[Alécio Costa - Brazil]

Mixerman, probably the plugin version will be released on TDM for Alsihad first -lol
Cool Gear, Brad!
Congratulations!

why don't you just post a parts list, minus the metal chasis, and engraving.....and let those interested track down the parts and build whatever they want? just a thought.

The swtches are all Shallco.  The attenuator was built by Marchand electronics to a particular spec (2k5 bridged T Holco R's) the wire is PTFE coated silver-plated stranded.  Typical Mil-spec.  XLR's are Neutrik (Switchcraft are better, imo) and the box is a box.

Ask me how I know all this...

How do you have all this knowledge?
Please bring us out of the dark!

Brad,
Was there a big change in your monitor path?
I can't wait to send you some more stuff so it can go through your new console! Congrats! it looks amazing!

It's basically DC's design. He told me how to do the various things (sharing a lot of experience based decisions in the process) and I incorporated them into the console as I needed them...

Huge increase in flexibilty and speed. The chain sounds the same, and though it's easy to fool yourself, I'm pretty sure it's a little more open sounding...

You could almost put design in quotes here as it was just suggesting components that I've used for many years, but in a slightly different configuration.  It's not very complicated, but I think my approach is proven to sound transparent, and be totally reliable.

In fairness, leading mastering pundits have roundly rejected B-rad's passive monitoring approach, specifically on the grounds of _reduced_ openness, so we must be on to something good...

Yeaah, that is a nice thing.

Mine is also finished, when I get a cam, I'll post a pic of it. Simple 1u thing but works very well. My monitoring mode switch is one of the best parts of it.

There's two toggle switches. When they are toggled to left and right, you're stereo. When positioned towards center, you're in mono. When both are pointing to left, you have left mono - and vice versa.

Also the attenuators before the processors are nice - 11db in 23 steps. The first position actually takes them out of the circuit so they don't cause any more load when necessary. Actually the whole board doesn't parallel unnecessary loads in any mode.

Sounds great, Jaakko. Please post some pics when you get a camera...
