I'd like to convert an oldschool tube broadcast mixing console to have a stereo output and pan knobs. I know an EXTREMELY simple way to do this would be to utilize one of the aux busses for mixdown (ie. aux out becomes LEFT OUT, main mix becomes RIGHT OUT)....which works, but it's a little "ghetto".
How much work would be involved in a simple, elegant stereo conversion? I'd prefer to avoid adding transformers and to each channel for isolation if possible. Preferably, it would be a simple parallel split from the existing bus to create another....obviously each bus would pass through appropriate resistors and dual-concentric pots for panning until arriving at their respective outputs.
Thanks in advance for the help!
