Re: That1580 mini mixer

Boards ordered. First next step is just a physical dimension test on the jacks and edge connectors. I caught one error, which might turn into a positive... I rearranged the phantom blocking caps, which were previously 22uf - as I understand it this about the low end of what you want. I can only fit ...

Re: That1580 mini mixer

Oled: Show me how I can use lcd in a smaller footprint than what I'm using now. I managed to squeeze the 6th channel back in by offloading the p/s onto a mini card. Getting close to a board run and then I saw the That 6261, hmmm. It wouldn't be hard to add a master channel with gain/attenuation now....

Re: That1580 mini mixer

c12,14.16 gone. Metering will be done post unbalancing right before the 5k mixing resistors. Going with attiny84 somethings on each channel card, 10 leds, will try to emulate an lm3916 with the mcu. low current leds and peak metering should not be too much of a current draw. (led color render is mes...

Re: That1580 mini mixer

JR I would like to have even simple metering as you suggested but there is not a lot of board space left. Adding 5 mcu's is a lot just to drive the led's. I'll keep thinking on it. Meantime here is an attempt at digital switching for phantom, polarity and lcr pan. Also attaching the backplane schema...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

JR I have not ignored you, just busy working on the power supply before I get into the switches. The previous version p/s used an ltm8049 micromodule (with bga footprint) for the opamp rails and the TI tps7axx low noise +-regulators. I did have room on the board to go this way, but decided to try to...

Re: New: A Direct-Coupled Input-Capacitorless Active Mic Preamp

uhh just checking in re wayne's comment. I would not let my fail rate influence anyone, mainly because this was my first attempt at qfn. the 1580/5171 were not the cause of any problems. tldr for me was that i made the opposite error as most people in not putting enough solder on the pads. usually n...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

3d cad case for prototype. I'll soak it in conductive paint then paint some non conductive over that. Hopefully it will fit, but it's not that expensive to 3d print these buggers so one or two misses is ok. I might spring for a stainless steel 3d printed case even though they do co$t. https://1580mi...

Re: That1580/1510 mini mixer

Too scared to permanently solder all the preamp cards into backplane. As of last test everything was working, but I haven''t tested all channels at once. I tried to get some of my old 1510 preamp cards working and stuff them into a case, but I couldn't get proper signal passing. Cooked up an all in ...
