Setting up a headphone mix for the talent is boring. So why not give them simple tactile control of the mic level, and track level in the cans. Apollo has 2 HP outs with 80mv into 600ohms, more power than I've ever needed in the cans, so I figure I can afford passive.
I made up a box roughly following this circuit http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/linemixer.html but figuring separation is not that important, and to keep attenuation minimal, I changed resistors to 560R. It's not great though, the taper on the pots is super weird. Very little happens in the first 80% of the pot travel, it's all in the last %20. Thought about changing to linear pots, but I'm thinking this is an indication of an inappropriate circuit.
Anyone recommend a better one?
1. Mix 2 stereo 80mv sources
2. Passive. Theres plenty of juice coming out of the apollo.
2. Full seperation not needed. 12db or so difference between sources should be plenty.
3. Minimal attenuation (considering point 2)
