PCB

The WM-EX612 printed circuit board (PCB) is well designed and fabricated and is similar to the one in the following Walkmans.

  • WM-EX510
  • WM-EX512
  • WM-EX612
  • WM-EX614
  • WM-EX622

They simply install a different firmware that provides access to different functionality. Microcontrollers being one of my skills, I was very interested in looking at the firmware on the main IC.

The IC701 is the main microcontroller chip in a plastic package.

The design of this Walkman has undergone many revisions and improvements, and this model is one of the best.
