Wow!
Thanks guys. That sketch is very similar to what I sketched out last night. Timmy,Terry and Larry...(sounds like a comedy troupe or English mod act right?)
Thanks for the input, and yes, I would like any documentation from any angle. This forum once again proves to be the most amazing resource on the planet.
Larry...
You know, I sat there for 2 hours pondering the re-packaging options and always came up with the need to ditch the linear fader, as it really isn't needed at all. A pot would suffice and I also agree that using the cue pot location for an input attenuator is very logical. By cutting off the fader end, the package would be slightly longer than a 1073. Perfect! The idea of this project is to have two portable racks with 8 modules each. I think my client will be happy about this approach.
As to the ADK TT-AU (C-12 & U-67), no mods needed...they sound wonderful by themselves. I think you may be thinking of the APEX 460 project that I did. It was well worth the effort too. A 5 star GE 12AY7 (6072A), plate coupling cap changed out to a Tantalum type, and the Cinemag transformer was all I have done so far. It sounds very nice and smooth and a big upgrade in performance.
I hope that's what you're talking about. I may have to go back to the ADK thread and read to see if I missed something.
BTW, Larry Valilla makes some great microphones for the money and is one hell of a nice guy.
Again, Thanks Timmy. I am going to print it out and get to work.
Hand me the solder sucker please...
