KMB-AUDIO said:Ian,
What is the pin spacings for the options you have on the board now? From the cinemag data sheet (http://cinemag.biz/line_input/PDF/CMLI-15-15B.pdf), it looks like the pin spacing is 5.08 mm. The jensen is a bit narrower at 3.81 mm (http://www.jensen-transformers.com/datashts/11p1hpc.pdf).

KMB-AUDIO said:In real world practice, is the difference between +18dBu and +20dBu substantial? I looked up the specs for my converters and they have a max output of +22dBu; I imagine that I would have to get pretty close to "digital zero" to hit that.
I'm with you Ian, keep it as is unless there would be a huge benefit to include the footprint for the larger transformer.

Good then, i will find a way to use my transformers anyhow, i'll just be more carefull on my next order. I haven't contacted Dave yet. I have been busy soldering, soldering and soldering!
Sorry for the trouble and thanks!

KMB-AUDIO said:This is pretty much what I was going to do as well! I've been working up a design with my channels coming in at 2" wide, I have big fingers and need the room
I'm going to wait on the final design once I get the EQ boards from you to see if my design will work ok.
@Ian, are the Helios boards 3U now? Are these the ones you sent me? I ask because from the front panel designs I've seen here, the EQ boards seem to be taller than 3U.
I was going to work with http://www.8020.net/ to purchase the extruded rails.
KMB-AUDIO said:I would prefer the taller EQ, so that is good.
When I say channel, I mean fader, EQ, Aux/Pan. I plan on having the twin line amp in a separate bucket from the rest of the controls, so I don't think they need to match up, or am I not thinking about it the right way? Right now my two channel width is 4" as opposed to 2.4" as you have it - does that make any sense?
Another question, since I am not going to be installing any mic-pres, can I use the +48 rail on the backplane as a solo bus?
