No.Mixers, Meters etc. DescriptionFlags
30Stage and Recording Mixer Able to be built in modular form, allowing as many (or few) channels as desired. Includes effects sends, channel and master inserts, and 3-band EQ with tuneable mid.  This is the most ambitious project so far, in terms of overall complexity - not for the faint of heart ! 2000
Mains Wiring
35Direct Injection (DI) Box An essential companion for the mixer for stage or recording work. Includes high and low level inputs. Two different versions to choose from - passive, or active 48V phantom / battery 2005
50Mic Circuit Tester This simple project was inspired by a reader, who needed a small oscillator to check mic circuits during sound setup. It is fixed frequency (tuned to A-440), and provides from 0 to 100mV into a typical microphone input.2000
55PPM and VU Meter A versatile and useful VU meter circuit, that can also operate as a Peak Programme Meter (PPM). See the average and peak output level from an amplifier or preamp.  Can also be used with any mixer. 2006
60LED VU Meter Nothing even remotely special about this LED VU meter, but it is a useful project nonetheless. Includes a simple rectifier circuit to allow full wave detection, and is suitable for line or speaker levels.Feb 08

Universal Preamp/ Mixer
A small preamp and mixer, able to be expanded into 4 stereo input channels. Mic or phono preamps can be added to the front end to make a small and versatile home recording mixer. Includes tone controls.

Phantom Feed Supply
Extremely low ripple and noise were the design goals, and this supply is extraordinarily quiet. Using a simple discrete regulator means no hard-to-get high voltage regulators, and it uses a readily available power transformer as well. Also features a phantom power microphone feed, and a technique to match supply resistorsDec 05
