Audio Modular MIXER with 6 and up input Channel

A lot of friends ask me a circuit AUDIO MIXER, for various uses. I will begin wit a circuit wic !ou can it
manufacture, as !ou want. "is !ou can #lace in te MODU$E% of in#uts an! circuit !ou want, de#ending on te use
tat !ou intend te MIXER, te same is also for te number of in#ut cannels, tat !ou will manufacture. &elow I
will give enoug circuits wit various levels of 'ualit! and com#le(it!. All te circuits tat #ro#ose and are sim#le
also te! maintain, a ver! good level of 'ualit!. )or tose wo te! are interested te! can make few #atience.
%ortl! I will give #ro*ect, #rofessional level console of mi( signals of sound.
In te )ig. + e(ist te main circuit of MIXER,-.. It is constituted b! - in#ut cannels. "e cannels from ./ +,0
are mono#onic cannels. "e circuit tat !ou will select for tis #lace, can be in in#ut connection, &A$A1.E or
U1&A$A1.E 2 %!mmetrical or as!mmetrical 3, ave 4O5ER 4/A1"OM, for Electret micro#ones, use various t!#es
#lugs of in#ut. "e cannels ./ 6,-, are intended for stereo use. "e number of in#ut cannels te! can increase
itself as long !ou want, making coice between mono and stereo of circuits. More details for te in#ut circuits I will
give se#aratel! for eac circuit. "e out#ut of eac cannel drive te R7+,-, tat #otesometer regulation level of
sound. 5it R78,+9 we create conditions of balance between two cannels 2 #anoramic #otesometer 2 &A$A1.E 33.
All te signals from te in#ut cannels in tis #oint are added b! two adders 2 I.+a,b 3, for eac cannel /ere e(ist
two trimmer "R+,9 tat ad*ust te gain of eac I., ada#ting te level of signal of out#ut, in te level tat we want.

Many friends asked if its possible in the MIXER exist also a circuit monitor, so that is possible the pre-listen channels without they are
open pot. Fader or they can hear that it exist in the each input channel, parallel with the sound that oes to the main output, without
exist his effect of one in the other. !his work him they make the circuits that I i"e. In the Fi.#$, exist a circuit that this listen
becomes from independent switches, with possibility of listen all channels, we want. %arallel, exist also diodes &E' '#-(, that shows
more channel is open. !hen exist a classic summin amplifier and a potesometer that reulates le"el to headphone amplifier. !his
sinal is chared with the mainly sinal, but only in a headphone amplifier. If the circuit became complexer, we could cut the sinal
from exit &-R, when we pressed some switch. In the Fi.#), exist a circuit that make the same work, but is simpler. Instead of
switches, exists a double rotary switch, that select only a input channel each time. In the place of I*#, it can enter somebody from
opamp. that propose, choice of that will be proportional units that will be used.
