio store, he
built several crystal radios, graduating to single tube, two tube, and three tube circuits. At 14 he acquired professional first class radiotelephone and
second class radiotelegraph licenses and had built his amateur radio station, W1NMG. During his high school years in Melrose, Massachusetts Dick
and his dad serviced radios in their basement. Dick did the troubleshooting and his dad refinished the wooden cabinets. World War II was under way
and Dick worked for a year after school at National Company Inc. aligning and troubleshooting the Navy version of the HRO short wave receiver.

and Dick worked for a year after school at National Company Inc. aligning and troubleshooting the Navy version of the HRO short wave receiver.
Dick got hands-on experience at the Navy Radio Technician training schools and theoretical training at Harvard where he earned Bachelor’s and Master’
s degrees. At Bell Laboratories during the summer of 1949 between semesters, he designed a tracking band-pass filter. His first job after finishing
graduate school was at Spencer-Kennedy Laboratories, Inc. where he designed all the RF distribution networks, and planned and supervised the initial
installation of the second cable TV system built.

At Krohn-Hite Corp. Dick designed the laboratory UF101 Ultra-Low distortion Power Amplifier. Using type 6550 output tubes in a multiple-loop,
high-feedback system, this amplifier, rated at 0.005% distortion was manufactured in small quantity for 20 years. From 1955 to 1961 Dick designed hi-fi
equipment at National Company, Inc., circuits for military equipment at Norden-Ketay Corp., sensitive DC measuring instruments, and a 1 kW transistor
power for Navy sonar research at Honeywell Corp., Boston Division. During weekends and evenings he designed circuits as a consultant to other
companies.

companies.
In September 1961 Dick quit his job at Honeywell to become a full-time circuit design consultant, working at his well equipped home laboratory for more
than 60 different companies during the next 42 years. He has authored more than 30 technical articles and received 14 patents. Among the circuits
Dick has designed are numerous medical instruments, industrial controls, laboratory test instruments, power supplies, aircraft instruments, automobile
ignition, detectors, high resolution video displays, and analog IC’s.

ignition, detectors, high resolution video displays, and analog IC’s.
Dick got into a lot of really interesting projects. Among the more challenging projects were ultra-low drift chopper-stabilized DC data amplifiers, IC
multipliers and function generators, magnetometers, and low-noise switching power amplifiers. He designed circuitry of the first transistorized blood cell
counter, a seizure detector for epilepsy, photoelectric relays, high resolution CRT displays, early projection color TV, a military satellite spin detector, and
magnetometers for ground use and aircraft. His spacecraft magnetometer circuits successfully measured the magnetic field of the moon from orbit.

When the government shut down ham radio for security reasons during World War II Dick became interested in hi-fi sound reproduction. In college and
graduate school at Harvard, Dick’s advisor was F. V. Hunt, inventor of the first low-pressure phono pickup – it tracked 16-inch transcription discs at only
5 grams instead of ounces. Dick was inspired to spend every afternoon in the Physics Library reading every article in every publication that had
anything to do with acoustics and music recording and reproduction. When Dick asked to take courses outside the normal curriculum, Dr. Hunt asked:
“Do you want to become a scientist or an audio nut?’ Dick’s answer: “Both”.

Dick’s passion for audio has been steady for more than 70 years. Much of his life’s work in both audio and consulting for various companies has been in
multiple-loop high feedback systems. His developments in audio led to advances in his consulting projects and vice versa. The op amps Dick designed
for his own hi-fi system started semiconductor manufacturer, Analog Devices, Inc in 1965. He worked for the company for a number of years as a
consultant, designing many analog modules, and later, integrated circuits. For 24 years his consulting work was almost entirely for Copley Controls,
Corp., of which Dick was a founder. The company started producing Burwen designed switching servo amplifiers. A customer in the MRI business found
that seven of the book size Model 220 amplifiers in parallel on each of three axis eliminated two racks full of linear amplifiers, allowing an MRI system to fit
into a trailer. Since then Copley Controls has become dominant in gradient amplifiers. About 25% of the worlds hospital MRI systems used Dicks circuits.

One of Dicks clients in 1961 was Lafayette Radio, a New York parts distributor. Technicians in the store basement manufactured a 160 Watt Transistor
Stereo Power Amplifier of Dick’s design. The output stage used series connected germanium power transistors. In the early 1970’s a new company,
Burwen Laboratories, Inc developed the Model 2000 Noise Eliminator, a 3:1 companding noise reduction system that extended the dynamic range of an
analog tape recorder to 110 dB. It did not quite sell to A&M records who feared setting a new industry standard different from Dolby. Burwen
Laboratories did sell about 150 of its $3500 Model 1000 Dynamic Noise Filters. These one-way noise reduction systems for existing records and tapes
were used by recording studios and FM stations for many years.

The Burwen Laboratories product line expanded to lower cost professional Dynamic Noise Filters and consumer versions. Later KLH acquired and
updated the consumer products. After more than 40 years a few Burwen Laboratories professional model 1000 Dynamic Noise Filters, KLH Burwen
Research consumer Dynamic Noise Filters, and Transient Noise Eliminators are still in use.

Dick built his first major hi-fi system when he was in high school and a freshman at Harvard. In contrast to his present 20,000 watt system, it used a 3-
watt amplifier. In common with the present system, it used feedback to boost extreme high and low frequencies to compensate for speaker loss and it
had colored lights – Christmas tree lamps. You can read about Dick’s present system and Audio Splendor software at http://www.burwenaudio.com In
the years between these two hi-fi systems Dick built ever more powerful and flexible systems. Much of the improvement resulted from tone control
development that compensated the speakers and program sources, and now his patented high frequency reverberation..

As a consultant Dick helped Mark Levinson with the first products of Mark Levinson Audio Systems and Cello LTD’s Audio Palette. Millions of National
Semiconductor DNR chips licensed under Dick’s patents appeared in car stereos and other products. Now mostly retired from consulting, he is busier
than ever with new computer audio software. He has been married to his wife Barbara for 60 years.

| DICK BURWEN'S FIRST HI-FI SYSTEM, 1945 |
The power amplifier delivered 3 watts from a single 6L6G pentode, with feedback that equalized the speakers at extreme high and low frequencies as
much as 30 dB. Bass and treble controls provided flexibility. The speaker system consisted of a Jensen 15 inch coaxial and two 5-inch tweeters. A
labyrinth inside the cabinet extended the low frequency response. It had colored lights and the sound was loud, brilliant, and deep, without boom..
A 25 pound steel plate substituted for the original 78 rpm phono platter, and the Audax pickup used the first diamond stylus. Before that, sapphire styli
lasted only 25 plays.
When Dick was a freshman at Harvard he sold a long technical srticle on this system to Radio News magazine called "Objectives in High Fidelity Amplifier
Design". It advocated a large rise in frequency response at 30 Hz and 15 kHz instead of flat rsponse. The article was never published.

After showing it to a few potential customers Dick realized that those who appreciated the sound didn't have enough money and those who had the
money didn't care. About the same time a call came from Spencer-Kennedy Laboratories, Inc. who needed an engineer. That was Dicks first
two-year job where he became a pioneer in cable TV.

Burwen Laboratories and later KLH Burwen Research produced his one-way consumer noise reduction system in the early 1970s. It reduced hiss
from tapes and records with little effect on the sound. It worked by cutting off high frequencies at 9 db/octave during quiet music when there is little
harmonic content, and gradually and automatically extending the bandwidth beyond 20 kHz when there is loud high frequency content.
