x189player Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 hmm... well, a mixer usually has some resistors in series with the lines in- are you using a schematic for this? and another thought is- by the time you buy the project box and the pots and parts, you might as well consider this 39$ radio shack mixer: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...ct%5Fid=32-2056 It also gives you sliders instead of knobs, and slider pots are hard to find and pricey- by the time you figure out how much you save doing it yourself divided by how long it takes you to build it... you may wind up paying youself 2$/hour for your labor... ...plus you know this way it's gonna work... I don't mind using radio shack gear for simple, cheap stuff. mixers have been around forever, so a Radio Shack mixer will be fine so long as you're not snooty about the brand name. I had one of this model and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of this model and it was fine. nah, no schematic, i just thought it up in my head. i might check out that radioshack mixer, but i wanted something rack mounted, like the second link that lovekraft posted. thanks for both of your help guys!!!

JohnnyG Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 thrashncut id check out ebay first of all if i were you. you can get some really good stuff on there for great prices. this little beauty cost me £25(about 45USD) just have a quick look there and figure out how much ur willing to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
