Line headphone mixer

Just thought I'd share a pic of a custom job I did last week.

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

The quest was to make a headphone distro mixer to take 16 line inputs and route them to four independent output busses. Also space was at a premium and limited to 2U.

So, things only just fitted in with standard parts - 70 knobs and only a few mm clearance all around. I think it was thanks to learning off DIY modulars that I was able to design this without too much complexity.

not many places care to tailor a headphone mix to that degree for four players. they must have a nice installation. how many hours did you put in that beauty?

Very nice mixer. 12 hours is "cheap" for a device like that.

Yes indeed the Drmel is a cool tool. I use mine on almost every project.

I buy the reinforced cutoff wheels they last many times longer than the standard ones. I had some bad experiences with the standard wheels breaking up in a bunch of very sharp splinters flying around at very high speed, one actually penetrating a beer can.

No beer was harmed in this experiment, at the time of the accident the can was fortunately empty.
