Hi there,
I know that this subject comes up again and again but I need some guide and help figuring this conversion ;D
I use a simplified mixer with 16 channels made with modified channel strips (preamp and EQ with THAT 1646 output) feeding NYD balanced passive mixer.
It has worked very well for years, but it the L-C-R is quite limitating... This arrangement is quite lossy (40dB)
I have re-read posts about it (10 years old with lots of pix missing) and I'm quite confusing.
What's the best ? Using the orban pan pot with dual pots ? but in this case wouldn't it be even more lossy ? And what would be the best resistors value considering what is driving the pan and also considering my mixing network resistor's value ?
-I have also found back a "strange" implement made by NYD (I suppose...) but I have no idea of its performance or drawbacks, it also use a dual pot, but the wiper aren't connected to ground contrary to Orban implement....
-and last but not least another implement with quad pot that I found on a old usb memory stick without value...Don't know where it comes from...The filename suggest that it is "lossless". Quad pots are not easy to find (I found some in China.....)
Any help or suggestions are welcome.
