That sounds interesting.
And a loooot of work.
Wouldn't it be easier to use the 56pin Edac to run the unbalanced wires (send and return) to an external box behind or under the desk and do the balancing /debalancing in this box?
So you don't need to buy 160pin edacs and can use what you already have.
You could use a seperate PSU for all the THAT's and its possible to unmod it very fast.
Maybe you'll have some spare time then for some other mods. :grin:
I (maybe) want to add these mods to my soundcrafts: (at the moment) Hopefully I'll never find much time for doing this
1. Putting two 2400 together to one big 2400. (the first a 4800 maybe) :green:
Connecting the Aux and Busses to both desks. Modifying the master channel with discrete opamps.
2. Modifying the routing.
before: Right Output is connected to even channels, Left to odd channels
after: connecting the Left Output to ALL Bus-Switches (1-24) of the left desk. connecting the Right Outputs to ALL Bus-Switches (1-24) of the right desk. So I can route to both desks from every channel. (hopefully) :wink:
3. VU Led Illumination for the second desk. White or purple leds for the "ON" LEDs? :wink:
4. Making a complete new masterchannel with Analyzer, Peakmeter and G-SSL of course. :green:
5. Adding a flying fader automation.
Idea 1: Buying 3x BCF2000. Installing the fader to the desk. Using a fixed 10k Resistor instead of the channel fader. Control the volume with midi from Cubase/Logic/ProTools...
Idea2: Buying 3x BCF2000 again. Buy dual fader with linear taper and log taper. So you can really change the volume at the channel fader.
6. Making a new PSU. Make new channels. (by using the matrix and aux... from the existing channels)
Either digital Channels with rotary encoder (one more BCF2000) :wink:
(I think I need only one "digital channel" because its easier to select each channel in the sequencer for adjustments.
New analog channels with my preferred channel dynamics and eq. (dynamics and eq on 160x100mm pcb)
7. After 5 years - selling everything and get an old SSL4000 for cheap. :wink:
