Dear Soundiyer,
Since a couple of day i'm working on a project (still prototyping and testing).
I would like to build custom channel for my Soundcraft 600 series. The goal is to get a more complete channel wit parametric EQ, gate, high end Mic pre, phase swith, all aux pots and more.
The thing is that i would like this channel could be use in other Soundcraft console like 6000, 8000, 200B, 400... that people who want one could use it in our console.
So if anybody there got one of this console, i need faceplate channel dimension, only external size not complete holes positions
.
So what about the channel:
-Mic pre should be Neve or Studer 169 (i don't know now, tell me what you think about that)
-Usual LINE, PHASE, +48v button
-A Gate like the D&R gate. Quite simple and do the job quite well
- Low pass and HighPass filter with variable frequency: the one of the Lafond chroma is perfect
-Four Band or Three band depend on the faceplate size: Inspired by the Sontec M250 made by Igor
- Six auxiliary. Each could pre or Post
-Big know for mute and solo like the one on SSL board
-Complete routing by relay with possibility to switch element order like EQ before Gate...
-8 to 24 busses routing depending which console you get.
-Penny gilles 100mm fader to replace ALPS one.
The project is to build a complete PCB who can match with different Soundcraft consoles or others...
I got lot of contact in electronic industry like PCB manufacturer, Pot manufacturer, Faceplate printer... so it will not be a big deal to make 100pcs of this Channel. The thing is that i need to know if you are in ?, cause it's a big project and i will be very happy to get your opinion and share experiences about Audio DIY.
Cost know: I think a complete channel (knobs, transformer, pots, faceplates) should be around 300€ . The most expensive parts are transformer and mechanical parts like relay, switches, knobs...
So waiting for your back if you got one soundcraft console like 6000, 8000, 200B, 400 series i need dimension first and schematic to compare busses connectors.
