The channel module drawing tells more than a thousand words:

My biggest published DIY project so far. A fully featured console for (multitrack) recording and mixing. Or to be used as an input stage for a digital workstation and with the possibility to mix in the analog domain.
Designed with love for those who can't afford a high $ vintage console, but get rash from the Chinese audio electronics.
The design work of the channel module is almost ready. The master/group module and the monitor/aux module will follow.
I will publish all the documentation here. But please be patient, this is a large and time consuming project.
All comments and suggestions welcome!
Some highlights:
Transformer balanced discrete mic preamp (Studer 169).
Nice sounding EQ (Studer 169) allowing discrete or IC op-amps.
Machine return / line input with own +/-15dB gain control. Not a pad in front of the mic stage, but a purpose designed balanced input (with a Studer 169 transformer option).
Balanced insert with in/out switch.
Balanced post fader direct out for a multitrack tape recorder / audio interface.
Routing to master and 8 groups.
8 auxes with small trimmer style level controls and pre/post fader switches (1-6 and 7-8).
PFL/SOLO switch.
Channel ON/OFF switch.
The mechanical design allows standard 40mm or 500 series compatible 38mm module width.
